Let The Truth Be Told

   Have no fear my fellow Americans don’t believe your hype, we are not in any danger of an Ebola epidemic. It is sad to see how the US government is using fear as a tactic to win votes in an election. It is ridiculous to think that we could scoop to such extreme measures to win a vote. The United states has failed to truly inform Americans about the facts regarding Ebola.

   The truth is that Ebola is a virus that only becomes highly contagious after it has been within its host for an extended period of time. also that by the time the virus becomes contagious it has weakened its host so much so that they are either hospitalized or bed bound. Which is the reason why the people at greatest risk of contracting ebola are hospital workers and immediate family members.

   These facts are known by the US but are withheld to instill fear in Americans. Politicians know that once fear is established it will cause us to panic. After we panic we then have to find someone to blame for the problem. Lastly, after the person is blamed, they have to be replaced with someone who either has a proposed solution to the problem or sells us the idea they can prevent the problem from ever reoccurring again. The person will most likely boost research funding to find a cure, and indeed a cure probably will be found. This will happen not because researchers have the extra funds, but because now there is a lot of money to be made by the vaccine. Money and the profits you can make off certain cures plays an important role in research, which another fact that will not be mentioned to the public.

    The reality is that out of over three hundred and sixteen million people in America there has only been six confirmed cases. Which alone should let us know we are doing a good job containing the virus and we are not in any immanent danger.
