Some U.S. citizens have entered the country with the Ebola virus and have lived to walk out of hospitals healthy and happy in the arms of their friends and family. They even have regained the strength to participate in press conferences and daytime interview programs. Thomas Duncan was not so lucky! Was his treatment different from the others? Was he given the same drugs as the U.S. citizens? Was he used instead as a human guinea pig to test different medications to determine their outcomes? Certainly, all the necessary life saving drugs will be used on American citizens infected with the Ebola virus to save their lives. There is too much at stake and backlash if these lives were not saved. However, an African dying in the U.S. will attract little or no attention as was Mr. Duncan's case. In fact, on the update of this writing it has been a week since Mr. Duncan's death and he is already forgotten! This medical situation is a reminder of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment.
What's up with dat?
