Euthanatize Ebola

[Flanders]

Democrats invented death panels to kill the elderly. Before death panels came along liberals decriminalized abortion in order to kill infants. So how come liberalism’s culture of death is not calling for killing everyone infected with Ebola? Euthanizing everyone with a deadly disease makes a lot more sense than does infanticide and killing the elderly who cannot infect the young with old age.

Admittedly, the initial number of people killed in the first round will be in the tens of thousands, but as time goes by the number will become negligible.

Euthanizing Ebola sufferers should be a walk in the park for Democrats. Unlike HIV/AIDS those stricken with Ebola do not a have the homosexual community lobbying for them.

On the plus side, there are not enough people sick with Ebola to attract the population control crowd. Even if you eliminate everyone with Ebola their deaths will not move the needle enough to register with John Kerry and his pals. Those people only deal in the hundreds of millions.

The Ebola threat is actually giving the population control butchers a chance to show how much they care. The very people who twist the word humane to mean killing are now using the word to call for humane treatment for everyone afflicted with Ebola. I’m not impressed. The skeptic in me tells me that their sudden burst of mercy is a disguise for developing a population control vaccine by experimenting on those already afflicted. Wiping out a disease is lost opportunity as far as those people are concerned

NOTE: Before anyone cites those diseases that were cured in the past remember that those cures were found before the Democrat party’s culture of death was formulated, and long before the population control crowd acquired the political power they now exercise.

Here’s a superb example of hypocrisy.

Democrats stand mute when over one million children in Third World countries are condemned to death every year by the World Heath Organization’s ban on DDT, yet every piece of Democrat scum is crying crocodile tears over Ebola. Before Ebola surfaced Typhoid Nancy was at the border welcoming diseased illegal aliens into the country. After the illegals got in Taqiyya the Liar disbursed them to every state.

Finally, congressional Democrats are screwed. They cannot distance themselves from immigration policy they supported in full; so they must continue to support open-borders even if it means the borders remain open to a deadly disease. Democrats have no choice but to fight tooth and nail to keep the borders open rather than support anything that could stop Ebola from coming here. Their pals in the media spinning the Democrat position on importing Ebola into humanitarian compassion is their only hope. Democrats have so much killing in their column I doubt if it will work.

Bottom line: Democrat scum are bringing Ebola here for political reasons that have nothing to do with humane treatment.

Possible cure for all five known Ebola viruses discovered...

Scientists Discover Human Antibodies to Fight Ebola Virus
May 18, 2017 - Scientists have discovered a possible cure for all five known Ebola viruses, one of which ravaged West Africa in recent years.

The so-called broadly neutralizing antibodies were discovered in the blood of a survivor of the West African epidemic, which ran from late 2013 to mid-2016. The deadly virus killed more than 11,000 people of the nearly 29,000 who became infected in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. Ebola got its name from the first documented outbreak, which occurred along the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, in 1976. Since then, there have been two dozen outbreaks of Ebola in Africa, including a current one that has infected nine people in the DRC. Three people have died.

Kartik Chandran, a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, helped identify the antibodies, which were described online in the journal Cell. He is optimistic that the antibodies can be used as a single therapy to treat all Ebola viruses. "Based on the nonhuman primate studies that are ongoing, and given the fact that they are pretty predictive, I would be optimistic that they could be used to protect people and reverse disease," Chandran said.

350 antibodies isolated

Researchers isolated about 350 antibodies from the human blood sample, two of which showed promise in neutralizing three viruses in tissue culture. The antibodies work by interfering with a process that the pathogen uses to infect and multiply inside cells. The drug company Mapp Pharmaceutical Inc. is now testing the antibodies in monkeys to make sure they are safe and effective. A forerunner of the experimental drug, called Zmapp, was in the experimental stages when it was pressed into service during the last epidemic. Zmapp is a combination of cloned antibodies discovered in mice that enlist the body's natural immune system to fight infection. If given up to five days after symptoms appear, it can cure the disease.

The problem, Chandran said, is Zmapp is not terribly specific and works to neutralize only Ebola Zaire, one of the five known viruses. He said the broadly neutralizing human antibodies attack and destroy all of the viruses. It took scientists just six months to discover the antibodies, according to Chandran, "so this is really incredibly fast and incredibly gratifying. And we are hoping that things will continue at this pace and that in very short order we will be in a position to be able to test these things in people." While the broadly neutralizing antibodies are being developed as a treatment, Chandran envisions using them in a vaccine that can be given ahead of an Ebola outbreak to guard against infection.

The May 18 report seems nice. Where did it come from? We'll be happy to discuss antibodies, because ebola's cousin was circulating in Uganda in 1960.

So. Sudan partially closes border due to ebola scare...

South Sudan State Partially Closes Border in Ebola Scare
May 23, 2017 - State authorities in South Sudan closed part of their border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo last week in an effort to prevent the spread of the deadly Ebola outbreak, declared by the World Health Organization in a remote, northern part of the DRC two weeks ago.

The WHO has confirmed that four people have died from the disease in the DRC. Lino Utu, deputy governor of Tambura state, said the movement of people and goods between the two countries at the border town of Ezo had been restricted until further notice. "We closed the border temporarily because of Ebola," Utu said. "We have been told it has been found in DR-Congo. If we leave the border open, it can trickle down to Tambura state." He said the area along the border with the DRC had been teeming with activity, "because it is where the people from the Democratic Republic of the Congo bring in their goods, and also the people from Tambura state bring in their goods. It's a big market."

Uto said doctors have confirmed that Ebola can be found in bushmeat, so state officials have temporarily banned the sale of all bushmeat in the markets. "We cannot allow bushmeat to be sold any longer because people can easily contract Ebola from meat," Utu said. The minister of health was informed about Tambura's move to close the border at Ezo on Tuesday. Utu said international health workers, including those with the WHO, are partnering with local officials to educate the public about how Ebola is spread. "This is awareness that has been going on and on and on," he added. Utu is appealing to the WHO to send experts to Tambura to screen people for the deadly virus "and advise us in other areas as far as how Ebola is contracted and how we can prevent the spread of Ebola," he said, adding, "I really need them to come to us on the ground in Tambura state."

Authorities in Gbudue state, which also runs along the DRC, have banned the sale of bushmeat in Yambio markets, but have kept border crossing points open. The Gbudue state minister for information, Gibson Bullen Wande, said wildlife officials are creating awareness about the dangers of eating bushmeat. He said state officials and nongovernmental organization health partners have trained and deployed health workers along the border to monitor movement of traders. "We have also left some medical workers along those areas to let them monitor," he said. Bullen said as far as he is concerned, it is the responsibility of the national government to decide whether to close the border between the two countries. On Tuesday, the state director of wildlife went on the air to warn people against eating bushmeat. "We are going to ban the sale of all bushmeat or any trading of the bushmeat [because] those are the things that people get Ebola from," Bullen said.

Congo to Use Ebola Vaccination to Fight Outbreak...

Congo Approves Use of Ebola Vaccination to Fight Outbreak
May 29, 2017 — Democratic Republic of Congo's Health Ministry has approved the use of a new Ebola vaccine to counter an outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever in its northeast that has killed four people, a spokesman said on Monday.

"The non-objection was given. Now there's a Medecins Sans Frontieres team that is arriving [in Congo] today to validate the protocol with the technical teams," Jonathan Simba, a Health Ministry spokesman, said by telephone. The vaccine, known as rVSV-ZEBOV and developed by Merck, is not yet licensed but was shown to be highly protective against Ebola in clinical trials published last December.

As of Friday, Congo had registered 52 total suspected cases, including two that have been confirmed, the World Health Organization spokesman in Congo, Eugene Kabambi, said by telephone, adding that the situation appears to be under control.

Simba said that the details of the vaccination campaign would be announced after a meeting of the health ministry and its partners set to take place on Monday or Tuesday. A vaccination campaign would present logistical challenges in Congo's isolated northeastern forests, including transporting and storing the vaccine in special containers at the required minus 80 degrees Celsius.

Genetic Testing Underway on Virus Behind New Ebola Outbreak
May 26, 2017 - Tests are underway to determine the genetic sequence of the Ebola virus behind an outbreak in central Africa, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control researcher said Friday.

Dr. Barbara Knust, an epidemiologist, told VOA's Horn of Africa service that scientists are looking for "clues" about where this strain of Ebola originated and how to treat it. "That could help [us] understand how this virus is related to other viruses that have caused other Ebola outbreaks," she said.

The latest Ebola outbreak is in northern Democratic Republic of the Congo, in a remote area near the border with the Central African Republic. The World Health Organization said that as of May 24, Ebola had killed four people in the area and the number of suspected cases stood at 44. The Ebola virus, which causes a type of hemorrhagic fever, killed more than 11,000 people across the West African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone in 2014 and 2015.

Resources 'mobilized quickly'

Staff from the CDC, the WHO, the Congolese Ministry of Health and other agencies are in Congo's Bas Uele province, working to contain the spread of the virus. Knust said the international response was going "fine." "The responders involved in this outbreak very certainly are taking it seriously and the resources have been mobilized quickly," she said. "At least at this point of time [it] appears that it was detected fairly early, although that information is forthcoming. There is some hope it will remain a limited outbreak." She said there had been discussion of using experimental treatments used in the West African outbreak, but that the Congolese government had not given its approval.

Dr. Galma Guyo, a disease control specialist in Nairobi, was part of an African Union team that responded to the Ebola outbreak in Liberia. He warned that the DRC's location in the center of Africa could allow the virus there to spread across borders. "There is a possibility that the viruses can easily spread and be hard to detect due to the remoteness of the region, too," he said.
