Health Care

Somebody is finally questioning the ethics behind who gets the experimental Ebola drug, Americans and a Spaniard, and who doesn't, Africans. No one has yet opened the bigger ethical question regarding who gets any experimental drug.

Spanish priest treated with the experimental drug dies of Ebola.
"Earlier reports had said that the 75-year old Pajares was to be treated with ZMapp, an untested drug being used in the treatment of two Americans infected with the virus. The Spanish drug safety agency had said that the government chose to make an "exceptional importation" of ZMapp because the patient could not be "treated satisfactorily with an authorized medication.""
That was nice of them. Too bad he died anyway.

West African countries shut borders in attempt to contain the disease that Obama intentionally brought into the US.
