One Myth About Ebola That Needs To Be Debunked

Paul Stoffels, chief scientific officer of Johnson & Johnson, said there's one major myth about Ebola that needs to be debunked.

"One of the misconceptions is that Ebola is only really transmitted when you really touch a patient," Stoffels said. "It's not that transmittable."

Stoffels said Johnson & Johnson is working with different partners on an effort to get out into the field and fight Ebola. He said the company has been working since 2008 on an Ebola vaccine, when the virus was far less wide-spread but considered a potential threat of bioterrorism.
