Well…now that there have been a few cases of Ebola here in the US, the repubs are screaming their heads off the government should be doing more to combat it and it is all Obama’s fault, etc. etc…..but, the real problem has been revealed by the head of the NIH in an interview this week. The NIH has been working on a vaccine for years now, and for other treatments for people who have already contacted the disease but, since the repubs don’t think government can or should do anything, they cut the budget for the NIH and other health programs to give tax cuts to the rich and corporations, saying that the private sector is the better place for this kind of research to happen. But, what these idiots don’t understand is that the private sector won’t do anything that doesn’t make them huge profits…but, since Ebola is not a disease that will affect millions, and it mostly happens in poor African countries, there is no profit so there is no research. So, if there is a huge outbreak here in the US, go and thank a repub…their budget cuts have put the vaccine more than two years out and that means they are responsible for any deaths that happen…this is the real world face of repub austerity and tax cuts…what a bunch of asses…geez…
