"It's definitely not something you smoke",
Interesting background piece on how tobacco plants are employed in producing medicines such as ZMAPP.
Significance of this method.
“Plant-based drugs have attracted the attention and funding of the federal government, however, as a fast and cheap approach to make a lot of vaccine material in case of terrorist attacks, said Daniel Tuse, a consultant and managing director of Intrusept Biomedicine, which also works with tobacco plants in Owensboro.”
It would be interesting if studies are done to see if smokers are less likely to get Ebola or any other epidemic diseases.
In short, the process of making drugs in tobacco plants is time-consuming. That is the problem with using biological systems to make any drug.
It is interesting to see the details of how this is done.

That’d be an economical treatment for sure.
I thought I read Vitamin C might be the key somewhere.
Of course, the conspiracy boards are abuzz with government manufactured bioweapon and companies already have the cure. Monsanto behind it all, etc.
Or that it’s the global warming illuminati elitists trying to thin out the human herd by 80-90%.
