Quite angry about Ebola coverage

[Gandalf]

Good observations and points.

I suppose I am more cynical about medicine these days and I don't doubt that there are benefits to vaccinations, but I also assume that there must be problems too (connected with many other things) and on the whole it is in the medical industry interest to keep vaccinations in a positive light and the words of people like Bill Gates hardly make you rest easy about their purpose. Many parents do not really know what they are putting into their babies. At the least people should be aware, but people generally trust their doctors, and I am sure doctors really think they are doing the right thing too. Do we really know the long term consequences? I'm fine with the flu, I don't want a shot for it. Plenty of vitamin C and water is enough.

I agree that everyone is getting diagnosed with something these days and I question to what extent it is just to keep people medicated and compliant. I cannot speak for everyone, but my own take is that it is the system that is a key problem and it suits the system to make people think there is something wrong with them. Take the shot, take the pill, it's good for you. Don't talk back! I think a better system would lead to less difficult children, less depression in adults etc. It can never be perfect, but the system seems designed to diagnose something wrong with you and say nothing to see here. I'm somewhat deviating and going off cue here.

I just hope this ebola is contained soon. It looks like a horrible way to die, I just don't trust the people in control, and the man that got back to America who turned himself in, but got set loose. Well, it is troubling.

As adam said it will mutate.

Its only a matter of time and it will be airbourne.

Many on here believe in evolution well this right here is actually what you have been waiting for...twelve monkeys..part deux.

Americans and europeans so comfy in their chairs when its killing thousands of africans but as soon as a british nurse gets it the test vaccine pops out!

Something bad is going to happen guys..very bad.
