No wonder they are making no progress containgin the outbreak - their Doctors are MORONS! Antibiotics do nothing against viruses, they are only effective against bactriological infections, and even that magic bullet is beginning to misfire... |

If its resistant to the crap they make in a lab then may be worth looking at natural alternative s. Scary. And I don't think adding yet another immunization to a poor infants body is the go- how much crap are they going to pump into them? It doesn't make sense to do that. Its too much already. |
