“Experimental Ebola Treatment Protects Some Primates Even After Disease Symptoms Appear”
According to first author James Pettitt of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), the research team previously demonstrated that the treatmentknown as MB-003protected 100 percent of non-human primates when given one hour after Ebola exposure. Two-thirds of the animals were protected when treated 48 hours after exposure.
“”We had a large footprint in Africa, Cummings said of the Defense Departments response to the first Ebola cases reported in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire. Since that time, the Defense Department has answered numerous calls for assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO), nongovernmental organizations and ministries of heath and defense, he said.
Defense personnel provide a wide array of support to the Ebola-stricken African nations, from logistical help to guides for clinical management of the virus””
I realize that as a sailor you never witnessed the parts of the Army that deals with disease and biological agents, but your raging against the Army isn’t making any sense, and your arguments seem to be shifting somewhat.
It is hard to follow what makes you so mad about the Army.
