The EMBARASSING "Elephant in the room" may be that even though he may have been QUITE ILL, He may not have had EBOLA itself. They may have evacuated him for proper hospital care, NOT that they REALLY thought he actually had Ebola. BUT, getting him out was made easier by asserting that he MAY have Ebola. BUT the "He may have Ebola" story quickly took on a life of it's own and it was better, LESS EMBARRASSING to say he was cured from EBola rather than that he actually had some OTHER ILLNESS.
OF course, It SURE PROMOTES AN AFRICAN'S WILLINGNESS TO BE "GUINEA PIGS" FOR NEW, EXPERIMENTAL, UNTESTED VACCINES when the Blacks THINK it cured an American doctor, (who may have gotten the vaccine, but may have never had the disease, GETS "CURED".
That vaccine didn't help the Spanish priest WHO REALLY DID HAVE EBOLA.
