Pardon my cynicism, but it seems to me that someone is going to make huge money off a cure that was almost unneeded not that long ago.

    And the "leaders" of these countries will take that aid money and purchase a few more private jets and villas in Malibu while their subjects die in the streets. I'm sorry but it's true. These are the same leaders Obama invited over for his Africa Summit.

    Why do you think it was imperative that the doctors who contracted Ebola were briskly - and *very* publicly - brought back to the CONUS for "treatment"? If we learned one thing - it's that Fear Sells. What a wonderful way to scare the hell out of 340 Million people in order to get money than potentially exposing them to an almost certainly fatal virus on their own turf?
