Then you should know that most of what you see in the movies is artistic license.

Still check out Polite dissent though...good for a doctor like you !

Good evening.

And forgive me....but you are not a medical doctor....because doctors do not get their medical knowledge from sci fi films.

And you would know how to prevent Ebola......but your comments show you do not.


Guy, you are the one missing the point here. Sci-fi films sometimes are pointers to the future. Do you remember Space 1999? (the popular Star Treksque series of the late 70s and early 80s) they had driverless vehicles, cloning etc. These were technologies we could only imagine @ that time, but they are here today. Cloaking devices used to be the stuff of Sci-fi, but the British and American army have already achieved significant break through in that area. Soon things like Suspended Animation will soon be applicable to human beings. Sci-fi movies are not just random flicks, they consult with experts in those fields so that fiction and reality balance each other out, whilst wowing our imagination.

Lastly, what is this thing with medical doctors and their belief that they know everything about medicine? Knowledge is dynamic and evolving and there are tons of things you do not know even in your medical profession. Humility is Wisdom.

Yes....but some of it is just plain bunkum.

Ye have to sieve the wheat from the chaff....and the website Polite dissent does it well.

And telling lies that you know all about viruses better than someone whose job it is to know viruses is wise too,abi?

You Nigerians....you always tell others to do the corrections you could benefit from.

Your patron lied about knowing viruses.....even to the point of claiming viruses cause zombies (which is a scientific impossibility....).And when challenged....lied about his being a doctor.

If someone needs correcting...it is the two of you.

Good am....and learn your science from the experts....not from filmmakers who know zilch about actual science.

forgive me, but what caught my attention is your notion that nothing in Sci-fi is unattainable, I found the idea of the nano silver thing ludicrous and if anyone is claiming to know everything about viruses, it's definitely not me. Comprehende?

Not that nothing in sci fi is unattainable....but that much of it is built on unproven assertions.

There is no such thing as intelligent eldritch creatures on Mars....and Ctullhu is a myth.

Good am to you.

At the bold part.

Please don't start unnecessary arguments. No one yet on this thread has said there's life on mars and no one is arguing with you that everything u see on a sci fi movie is attainable. But some are what that can be attained or done in the future.

Widen ur knowledge by watching some sci fi.

Uganda has had six ebola epidemics since 2000.

And they went from 200 deaths in the 2000 epidemic....to just 5 deaths in the 2012 epidemic....by simple preventive health measures.(and by carrying the local communities in the affected areas along).

And they still did not legalise gay marriage!
Ebola in the year 2000?

Oui monsieur. wink......and in Gabon, Congo and Central African repubic.

The 2000 Ugandan epidemic is special to me because it was the second time I was hearing about Ebola.....and also because of the heorics of the Ugandan doctor Matthew Lukwiya(great man)
