Clever strategy Dr. Muyembe set out on his path to an Ebola treatment during the 1995 outbreak. He transferred blood from five survivors to eight patients, hoping that the antibodies that kept some people alive would keep others from dying. Seven of the patients who received the blood transfusion recovered.
I wonder what an Ethics Review Board would have to say about this...

Well lets see? It had a 90% death rate as a disease I would gladly give, receive or beg for it for myself or my child.

This seems similar to an old technique, 'inoculation', which predates vaccination and was used with some success to protect against smallpox. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inoculation

Thanks! By the way, if somebody happens to know a Python (or whatever) library/example which can do a job similar to what Outline does extracting and tidying pure content from a web page - let me know please. I don't plan any mass-scraping, just want to save some stuff for myself for offline reading.
