Ebola vaccine developed in Canada may be 1st approved for use

A World Health Organization official says an Ebola vaccine developed in Canada may be the first to be approved for use, possibly before the year is out.

Marie-Paule Kieny says data from the first safety studies in humans of two experimental vaccines should be available by November.

She says if they are deemed safe to use, it could open the door initially for use in health-care workers tending the sick.

One of the experimental vaccines was developed at Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg.

The company which licensed that vaccine, NewLink Genetics, announced this week that it had received approval from the U-S Food and Drug Administration to start safety testing of the vaccine.

Kieny says it will likely be the first one used.

Kieny made the comment yesterday after a two-day meeting in Geneva involving nearly 200 scientists, public health experts and others involved in developing drugs and vaccines.

Nice! Hope humans will finally be able to get a handle on this thing.

It will never be approved because some dimwit Obama voter will claim it causes autism.

Eeeee-bolllll-aaaaaa ping!

Bring Out Your Dead

We’re gonna need

a bigger cart!

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Which DNA mutation of ebola does this vaccination counter?

But according to the experts and the news, Canadian drugs are all fake.

FYI, Here’s a way to treat EBOLA (and other viruses and bacterial infections) which may work....

The vitamin C foundation should go to Africa and distribute their cure.

When my son was in first and second grades, he was always coming down with stuff, colds, flu, dizzy, weak. Was hospitalized for a week of tests and observation. They found NOTHING. Doc discharged him with “give him chicken soup” advice. Then a friend dragged me to a health food store and bought me a book…chapter on Vitamin C deficiency sounded like my son’s story, though he had what I considered enough. So I started to load him up on MEGADOSES of vitamin C. Within two weeks he was a perfectly healthy little boy. Actually, within one week, we saw great improvements.

Point is, some people need more of some nutrients than others. I’d certainly try megadoses of vitamins, especially C.

This may or may not relate to Ebola cures or prevention. I do think that Ebola probably is more deadly for those with systems lacking good nutrition. How good can a mango-and-fruitbat diet be?

The author of the book I read, Adelle Davis, always talked about making your body a Fortress Against Disease. It’s been working for me for decades.

Thanks for the ping!

[goodnesswins]

I’m not sure the medical “industry” wants a simple cure...

[goodnesswins]

Yes, I believe a lot of people do not get what they need, or have different needs...I wish I’d given my son megadoses of C...probably would have prevented a bunch of problems he had

[ansel12]

Which ignores my post.

Don’t you care about saving lives and ending the Ebola outbreak?

The vitamin C foundation should go to Africa and distribute their cure.

[goodnesswins]

Guess I was a bit obtuse....I wonder if they would be ALLOWED to try it in Africa...but, you are correct...they should try!

[ansel12]

Sure they would be “allowed”, but they won’t do it.

How much would you say that you spend annually and monthly on products from them, or that you learn about, from them?

Not sure who you mean is “them?”
