DOA. The FDA will require years of clinical trials.

Actually, that hasn’t stopped experimental trails that have already been conducted against Ebola.

And thus continued experimental trials will continue...

Ergo, develop the vaccine even if it is vis-à-vis experimental trials and disburse it to Africa free of charge. This needs to be stopped ASAP.

In this case, maybe not -

the FDA has an incentive to NOT release a drug or treatment only if the casualties from not releasing it remain invisible.

In this case, they may go the other way, as the “cost” of not releasing it is entirely visible, and the cost of releasing it (side effects) is unknown and will be publicly acceptable.
