Stupid bitch would be advocating for ebola parties if there was a vaccine for it.

I'm pretty sure they did recently develop a vaccine for Ebola that they are trying to distribute in the affected areas of Africa, but I'm afraid that US governmental funding, the WHO, and American-based NGOs were involved, so who knows if the money exists for the manufacturing and distribution anymore.

Quick, somebody make ~~a placebo~~ an "ebola vaccine" and convince Republican politicians that they're not true Trump supporters unless they have an Ebola Party at the RNC.
