Alabama Disease Expert Calls Western Nations Response To Ebola Outbreak as "Outrageous"

Oct 23, 2014, 11:53 PM

Dr. Michael B.A. Oldstone, the head of the Viral-Immunobiology Laboratory at the Scripps Research Institute and an University of Alabama adjunct professor called the initial response of Western nations to the Ebola crisis as being weak and "outrageous." He also also blamed President Barack Obama and the Republican controlled Congress for not fully funding the National Institute of Health; something that Oldstone thinks has limited the response to the spread of the disease.
