Hi,
I might just have to research this whole topic some more.

Quote:Pure conjecture, but this assumption could be false. I could see it as possible that a virus like ebola is so deadly because it does not trigger the right immune response. It may trigger the wrong response or too weak of a response. If this is the case then a vaccine could be developed that when injected triggers the correct response or a stronger response. No idea what the actual case is, but this seems like a reasonable theory to me.Interesting idea. Don't know about Ebola, but it does remind me of something I read about the difficulty of treating HIV/AIDS. Because they attack the immune system, the defender becomes the target and cannot defend the remainder of the body.
