Harry should have trusted Ramirez

I can only go with the text. I've cited chapter and verse to support my position and as such that is all I can do.

I appreciate that, we are just reading it differently is all. That is what this board is about different opinions about what we are reading. ;)
Mab isn't wrong as far as love killing as many as hate, it has and does. I need to see the quote in context because I don't think it applies to Maeve and Molly in terms of the "same horse in this case, since Maeve was mentally disturbed, then infected and became more insane, while Molly is not.
Conspiracy Theorist:
I think maybe Maeve welcomed the infection, it allowed her to lie despite the Mantle, and act against it.
Nemesis can only be in so many places at once. What if Mab didn’t cure Lea, but Nemesis voluntarily left Lea for a more willing vessel? Maeve. What if Mab knew this? She just tortured Lea until Nemesis moved to the host she wanted it to move to.

I am wondering if Maeve wasn't Nemesis's target all along? There were hints early on that Lea was a bit discontented thinking perhaps that Mab didn't appreciate her. So when Harry out of ignorance and fear tried to kill her with the Sword of Love and she gained the Sword it gave her an opening when she is gifted the Knife. What is odd though is the next time we see the Knife if I remember correctly it is Mab that is wearing it in her belt. No mention of Maeve being anywhere near it if I remember correctly. What is also odd, is though Mab is seen wearing the Knife in her belt, she somehow eludes infection. Or did she? We think in Proven Guilty that in the ice garden where Lea is undergoing treatment, Mab is just hiding out. Or is she? Did she by this time realize the source of Lea's infection and is prophetically treating herself as well? I think so.. Having said all of that when did Maeve come in contact with the Knife? Did Lea let her examine it before Mab got hold of it? Mab evidently realized pretty quickly that it was infected, but didn't realize that Maeve had had contact? Or more likely I think, the target was Maeve, she got the full blast of the infection, that is really why Mab couldn't cure her. She and Lea on the other hand had fairly mild infections, so they were able to treat it and were cured.
vincentric:
Maeve didn't want to be cured, Lea did. Lea admits that she wasn't in her right mind in GS and Sarissa makes this point to Maeve in CD. Maeve rejects the overture and Mab's offer to cure her and return her to her duties, thus sealing her fate.
