ZMapp is not a vaccine. It’s a treatment, after the fact, if you are infected.
Do journalists just not understand basic scientific terminology?
There is no vaccine.
At best people can get transfused with antibodies from survivors but its not a cure or even prevention - its a palliative.
Hope is not a strategy.

EXCERPT:
Scientists working on Ebola treatments may soon be looking to Israeli-owned pharmaceutical company CollPlant, reports the Times of Israel.
The company uses tobacco plants to manufacture human proteins, which are used in Zmapp, the only Ebola treatment on the horizon.
The company’s founder, Oded Shoseyov, is optimistic that CollPlant could assist in curbing the spread of the deadly virus. “We didn’t invent the method, but we have taken it farther than anyone else,” he told the newspaper.
“Journalists” use idiotic terms like “big pharma” ... people who use terms like that usually aren’t too bright.
Zmapp is a combination of three Ebola antibodies that is produced in tobacco plants. Other plants could be used, tobacco is however a good choice...
There are no tobacco products in the produced Zmapp.
(i.e. no nicotine) The tobacco plants are just manipulated into manufacturing the antibodies.
Israel should require other countries to give full recognition of Jerusalem as their capital before allowing them to buy this.
NO.....besides nothing will be done other than looking like something is being done....UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION....A FACT.
I was just going to say the exact same thing.
No, they don't understand much of anything..
They don't understand basic economics.
They don't understand faith.
They don't understand Mathematics, Statistics, nor Physics.
Not much at all.
I would assume that is a rhetorical question.
“Do journalists just not understand basic scientific terminology?”
My guess would be no. I once read somewhere that the vast majority of journalists were the C and D students in school.
It's not required in journalism schools........................
