Would you get vaccinated against ebola?

Suppose a safe, effective vaccine is developed and made available for $100.00 per vaccination? Suppose further that the ebola situation is no different than today, mostly contained in West Africa, though epidemic, with a few cases springing up here and there in the industrialized countries.

Would you get vaccinated?
with situation as it stands no I wouldn't waste money

If situation worsens then yeah I'd happily take it

If 100k people had taken it with no bad side effects reported, yeah I'd take it.

But only if the infection breaks out.


Speaking of immunity to Ebola, the aid workers who have contracted Ebola and survived, why aren't we paying them a hell of a lot of money to go back over there and help?

They should be immune to it.

what if 1 out of the 100k got ebola and died?

That's why I said that. I don't think my chances of getting Ebola are very high at present.

Flu vaccines sometimes give you the flu.

I would hope lots of others were getting the Ebola vaccine would keep any breakout from happening.

But to directly answer your question (if 1 in 100k vaccine recipients caught Ebola and died) I would still get it. I figure that many probably die in the car ride to get the shot.

But if it broke out like the bubonic plague, and it killed 1/100 people I'd happily take it.

They're only immune to that strain of ebola. Not all need paying huge amounts to go back

British nurse who survived Ebola returns to Sierra Leone to treat patients and says he is 'delighted' to be there

I think Ebola will be too good of crisis to not be used by the Plantation owners.

Who made Ebola and who will benefit from it are good questions that people might consider asking. Patents on the cure? Who holds that?

I don't think I'll be taking any magic pills, until I have an answer to the questions posed above.

The OP's hypothetical cost for the vaccination is $100. I'd rather have that much more in grow supplies.
If Eobola was in my State? Hell yes.

If they had it, I would take it for
West Nile
MRSA
Hunta
etc

I have no fear of inoculation.

Damn it, Doer. You made sense there. I agree with you. I would like to be immunized for all those things too.

I would happily spend $100 today for an ebola immunization shot. Not because I think "ebola goana git me", but because the consequence of infection is very, very bad while the cost (money, inconvenience) is small.

I get a flu shot every year for the same reason.

No, my opposition to needles outweighs my fear of catching ebola
