In other words, will be inaccessible to the public unless they have millions.

Well we're 98% there so hopefully that 2 percent that separates us doesn't get in the way. With Ebola becoming a rising threat in Africa we need badly to contain the HIV epidemic. The less diseases for us humans to deal with - the better.

Ebola is on a rampage in West Africa. In Liberia, emergency workers are refusing to care for victims and dogs are eating bodies that at being abandoned.
AIDS remains a pandemic, especially in Africa where medical care is still far below the standards of the U. S. and Europe.
If an earth-depopulating virus gets started, I think Africa will be the point of origin.

This will happen at some point relatively soon due to rapid population growth.
The planet is going to thin us out to achieve balance.

Africa is like a petri dish of every fricked up thing ever.

Yeah, AIDS is far more entrenched than most people think. Some 40,000,000 people are still infected, the vast majority of them straight Africans. It's a major killer in the world. We've lost interest in it largely because our society has a short attention span.
Ebola will kill an incredible number of people because it's in Africa and not as interesting as it wold be if in, say, North America, Europe or Asia.

Good for you. That's never a good reaction.

Yep. Ebola struck close to home for me and if anyone thinks it won't get out know that if it hits high levels in the major cities in W. Africa badly - they're sorely mistaken. One of the docs evac'd was transported home to E. TN by the CDC - not only their private plane but private direct car/truck sealed for this sort of thing drove him home (which had been sealed/prepared before his arrival). He worked with the American doc who died and another American the CDC took to Emory. Thankfully, he tested clean but he was still under stringent quarantine during the incubation period.
But if Ebola really takes off in the cities - modern travel and the early symptoms that don't scream "Ebola!" will spread that shite all over the West. So far we've been lucky.
And yes, just as human life started in Africa our demise may also originate there. What's particularly scary to me about Ebola is that the CDC is in Hotlanta and with the way the virus spreads (it can spread via contact with sweat) the American South would also be a great home for it - (much like Kudzu found a rich home here as did a bounty of non-indigenous tropical snakes and other creatures that are displacing our native wildlife) only instead of overgrowing us or posing a problem to our native reptiles and animals, Ebola kills horrifically.
The world absolutely can't ignore it. We do so at our own peril.

Do the development of vaccines like this or any other, alter darwinism?

"Far below" doesn't even begin to describe how much worse it is there.

We've lost interest here because it isn't a problem unless you're gay.

That's because if they don't die from crazy disease they'll either get shot by guerrilla militants or eaten by a lion. They're fricked any way you look at it.

Good thing we evolved from monkeys, or this would be pointless.
