Hold on there Esanta. Ebola isn't a "racist" virus. It's an escalating problem that medical researchers are presently grappling with.
Consider that almost the entire world has spent an enormous amount of money and manpower into seeking a vaccine for the HIV virus and to date: failed.
Many viruses are very complex and highly changeable. Ebola has already mutated once maybe twice.
It's not reasonable to state that creating vaccines is easy and therefore every disease in Africa that doesn't have a vacceine for it doesn't have one because non-Africans are racists.
Lol... get a grip on yourself.
Where did I use the word, racist, or the word easy? That's your problem, mate. You so fervently jump on something then misrepresent it completely in order to discredit it. I never said it was out of racism that companies don't make vaccines for some diseases in Africa that cause small-scale outbreaks, nor that it's 'easy' to make vaccines. I said it was unprofitable for pharmaceutical companies, even if we have the science and scientists well-equipped to create vaccines. A big pharma company would need to invest millions, or more, into research to create a vaccine for Ebola, and considering the largest number of people infected annually in the last 20 years, according to the
CDC has been less than 600, some years only tens, and considering that Ebola is a contact transmitted virus whose onset is quick enough to significantly mitigate the risk of worldwide pandemic, it wouldn't pay pharmaceutical companies to fund the research needed to create a vaccine.
They are businesses, at the end of the day.
As for the vaccine for HIV, almost 100 of the best HIV researchers were killed on the shot-down Malaysian airlines flight. That was another side to the point. It nicely coincides with Putin's new lucrative pharmaceutical ties. And pay attention, genius, cause this is the point: business is worth lives, AgeOfKnowledge, otherwise pharmaceutical companies might be non-profits!
