Maybe the 3rd patient and the Spanish priest didn’t rate the real cure. Seems to have convinced quite a few people that the cure doesn’t work, afterall!

LOL!

Let me put it this way...

If I had a medical company and I had the only cure for Ebola, the only delay would be to exercise any stock options before I let it slip that it works.

They’ve already got a drug, favipiravir, that is in phase III clinical trials (human trials) as an anti-influenza drug. It’s a wide spectrum drug against RNA viruses:

Japan is already stockpiling this particular compound in the event of an outbreak of influenza variants. South Korea has indicated they will be purchasing this drug as well, in the event of an Ebola outbreak there.

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

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