Good Luck Dr. Sanchez, I hope your research will help and inspire the other vaccine researchers to finish their work.

Literally a week after I finished reading The Hot Zone, I got a bleeding ulcer that caused me to vomit blood - HOLY S**T! I nearly crapped my pants with all the ideas that started to flow through my head

Thanks for making me feel incredibly old, d-bag.

Hot Zone was a great read and all the more alarming in that it was a true story. But I have to wonder how much of a problem Ebola/Marburg actually are in the world. Yes, they’re horrible and graphically lethal, but they kill their victims so quickly, they’re not likely to become epidemics the way TB, AIDS, or influenza are.
But hey, if they can come up with a vaccine for it, great!

Richard Preston is the brother of another writer I like Douglas Preston (who wrote the Pendergast novels with Lincoln Child).
If you like Hot Zone, check out the Cobra Event (also by Richard Preston).

There’s something powerfully compelling about something so strongly contagious and thuroughly deadly. I think that’s why killer plague and zombie fiction and films as well as non-fiction accounts appeal to us on a basic level. It’s happened before (black death, spanish flu) and it’ll surely happen again.

I wish researchers would spend more time looking at ways to prevent/treat things like autism that affect a lot more people.

Autism affects a lot of people, but Ebola is fatal. A vaccine would at least allow health care workers to interact with victims, which is a suicide mission as of now.

Why is everyone picking on Ebola? What did she ever do to you?

http://www.healthtruthrevealed.com/full-page.php?id=1359428303&&page=a rticleUh, yeah. I’m all for alternative medicine but these are the same idiots that advocate prayer as an alternative to vaccination, claim that HIV is not linked to AIDS, and wonder “Are We Nearing The Biblically Prophesied End Times?”

Kinda naive to say there aren’t people working on other more “popular” things like autism, or that research into Ebola is preventing that from happening.
And that Crusador link - awesome-looking text, but they spelled it wrong.

I think we were interested in it because we were freaking scared. I know I was, and to some extent, still am. Do you think it’s okay for the press to effectively panic for us with all the talk of killer bugs that are just waiting for the right moment to strike?
