Without Lucrative Market, Potential Ebola Vaccine Was Shelved for Years

If this bothers you, start your own pharma company and run it as a charity. Let's see how well you do. Let's see if you can even make payroll.

Just cannot see why the Brits could not have put a vaccine on the market ... Why does the United States have to invent almost every drug and vaccine out there, If they had worked on this when this problem was discovered we would not be in this mess. Is it perhaps here in the states you need to make a profit ... (unless you are government funded, )

You are quite wrong, it does not.

No not surprised, just curious to see watch the reaction of the group. I am sure that if I posted a video of a little girl laughing while holding a puppy it would some how devolve into a discussion about guns, race, ineffective presidents, terrorism or the threat of foreign workers.

So true.

Or better yet, why can't Africa take care of African problems?

You know how it rolls. They all hate "Merica" until the world needs saving, then it's why isn't the USA doing something

A deadly disease that can be transmitted human to human is never an endemic problem. There are more than enough examples throughout human history to illustrate that.

What you suggested was exactly the approach we took for years. What is happening now is the result.

Ebola is an 'African' problem? Wow, just, wow!
