Methink the medical experts should be armed b4 going on such expendition

onoja12: Some times i laugh,who is misinformed,is it the villagers who are on the ground wearing the shoe or you who is listening to western media.
that's not the first village,different villages in different countries have made it clear that its the white guys infecting them with this virus and you people are here saying they are ignorant,abeg the villagers are only defending themselves the only way they know how,from wicked,greedy,selfish and heartless capitalist.
we can still remember how they where infecting people in Libya with HIV before Gaddafi arrested them,we can remember how the where injecting sicknesses into our kids in Kano and the list goes on,so i think its you guys that are ignorant not them

O Jo gate, ko Jo gate, o fi ESE mejeeji tiro.....

Datis people no dey sleep again for nairaland?
oga seun we need button o.

Mobsync:
There could be a link. And even if there isn't, people believe there is. Past records speak against the white.s

Well the same 'whites' also give many African countries a lot of support and aid but I guess some only focus on 1 thing ...

These Guinea village people sef. The villages should be left alone to fend for themselves. RIP to the health workers.

poiZon: Datis people no dey sleep again for nairaland?

bros, NL is 24 x 7 and global .... there are even some nairalanders posting from North Korea

I can see the reason why they don't need our help....Lagos

Kayraph: People are kinda wicked in this world. How could you kill people who are ready to help you escape from death?

Smh...

Makes me wonder too ... Africa Oh Africa .....

Thanks to US anyway for sending troops and commiting $1b !

\
Stop helping Africans.... Let them help themselves.

After all the brouhaha about Ebola, people were cured without the Zmap.

Nigeria looked inward and found a solution.

That s what it should be instead of relying on aid from a group whose allegiance is difficult to ascertain.

Ignorant is a disease!

May the souls of the departed RIP.

Black people proving they are mentally inferior since dawn of tym..fucking nigros

hahahahaha...no be only north korea, na pluto

Y?

the real ignorant people are the commenters here who rely on western media, remember nurses injected HIV virus to babies in Libya, Virus infested condoms were distributed in Mozambique, dieseases were injected to kids in Kano etc... even after our health ministry confirms we have no more case of ebola the western media still counts nigeria as ebola-country, why?
Seems like sending troops was the original plan, sugar-coated with $1billion aid, their greatest mistake was sending patrick sawyer to nigeria, boko haram might have worked for them but the ebola game never worked, the way nigeria handled ebola without western aid and western drugs was an eye-opener for others, i am not in support of the killings but i dont blame the villagers.

You are a re.tard. I'm short of words to use to describe you. You shouldn't even have access to the internet.

See olodos, no brainers, killing people on a good course, people with good intention, that wants to help.. What a shame!

Ha!...wetin dey do dos pple.

Silverstars: This is interesting. I'm sure most of you who commented above have not read the entire article. Aid workers were killed in Guinea and the United States is sending in troops. What exactly are troops going to do in a country ravaged by a deadly disease? The US is bent on establishing Africom and since Nigeria has vehemently rejected it, they are shopping for alternatives.

The American troops will be building a field hospital, and setting up supplies....and they include doctors who will be helping to care for the Liberian ebola patients.

No sinister plot here. Liberia's health care system is overwhelmed.

And the Army is being sent because they can build a grade A health facility in record time.

France too is also sending some military help.

As for the Guineans being killed...[url=http://www.care2.com/greenliving/deadly-ebola-being-fueled-by-conspiracy-theories-rumor.html#ixzz3DpneEPBT

Second, as Professor Shepler reasonably points out:

When someone has the symptoms—fever, vomiting, diarrhea—they are supposed to report to the health center, where they will be taken away from family, and if they die, be buried by men in protective gear with no family present. You can see why people might be loath to turn over their loved ones. Really who among us would want to turn a sick loved one over to a hospital staffed with foreigners, knowing we might never see them again?

Even patients who are admitted to a health facility are sometimes later freed by anxious relatives. On Facebook, Sierra Leone’s special assistant to the President, Dr. Slyvia Blyden, describes one such case:

Esteemed members of SIERRA LEONE ISSUES… Tonight, credible reports are that a suspected Ebola patient has escaped from Isolation at PCMH Cottage [Hospital], Fourah Bay Rd. in Freetown with help of her friends and family. She was reportedly admitted in isolation whilst waiting for her test results from Ebola lab in Kenema. Well, to cut a long story short, she was forcibly removed from the Isolation room and then, was put onboard an okada motorbike and whisked off to her residence somewhere in Freetown. One of the nurses on duty was seriously slapped for attempting to stop the escape.

Indeed, this reaction is completely understandable based on the fact that the Ebola victims taken away by outsiders are rarely seen again alive – or even dead. No body is returned to the family for customary burial due to the virulent nature of the disease. Loved ones just disappear. Not surprisingly, when people just disappear, rumors and conspiracy theories rapidly appear. It certainly does not help that those escorting (sometimes forcefully) loved ones away are often foreigners and covered head-to-toe in otherworldly space gear.

Recently, an angry mob numbering thousands gathered outside one of the the main Ebola treatment hospitals in Sierra Leone, threatening to burn it down and remove the patients. According to Reuters, “the protest was sparked by a former nurse who had told a crowd at a nearby fish market that Ebola was unreal and a gimmick aimed at carrying out cannibalistic rituals.” Police were forced to use tear gas to disperse the crowds.

Relatives of the ill think they are doing the right thing and it is extremely difficult to tell them otherwise. Especially, when rumors like cannibalism are spreading faster than the virus itself. However, trying to treat a relative stricken by the Ebola virus is like Russian roulette – you may or may not come out alive. This is one reason why the disease is spreading so fast.

Professor Shepler says it is not just the uneducated who mistrust their government and health care workers. She describes a conspiracy theory she heard from an educated friend in Sierra Leone:

A friend recounted a story that in one of the poor neighborhoods some group was giving vaccinations against Ebola (“But there is no vaccine,” I protest. “Doesn’t matter. People don’t know that,” he replies.) He says two babies died almost immediately after receiving the shots, and the medical team vanished afterwards, now no one knows who gave the shots. “Someone must have been poisoning the children to make it look like more Ebola deaths!” This is an unsubstantiated rumor, but the important thing is how the rumor was spread by average, even well educated, people like my friend. He said that people think it is someone in or near the government who is getting rich off of the money that is coming into the country to battle the epidemic, and wants the situation to continue to look dire.

When I sounded doubtful, my friend gave further evidence. He told me that the Chief Accountant at the Ministry of Health was preparing to make a report to the donors of how all the Ebola response money given to the government had been spent so far. The evening before the presentation he was badly beaten by thugs, and they took all the paperwork away from him and nothing else. Clearly, my friend argued, someone has something to hide!

Government officials getting rich off the aid pouring in from around the world is just one of the theories circulating among West African communities. Other rumors and conspiracy theories include:

The disease itself was brought to Africa by white foreigners.
Organs are being stolen from the dying and deceased to be sold on the international market.
Ebola is a bioweapon being spread through water.
Ebola is not a virus, but witchcraft.
A multi-national pharmaceutical company has created a new strain of Ebola in order to financially benefit from the magic bullet cure they have also created.
Corpses are being wrapped in plastic bags unseen to the public because body parts have been removed for witchcraft.
Doctors are intentionally infecting West Africans with the virus so they can test experimental drugs on unsuspecting victims.
Ebola is really caused by an evil snake that if you look at it, you will die (before you scoff, the virus magnified really does look snake-like – see below).

See the problem

Since they don't need help, let them all die there.


Guinea disgracing black race since 274BC

if obj had allow them to establish africom then boko haram would have been defeated

Uganda is already on ground helping with Liberia....the Ugandans have good experience in fighting Ebola...even to the extent of reducing fatalities from 200 12 years ago to 5 in 2012.(The chap who is in charge of Uganda's Ebola action is now in charge of the WHO effort in Liberia against Ebola.).

The US Army unit sent in is the Corps of Engineers...who are going to be setting up a temporary grade A health care facility....and who will be bringing in supplies, doctors, etc...to help with Liberia's already overwhelmed health care system.

No plot here.

Kayraph: People are kinda wicked in this world. How could you kill people who are ready to help you escape from death?

Smh...

infact africans hv one kind mumu brain,stil wonderin why did dey kil dem.

Mobsync: Most of these prople believe ebola was a white man invention, probably for biological weapons. And I don't blame them. Past records are against the whites. Remember when a pharmateucal company used children for experiment in Kano some years back.

Kano. 50 said to be killed though Pfizer said it was only 11.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6768799.stm

And Pfizer coughed up compensation, remember.? Hefty compensation because they did not observe ethics.

Medical experimentation in Africa (wikipedia)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_experimentation_in_Africa

Again, an example of what happens when ethics are not observed....and some of these tests are done by Africans too....the Virodene cure for AIDS in SA for example.

Ah! What a wicked world.... So this is the fate of people who deemed it important to help fight this deadly Ebola disease.

Its a pity; but blacks will always be bLaCk

Government need to give enough information to the people.

Smh... What is wrong with people?!
