like wwe did for HIV? One of the most political hot potato diseases with everyone looking for a vaccine or cure? Its taken 30 years to get viable treatment. We cant solve everything instantly with a wave of the wand

And TB which we thought we had beaten is now back with drug resistant strains that defy treatment. We have been working on that one over 100 years. Sometimes the bugs win.....

I’ve been wondering, do the anti-viral drugs that were developed for treating HIV have any effect on other viruses? What would happen if, as soon as a person was diagnosed with ebola, they were started on an anti-viral cocktail along with immune boosters and blood platelets?

I’m not a doctor, but I haven’t find any reason yet why this wouldn’t help.
