I didn't see any bullshit. ZF (whom I must not name) correctly pointed out that due to herd immunity a vaccine can prevent disease outbreaks even if it is far less than 100% effective. The key is that it must reduce the transmission mulitiplier to something less than 1. (The multiplier is how many previously disease-free people a given sick person infects on average.)

And as ZF pointed out there are several Ebola vaccines under development, some in clinical trials, unlike Ebolacide (or any other drug developed by NNVC).

It is true that even if a disease has a vaccine it is still useful to have a treatment for it because some people will still catch the disease. However you're kidding yourself if you think that a vaccine doesn't drastically shrink the market for the cure. There's a reason NNVC didn't make Measlescide a priority.
