Ebola Vaccine Human Trials Begin
securitas writes "The Washington Post reports on the first human to be injected with '100 trillion strands of synthetic' Ebola DNA. The DNA in the vaccine has been bioengineered by Vical to remove 'the part that triggers illness and the part that might allow the DNA to recombine with the DNA of some other virus.' The New York Times, AP via ABC and BBC all have stories about the new vaccine as the WHO reports 11 dead in a new Ebola outbreak in Congo this week. If you're interested in participating in the Ebola clinical trials, the NIH needs 27 volunteers. The study only has two. Best quote comes from the NIH vaccine center's nursing director: 'People freak out about Ebola.' Slashdot previously discussed an Ebola/HIV gene therapy."

I nominate Darl McBride!
So you won't volunteer to be injected with my trial anti-crocodile vaccine? Basically, I take 100 trillion crocodiles, remove their teeth and shove them in you.
I liked Roger Daltry better when he was a singer. This actor and reporter stuff he's doing just isn't as good.
For the past 5 years of my life, Ebola has been one of the coolest things in existence. It's a virus with a 90%+ fatality rate, no cure, etc, liquified within a week, etc. Imagine weaponizing that baby, making it airborne... take that, popular culture!
Anyways, why must science ruin nature's best things? We've killed off pretty much every large predator and made most kick-ass diseases extinct. What's the fun of that?
To make matters worse, we're probably pissing off God (or whatever runs this universe as root). We've defeated his ways of killing people! No more lightning, plague, floods, wars where that many innocent people are killed, and "fire and brimstone", aka meteorites, can't be THAT far off...

We tried reaching him for comment, but his face was in the middle of falling off, and he was having difficulty breathing.

I just called and did the prescreening. Very friendly lady. They are suppose to give me a call back in 10-14 days but I'm rather hopeful. Not sure why but I really want to do this, although I'm not thrilled about traveling to Bethesda, Maryland repeatedly. Still, its the right thing to do and my body hasn't been earning its keep lately. Downside is no unprotected sex for the next year, but since I haven't had any for the last year I doubt that will be too hard to arrange. Anyway, I'm not providing any real proof since I won't have any for at least 2 weeks, just letting you know that someone did call.
but, if you're immune to ebola afterwards, that means you can screw as many monkeys as you want, eat as many monkeys as you want, and also you can get bitten by as monkeys as you want. And, you wont have to worry about the consequences! Here monkey monkey
