Exactly thank you for proving our point. Although vaccinations do take time, you have CLEARLY stated that they are being "tested" and according to the Washington Post they are only tested on ANIMALS. When will they be tested on humans and actually be secure so we can get protected? The Influenza vaccine only takes about 7 months, tested on humans why cant ebola?

Alright. So there are two sides to every debate, proposition and opposition. Proposition is for the argument, while the opposition is against it.
For every debate, you need four arguments. For these every arguments, you need a reasoning, evidence to back it up, and the impact. In other words..
A
R
E
I
A, which stands for argument, is a point you want to make. It relates to the overall topic and is the basis for REI.
R, which stands for reasoning, is the reason to why you believe your argument to be true. It explains the reason why you're right, and why this point is important.
E, which stands for evidence, is where you put evidence. It can be anything, as long as it has something to do with your argument, backs up your argument, and shows why your point is important. Statistics are the best, but cannot always be used.
And I, which stands for impact, is where you put the impact of your argument. What will happen if this is put into effect? What will happen if this isn't put into effect? How will this change what is already being done? Also, similar to your R, it should explain slightly why the point is important. -
Okay.
I somewhat understand.

This is the first argument I presented.
A1. Our first argument is we've sent military to help train people to treat/contain Ebola patients.
R1. My reasoning for this is the U.S. has sent military assistance to places that have had many cases of Ebola or are in danger of getting such cases. These people have been trained and know what to do if someone has Ebola or if they are in danger themselves of getting it. They know what they're doing and are prepared to do what it takes to protect the people.
E1. My evidence for this is according to General David M. Rodriguez on October 7th, 2014, "Recently, I discussed the progress of the response with the president, who underscored the pivotal role of American leadership in containing the epidemic at its source. In support of U.S. government effort, the military focus is on providing logistics, training, and engineering support in conjunction with the greater inter agency effort. We stood up the headquarters, joint force command, United Assistance in Monrovia, Liberia, to provide regional coordination of U.S. military support to the U.S. and international relief efforts. Finally, we placed two additional mobile medical labs into operation last week, significantly increasing the capacity for rapidly diagnosing Ebola. We are also establishing a facility capable of training healthcare support workers, enabling health care workers to safely provide direct medical care to patients. Now, this is very important, and I want you to help us to tell our families and the American public the health and safety of the team supporting this mission is our priority. Let me assure you, by providing pre-deployment training, adhering to strict medical protocols while deployed, and carrying out carefully planned reintegration measures based on risk and exposure, I am confident that we can ensure our service members' safety and the safety of their families and the American people."
I1. The impact to this argument is we already have people that are being trained as we speak to help the fight against Ebola. The U.S. has done a lot, to be risking lives of military men to help fight Ebola. We, the U.S., have people risking their lives to help. The proposition shouldn't say we aren't doing enough when we are. -
Please let me know, if you guys are ready :)
