I have no idea where you got that from and if I were you I'd demand my money back from whatever unlicensed street pharmacist standing on a corner sold you those pills.

When I visit a doc and he recommends a course of treatment, I ask the doc for a money back guarantee ... no workie, he pays me all $$ spent. If they balk, I know that they are not sure and most likely giving me BS.

It IS a science. It is NOT an exact 'this WILL cure you.'

u go into to see a Dr....he gives u pills saying it will cure you in 6 days .. 6 days later, not cured. Do u pay him? I don't. Would you pay a car mechanic who does not fix your car?

Or, I know someone with 4-F knees...he has numerous operations & procedures. None work. I tell him next time a Dr. says this cure will work-ask him for a $$ back guarantee....they still make recommendations but none put their wallet where their mouth is...he's still not cured (I don't think he can be). He would have better off asking for $$$ back guarantee and saved 100K.

Doctors....they are not scientists..they are practitioners ...

I have not paid a lot of doctors .. but I'm upfront about it at the get-go ... fix me or no cash for you, 'cause I think I'm fixable. I'm not your lab rat ... one chance to fix me..get it right or don't get paid...make me worse and get ready to pay me.

-1 to credibility for posting that.

Two entries away from an article entitled "Ebola: Accident, or engineered?", because apparently Obama is just itching for an opportunity to stick us all into FEMA camps. Gimme a break!



Thanks to Fallschirmjäger for his factual, rational input.

With all due respect Dr Paul (who is an eye doctor, not a virologist) is confusing infectious with contagious. Although usually used interchangeably, there are specialized connotations both 'infectious' and 'contagious' that are not always respected in popular use.
The very fact that it's family, friends and caregivers that are most affected only reinforces what I said, that you have to work at contacting Ebola. You need intimate contact, not casual contact. Additionally, requiring two full months to double speaks volumes about how hard it is to contract, not how easily.

Disease	Vector	R[SUB]0[/SUB] (Contagiousness)
Measles	Airborne	12-18
Pertussis	Airborne droplet	12–17
Diphtheria	Saliva	6–7
Smallpox	Airborne droplet	5–7
Polio	Fecal-oral route	5–7
Rubella	Airborne droplet	5–7
Mumps	Airborne droplet	4–7
HIV/AIDS	Sexual contact	2–5
SARS	Airborne droplet	2–5
Influenza (1918 pandemic strain)	Airborne droplet	2–3
Ebola (2014 Ebola outbreak)	Bodily fluids	1-2
Botulism	Not contagious	0

Yeah, I did notice all that when I quoted your post. :lol: Didn't think much of it though – I write tables in LaTeX all the time.

Oh, and it's BBcode, not HTML.

-1 to your own credibility for ignoring key information from the CDC, WHO, and other credible resources, all of which were properly cited and referenced.

Two entries away from an article entitled "Ebola: Accident, or engineered?", because apparently Obama is just itching for an opportunity to stick us all into FEMA camps. Gimme a break!

Hence the question mark after "engineered." It's a question for consideration. If you disagree with the premise, by all means, let fly.
