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

My guess: What you don't know can kill you.

I really have to wonder.

The only two ‘treatments’ we’ve been told about are the Tekmira one and the ZMapp one.

This particular drug is a small molecule, meaning it is available in pill form. Is already being produced in sufficient quantities to allow the Japanese government to stockpile it and is in phase III human trials in the treatment of another disease. It’s been shown, in the lab, to be 100% effective against ebola, post symptom development.

And yet we’ve heard nothing about it.

I suspect the owner hasn’t given the right sum of money to the right person yet.

Or, the ensuing panic and chaos from an outbreak here would be very advantageous to a particular group of people.
