Bye-Bye Ebola?

While the rest of the media are flipping out about a German actor running for governor, real news, as always, is getting ignored:

Government scientists have developed a new vaccine against the dread Ebola virus that works rapidly after a single injection, an unexpected success that means the nation could soon have a defense against one of the most fearsome weapons in the terrorist arsenal.

See? Sometimes your tax dollars really do work.

Read the article a little more closely. Testing has only been done on a small number of monkeys. I believe there are several different strains of Ebola and each would most probably have to have a vaccine specific to it. Butit is a big step in the right direction hopefully.
