Some human rights advocates objected to the search and quarantine aspects of the program. Later, some critics claimed that physicians used coercion to ensure vaccination of quarantined individuals.

So grasshoppers are one of their favorite items, so to speak.
And they catch these pretty large grasshoppers sometimes. And the way they do it, the way they handle it once they grab it, is they hold it by the bottom with the head up. And then they bite off the head kind of like an ice cream cone. And then they slurp the insides. So these are nests that hang pretty low. So this was recorded in captivity.
And what it sounds like, to me, is that these are contract calls. But these are made by animals that are not very close by. These are longer contact calls. Is that right? But just from studying there for 18 years, from being with the monkeys, you just get used to it.
It probably took me the whole 12 months to figure out what the different vocalizations were. And he knows everything about squirrel monkeys. And the idea here is that you can try to understand the evolution of human language. So the idea is that humans started living in social groups that were increasingly large. And that would leave the hands also free for other tasks. And the idea is that that eventually would have evolved into human language. We expect primates all to do that.
They, too, live in social groups that are large. And they talk all the time. Are they sort of the pacifist compared to some of the more litigious primates, like chimps, who are actually out there being aggressive all the time?
So the groups are large. So they can be overlap in areas, home ranges, for two or three groups. But when they meet, they pretty much just go their separate ways. Infected Langerhans cells can certainly produce virus that infects other cells and tissues. Sweat may be able to do that, but very late in infection.
Hatfill is right in at least one area, that we need to fight these outbreaks at their source. Ideally we would stamp them out quickly, like the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Nigeria seem to have done with their Ebola outbreaks in the last few months.
Should we then give up? Yet Hatfill undermines his own insistence that we do this by suggesting that the 4, troops we are sending to fight this epidemic are at risk of contracting Ebola from bats themselves. Evidence that fruit bats harbor Ebola virus has mounted in recent years, with the most prominent study finding evidence of infection in three species of bat. The percentage of bats with evidence of infection varied considerably, making it unclear exactly how prevalent the virus is in the bats.
Overwhelmingly, though, Ebola outbreaks have been linked to the handling of wild-game carcasses, such as bat, gorilla, duiker, or chimpanzee. The current epidemic began with a 2-year-old child , likely infected by touching an infected bat carcass. American soldiers are unlikely to engage in any of these high-risk behaviors, nor will they be in areas of high bat density.
Ultimately this Ebola outbreak, as even Hatfill acknowledges, will end—though with many more dead than we would have ever imagined.
In the aftermath we will learn more about Ebola virus than we know now and use this to ready ourselves for its next appearance.
