More evil blather from John Ashton. This guy is in charge of UK public health? http://www.donotlink.com/b1bz
"...they refuse to...because the numbers involved are, in their terms, so small and don't justify the investment." Bullshit. Outright lying.

To repeat: before this year's outbreak, the highest yearly death toll from ebola was 280. Many years it's been zero. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ebola_outbreaks …

Also? There are at least two ebola treatments that have been in development already. http://www.vox.com/2014/8/3/5962381/ebola-outbreak-vaccine-fda-halted-trials/in/5712456 …

Meanwhile, malaria still kills about 600,000 people a year. That's over 300 times as many as ebola has killed in *recorded history*.

Who does malaria kill? Brown people. It's extinct in Europe and North America. Who invests billions in malaria research & control? The west.

Bill Gates' foundation by itself has donated $1.3 BILLION to fight AIDS, TB and malaria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gates_Foundation#Global_Health_Division …

John Ashton says "This is the moral bankruptcy of capitalism acting in the absence of an ethical and social framework."

Capitalism isn't the lying asshole here. Pompous lefty self-righteous bastards like John Ashton and his publishers at The Independent are.

Usually I can point and laugh at leftist keyboard crusaders but this kind of lying bullshit makes me genuinely angry.

Ebola does NOT need to be prioritized. This fact does not reflect racism. Ebola DOES get attention. Malaria, TB, AIDS get, & deserve, more.
