Washington - US President
Barack Obama said on
Wednesday it is "premature"
to send experimental drugs for
the treatment of Ebola to West
Africa, which has been hardest hit by the deadly outbreak. Obama said affected countries
should focus on building a
"strong public infrastructure",
adding: "I think we have to let
the science guide us... I don't
think all the information is in on whether this drug is
helpful." He emphasized that Ebola, a
hemorrhagic virus that kills
more than half of those
infected, "is not an airborne
disease.

Why the delay? Is it when they die all?
They say the colonialist
conquered Africa by the means
of gunpowder from Arabia/
Asia and germs. Hygiene was
not a virtue in Europe. The
Queen of England is famed to have said she only had a bath
once a month, “whether she
needed it or not.” King James’
custom was to have his bath
only once a year. [Ref] So it was in Europe. A bathroom was not a natural
property of a home and till
date, we find in England that
bathrooms are recent
extensions of many homes,
being added later. The relevance of this is the
relationship between moral
hygiene and disease. Europe
had the worst plagues in
recent human history. The
Bubonic plagues... the plagues in the dark eras. These plagues
wiped out much of the
population of Europe, most
especially its men; indeed it
was plagues and wars that led
to the feminist culture and women in the work
environment, because with
the death of so many workers,
women were forced to work
to assist the European
economy. The plagues were directly related to filth in
Europe. The colonialist picked
up soap and bathing habits
from his exploits to Africa, the
Middle East and Asia. Fast-forward to 2014. Africa is
plagued by HIV and plagued
today by Ebola. Africa has
become the bastion of sorry
health problems in addition to
other inabilities. What is the commonly attributed source of
Ebola (if we deny any
biological warfare intentional
dissemination), it is from bush
meat. In Africa many of us love
to eat these wild animals. Baboons, Gorilla’s, snakes and
what have you. Nothing will
stop us from biting in to the
juicy strands of these animals,
spicily roasted. And these
animals remain the reservoir of Ebola.When we study HIV, we see
similar simple cultural
behaviors that can diminish
HIV rates in Africa.
Circumcision which is not only
a monotheistic habit in Judea- Christianity and Islam but
dates back to Kemetic
practices of ancient Nubian
Egypt; this simple practice of
cutting off the foreskin of the
male penis reduces the risk of HIV infection by as much as
60% from scientific studies.
The cheapest methods of
eliminating health problems is
prevention. And much
invaluable prevention is in religious and cultural doctrine. In the western world today,
they have invested in
perfecting expensive methods
of curtailing outbreaks and
treating diseases. To Africa’s
shame, our leaders have been hopeless; hopelessly
embezzling all the capital that
African states should have
used to advance its health-care
system; and while they have
spent time dancing and swallowing billions of dollars
for the state, diseases, crime,
terror and other crises have
not waited but have advanced
as much as modern innovation
has permitted. While African leaders today do elaborate
opening ceremonies when
they build ordinary roads and
establish train networks, the
world has advanced in leaps
and bounds in disease management and also in type
of deadly germs.

he can say that from d comfort of white house

if he was living close to Yaba hospital he will certainly have a diff opinion

abeg release d drugs jare

what other options do we have in 9ja?

Nonsense!!!

Yet it is not too early to use it on US citizens where remarkable improvement has been recorded.

Even if d drug fails eventually what has an Ebola victim got to lose? Give dem d damn drugs already!

Afrocatalyst didn't i tell you that they wont say no directly

overhypedsteve: Afrocatalyst didn't i tell you that they wont say no directly

lol. You said it o. This people are funny o. So theirs is good to save with experimental drugs but ours should die outrightly. Na wa o.

Racist

Abok1:
I think the US government is only being careful, because of past experiences

I beg to disagree; it was not too early to give to the Americans, so why the" too early" excuse.

These people are going to die anyway, so giving it to them is zero risk. And there is a big chance it may save lives wince the American doctor who received the drug seem to be doing fine for now.
