Send it to Africa, we don't need it. If there is a outbreak of ebola in the near future in the US that's certainly going to look funny.

Dear, wanna know more? Please, follow didnotyouknow7 👍😊

It is right

great

Have fun with your poison. Last time i checked Ebola hasnt affected me, my friends, my family, people my family or friends know, haven't seen any out breaks of Ebola in my state. I'll pass on the poison.

OK I allow them to test Ebola on Americans and see what happens to them.

Finding a cure for the Trump virus is also essential.

Satire I'll pass. Vaccinations cause Autism. /Satire

The creators of the Ebola virus find a cure....should be the headline. Stop fooling Africans

Nice

It is crazy that the Africans dying from Ebola are attacking the Ebola treatment centers making the outbreaks far worse than they should be

{recently people who have been vaccinated and had had the disease had a resurgence of the disease so the vaccine isn't that protective against this plague that will soon go global.}

Why you guys are not make a coverage of IndianProtestagainstCAANRC CAA_NRC_Protests IndiaAgainstCAA_NRC AGAINSTBJP

And yet still no cure for cancer

Let Trump take the first dose.

And who will be the laboratory rats? Africans as usual

THIS IS HOW THE WALKING DEAD STARTED

Amazing

Well there is hmmm

Very good news

A co-worker that was a Chemistry PHD and previously worked for 3M. 2 things stuck in my mind. He would not let microwave popcorn in the house, . Said 'You don't want to know what's really in it the butter'And that he believed that humans would die off from a manufactured virus.

Thats is very good progress from the,U.S.A Governmant 🇱🇷🇱🇷to rescue the lif of innocents civilian. We need more evola vaccinations in Africa..

SandyDarity Do they have it for West Africa?

Hope it works better than the flu vaccine.

Put your tinfoil hat on and let them spike that vein.
