That's an impressive story. It takes some big ones hanging there (yes, even for a chick) to mess with Ebola in a Biolevel suite, but it takes giant ones to inject yourself with an unknown, untested, totally experimental vaccine.

No other way around this, morally.


Read "The Hot Zone" and, to a lesser extent, "Demon in the Freezer" by Richard Preston. Non-fiction documentaries on the Ebola fight, and the time that it almost broke loose in the US.
