What about the treatment from tobacco that actually cured those two white people?

“What about the treatment from tobacco that actually cured those two white people?”

The vaccine option will make more money for corporations. If I understand correctly, GSK is co-developing the vaccine with Monsanto and the Department of Defense. Monsanto is subcontracting with a small tech company to produce the vaccine. There are millions of dollars to be made this way, as opposed to curing it.

I realize that this comment is extremely cynical, but is there any reason to believe that our government has our best interests in mind any more?

They have no idea if that helped or not at this point. The doctor had received a transfusion from a 14 year old boy who had survived.

Since the stats for survival were likely in the 55% for these two (early treatment), pretty hard to say what did what.
