She got that blood from the other person to survive.
That may have been the real difference.
It would be interesting to study what her treatments consisted of. I’m sure the medical profession will benefit from things learned.
Perhaps this is the real key to a cure in Africa. Use the blood of survivors. (of course that’s accepting this was the key to Amber’s recovery)
Maybe at some point, maybe soon, a serum will be figured out that doesn’t have to be cultivated (so to speak) by humans. Maybe pigs or dogs, who generally will not die of the disease.
0r it could just be that she was one of those 30% who survive on their own, and the transfusion just speeded things along.
About ten percent of white Europeans carry a gene that mutated 700 years ago during the time of the black plague. The mutation is called CCR5-delta 32.
This gene if inherited from both parents provides and immunity to AIDs. Maybe it also provides some resistance to Ebola.
Maybe Vinson carries the mutation which is also present in two percent of Asians. So Ebola is a racist disease more likely to kill blacks than whites.
