Hard for me to believe that budget cuts are why we don’t have an Ebola vaccine, as Collins says. Until now, it wasn’t a priority item.

The official Vox stance remains to be seen.
@NathanWurtzel Funny how it's such a novel thought for her. Is it that hard to believe that gov't spending more isn't the answer?

For many, more government spending is always the answer.
