Good find! I was just reading a little about this from another site, which I cannot remember right now. They were talking about Lurie, and how she should be the go-to person on the Ebola response, but she had been tied up in this scandal, and Chimerix was the small company that lost to a big Dem donor company. It went on to explain that Chimerix was working on an anti-viral compound against infectious diseases, including hemorrhagic fevers, such as Lassa, Marburg, and Ebola at the time. Think of how far they may have been, and how much of the drug they could have processed with a big ole government contract.
