Actually, they have been working on a vaccine for ebola since before this recent outbreak. I'm not sure how close they are to distributing it though.
I think I heard that they were testing it on volunteers over here (UK) but it would be 4 years until they know if it's safe. - Might be wrong about that though

The chocolate hasn't been affected. The countries that produce the most cocoa (Ghana and Cote d'Ivoire) won't let people from infected countries past their borders.0

Nah, that shiz is like the clap - used to be terrifying, now it's fixed with a decent dose of antibiotics
HAHAHA! Actually Leprosy is the same way.
I do agree that it's fear mongering...there hasn't been a legit epidemic in the US of any of these kinds of diseases...and no pandemics since what-the Spanish Flu?
But the Media broadcasts it to scare people and to keep people watching...just silly.

the whole worldwide government disease conspiracy argument seems alot less convincing when you realize almost every wealthy nation provides free health care0 -
