Why wouldn’t it be tested in Liberia where the infection is?
A link to this thread has been posted on the Ebola Surveillance Thread
"President Merkin Muffley: I will not go down in history as the greatest mass-murderer since Adolf Hitler.
General "Buck" Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American People than with your image in the history books."
The Aids virus constantly mutates and is not affected by a fixed set of antibodies generated from vaccines. It is like the Flu virus in that characteristic.
The Ebola virus is actually quite stable and can be killed by a fixed set of antibodies. There is also a strain (Ebola-Reston) which does not seem to cause illness in humans, but generates antibodies that may convey some protection against other strains of Ebola.
Ebola-Zaire creates substances which suppress antibody production. That's one of the ways it gets loose in humans.
The ethical problem with developing any vaccine is that there is only one way to tell if it is going to work.
Thanks for info.....btw.... that is what child molestors are for
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...
It doesn’t sound like a preventative.
Inquiring minds want to know:
Is this another US Patent owned by the DNC?
It would explain why Ebola is imported by the Tyrant.
