..if I may and if you want facts: Its a fact that flipped-PS exists with Ebola and a combination treatment along with a PS Targeting drug could be effective.

Its a fact that in 2014 there have been more Ebola deaths than since all prior years COMBINED since its been first discovered back in the late 1970's near the Ebola River

yes.. named after Ebola River ... no such thing as Ebola Tribe : )

so there is no way in hell you can compare it to auto/car deaths

But Ebola, for all its evils, could actually be a whole lot worse. On 26 August 1976, a 44-year-old teacher appeared at Yambuku Mission Hospital in Zaire (now called the Democratic Republic of the Congo) with a fever and what he thought was malaria, and received an injection of the antimalarial drug chloroquine. At the time, the hospital had 120 beds and a medical staff of 17, and ran a clinic that treated 6,000 to 12,000 people monthly. Each morning, administrators issued five syringes and needles to the nursing staff, to be used in the outpatient department, the prenatal clinic and the inpatient wards. According to a report from the WHO, "syringes and needles were apparently not sterilised between their use on different patients but rinsed in a pan of warm water. At the end of the day they were sometimes boiled".

After the injection, the man's fever resolved quickly. On 1 September, it came back. He was admitted to the hospital four days later with gastrointestinal bleeding and died three days after that. By the end of September, when the hospital closed, 11 of its 17 staff members were dead.
