    But Ebola (virus) only has RNA, no DNA.

    I would suggest making a mene with a virus that has a DNA genome … (eg hepatitis virus)
    … or just use RNA (“RiboNucleic Acid”) as the example, humans need it just as much to function as DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid”).

    (But sure, Ebola needs our DNA in the sense that otherwise we wouldn’t be alive. But so do nuclear weapons in order to kill humans.)

      For me, the fact that Ebola is an RNA virus made the meme more absurd and funny, in a “cut off your note to spite your face” way

    You can’t have deoxyribonucleic acid without dihydrogen monoxide. 100% of people who have ever come in contact with it have died!

      No no, “will die”. Ie 100% fatality rate for all who come in touch with it.

      I don’t know about you, but I’m still alive, some would argue. Physically at least.

          I don’t think you can make a person without it, so having one which has never been in contact with it would be quite a challenge.
