Why are some on this site comparing the two diseases?
First you slandered a Purdue scientist's statement and now you are doint the same to me. I didn't compare HIV to Ebola. Your Purdue scientist said non-airborne viruses (like Ebola) could potentially, someday mutate and become airborne. Based on this statement you then lied to the people on this board by telling them Ebola could be transmitted via air.
I simply pointed out that you in fact lied...because you did....and the chances of Ebola becoming airborne are the same as HIV doing the same.
