Related: About this forumTYT: Ban Travel From West Africa? Ebola Fear Mongering Fox News Style
"If theres one question being asked more than any other about the ebola epidemic in west Africa, its why public health officials dont just impose a travel ban to isolate the virus to the region. Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci explained this to Chris Wallace in wider interview on Sunday, but he returned to explore it in more detail on Fox & Friends Monday morning.
From a public health standpoint, that really doesnt make any sense, Fauci said. When you completely seal off and dont let planes in or out of the west African countries involved, then you could paradoxically make things much worse, in the sense that you cant get supplies in, you cant get help in, you cant get the kind of things in there that we need to contain the epidemic. That marginalizes them. You could have civil unrest, governments could fall, and then you wind up having spread the virus to other countries in west Africa, which would only compound the problem.

There is nothing that Fox would like to see better than complete chaos in west Africa...let's face it, there are lots of black people there and they would like see a reduction in that population.
That sounds like but maybe not.

NaturalNews: On Ebola, mainstream media, government and health authorities censoring natural cures
In any pandemic, there will be a sustained and malicious effort to program the public to stay away from medicinal herbs, Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutritional therapies and anything else that doesn't profit the pharmaceutical industry.
