I'd like to see comments from those in this country who refuse to have their children inoculated.
Remember those 2 doctors who got Ebola and then were sent to the CDC? They had this experimental antidote and it worked, few days later they were both healthy again. Can we please FFS offer this to Africa? It's a terrible way to go, we must ask the CDC to share it
