I was curious about the ebola crisis. I looked up how deadly the other diseases were that we are forced to take vaccinations for. I think this will make you sit up and think. Small pox at its worst killed 30% of those infected. Cholera was notorious killing 100,000 in 3 million which comes out to one in 30. The influenza plague of the early 19th century killed up to 20% as opposed to the usual flu epidemic mortality rate of 0.1% Typhoid causes 10 to 30% deaths of untreated cases. TB hits those of weakened immune systems. 1 in 3 people get infected but only 10% of those develop into the disease , which now has treatment and cure if caught in time. Last I looked, ebola has a 50% fatality rate. That is higher than any of the earlier pandemics that has hit civilizations that we know. I noticed in reading about the influenza that of the countries hardest hit one small country set up quarantine and did not allow infected persons to come through their borders. They went almost unscathed while their neighbors suffered terribly. I am not trying to unduly scare anyone. I think everyone should take care so this virus does not keep spreading unchecked as it is presently. I looked up these by typing in how deadly is... Feel free to do it your self. I think everyone should take practical precautions to keep healthy and protect their families health.
