He received an injection of blood from a 14 yro Ebola survivor. Since he had two very different treatments, it’s impossible to know what role either one played in his recovery.

After recieving the super duper secret never before tried on humans amazing magical miracle serum, within the hour he was snatched from death's door, his rash gone and had perked up to nearly dancing on his bed.

You are attacking a good Christian doctor and Franklin Graham’s Evangelical Christian organization.

The US Army, CDC, and the DOD, and Christian missionaries have of course always been involved in Ebola breakouts since they first started in 1976, it is part of the medical crisis work that they do.

“”“We had a large footprint in Africa,” Cummings said of the Defense Department’s response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.

Defense personnel provide a wide array of support to the Ebola-stricken African nations, from logistical help to guides for clinical management of the virus, Cummings said, adding the U.S service members “bring a level of excellence second to none, working in response to host nations and WHO in the most-affected countries of Sierra Leone and Liberia.”””


As far as the cure suddenly appearing, look at the date.

August 2013, US News and World Report
photo—A medical worker from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention works at a laboratory in Entebbe, Uganda where researchers are working on the Ebola outbreak on Thursday Aug. 2, 2012.

“”U.S. Army medical researchers may have found an emergency treatment for the deadly Ebola virus, which is welcome news to biodefense researchers studying ways in which such hemorrhagic fever viruses jump from non-primate species to human beings and how to treat them.””

NPR, 2013
“”Ebola, your days as one of the world’s scariest diseases may be numbered.

A team of U.S. government researchers has shown that deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever can be vanquished in monkeys by an experimental drug given up to five days after infection — even when symptoms have already developed.

An antibody cocktail aimed at Ebola’s outer surface rescued three of seven macaques infected with lethal doses of the hemorrhagic virus in the U.S. Army’s high-security labs at Fort Detrick, Md.””

Or the unbelievable 1 hour turn around of Brantly had to be toned down with the 3rd patient.

They are talking about MAYBE having a vaccine by next year. IF it works. Flu shots, for example, are a bit of a crap shoot.

The OTHER THING you want, if you weaponize something is an ANTIDOTE. So far, there isn’t one of those either. Those two Americans got something, but they are a long, long way from being out of the woods. I think they are still very much wandering around in the woods.

We study bioweapons because if someone else uses them, we have to be ready. As ACTUAL WEAPONS, they suck for so many different reasons.

With a virus, then you also have to worry about a mutation significant enough to make your vaccine ineffective, but not significant enough to make the virus any less deadly.

I don’t seen anything sudden going on, except for the sudden underreporting. What country wants to announce its off the chain there. The SA and Benin, for example.

No, they won’t a vaccine at the local drug store because we’re too stupid to understand how to swallow it or poke our arms. It will have to be administered through a government grant by medical personnel so we can pay for it, the grant and the doctors. Of course, obola will get his cut at each stage.

My bio-chemist brother owns a lab that manufactures colloidal silver and other colloids of metals. He sent me the link to an article about ebola and a treatment- http://whitewraithe.wordpress.com/2014/08/04/breaking-news-anonymous-doctor-releases-treatment-for-the-ebola-virus/
I have read the article and it seems to have merit. Take a look

Africa is an ideal testing ground for weaponization of these things. Look at what has come out of Africa in the last40 years or so that was unknown before..

Your guess is as good as mine as to why this compound has received ZERO exposure in the US media.

My guess: What you don't know can kill you.

I really have to wonder.

The only two ‘treatments’ we’ve been told about are the Tekmira one and the ZMapp one.

This particular drug is a small molecule, meaning it is available in pill form. Is already being produced in sufficient quantities to allow the Japanese government to stockpile it and is in phase III human trials in the treatment of another disease. It’s been shown, in the lab, to be 100% effective against ebola, post symptom development.

And yet we’ve heard nothing about it.

I suspect the owner hasn’t given the right sum of money to the right person yet.

Or, the ensuing panic and chaos from an outbreak here would be very advantageous to a particular group of people.

That is a very good point. Me. I did not like the video of the dr. walking into Emory. If he was as sick as they claimed, he should have been in a wheelchair. The only obvious reason for him to walk would be exactly so that they could broadcast video of him strolling into Emory on his own, subsequent to the ‘magical miracle’ treatment.

When the polio vaccine came about, school children like myself were the test subjects.

My brothers friend had polio. It was heartbreaking to watch her struggle in the braces on her legs.

We had worked sooooo hard selling salt at 10 cents a box for the March of Dimes and it finally paid off.

A few years back, one of my clients was using a walker. We were about the same age. He said "I missed the vaccine by 6 months".

We just keep trying but something new will come...and we know just a little more and solutions will come faster.

Remember the anthrax attack. Plenty of Cipro for the elite. Congress lined up like it was free candy.

IRC, After they were given the antibiotic, the USA ordered a bazillion units to be made.

Yes, I had kids in my class who had had polio. The disease was far more widespread than Ebola. Parents were in a panic to keep their kids safe.

Now, just for fun, do a web search on Simian Virus 40 (SV-40).

Infectious disease is a military problem, since more soldiers are incapacitated or die of disease than from weapons.

as for ebola being a bioweapon of evil America, these types of claims were common and part of the KGB propaganda campaign...and since that time pushed by the left and it's jihadi fellow travelers.e.g. the UK Guardian.

A variation of when the middle ages blamed the Jews for the Black death, even though the Pope pointed out the Jews died too, so it wasn't logical to blame them.

Ebola would make a lousy bioweapon, since the danger to the US could be
HUGE
...
huge...no vaccine, no treatment.
