The truly clueless are those saying: "There has been 14 Ebola outbreaks since 1976. All stopped within months and deaths were less then 400..."
EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE... which is why I'm saying what doesn't matter... is what you say in your opinion.
You are saying that... all ebola stops within months... all ebola deaths less than 400... when looking straight at the current outbreak... which has not stopped within months... but has been going on for months longer than you claim any have, and it is still expanding at an accelerating pace, getting close to going parabolic now, while the death toll IN THIS OUTBREAK at a still very early stage... is already closing in on TWENTY times what you claim for all of them... ?
The rest ? You want to blame ME for the world being what it is... because you don't like my honesty in addressing the ebola risks relative to others ? So, you claim I'm responsible for the FACT that other diseases exist ? LOL!!! I'm being "narrow minded and self centered" because it is TRUE that malaria has not killed many people in the United States, this year, or even put anyone at risk... while ebola has ?
I don't determine for them what other people care about... but, I'm not going to lie about it... because you think it isn't politically correct to be honest about the reality. The reality is... ebola in Africa is a risk to US... and that makes it our business... while malaria in Africa is NOT a risk to US... and that makes it NOT our business... in the way that ebola is. That's just the FACT... whether you like it or not.
I didn't invent malaria... it doesn't exist only because I'm ignoring it and concerning myself with addressing ebola risks instead. Reality is, it is THEIR responsibility in those places where malaria exists, not OUR responsibility... to govern those other countries, and prioritize what they most need to fix. We're not going to succeed in "fixing" malaria for them by telling them how to do things differently ? Apparently, you think colonialism is the solution... and think it's my fault that we don't "own" Africa and tell them how to run things ?
I think you have little competition here in the cluelessness sweepstakes...
So, your introduction of malaria is a red herring... that has nothing to do with our self interest in containing the risk of ebola... which DOES pose risks for us that you are denying, for some obtuse reason... while those risks grow larger as those guys over there fail in addressing the problem...
FWIW, I don't generally care what you do in your back yard... but, when what you are doing in your back yard obviously subjects my kids to a large and growing risk of dying in my back yard... then, it becomes my business.
Without ebola... and you arguing that it isn't a problem... it's not like you'd be doing anything different to address the massive problem of malaria... which you claim somehow makes ebola irrelevant ? It's just a "talking point" for you in an argument... which you're applying here while trying to argue a point that has you seeking to enable more people in dying from ebola... which makes you "more compassionate"... instead of "narrow minded and self centered" ? LOL!!!
So, your argument that malaria is a bigger problem than ebola... while blaming me for it because I'm being honest in pointing out the FACT that malaria is not a growing problem... and poses no risks to anyone outside the third world... simply fails the test of relevance.
I'm not advocating FOR sustaining the problem of malaria... however, you ARE advocating for deliberate inaction that will necessarily operate to sustain, expand, and enable the spread of ebola... and foster the problems ebola creates. Malaria is not a growing problem... it is not de-stabilizing societies or governments, anywhere... it is not going to spread around the world and kill half the population of the planet. Ebola, if it is not checked... can and may well do just that.
You don't see the difference ? That's just clueless...
