Possible Treatment For Ebola
RedEaredSlider writes "Researchers at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases have found a class of drugs that could provide treatment for Ebola and Marburg hemorrhagic fever. The new drugs are called 'antisense' compounds, and they allow the immune system to attack the viruses before they can do enough damage to kill the patient. Travis Warren, research scientist at USAMRIID, said while the work is still preliminary -— the drugs have been tested only on primates — the results are so far promising. In the case of Ebola, five of eight monkeys infected with the virus lived, and with Marburg, all survived. The drugs were developed as part of a program to deal with possible bioterrorist threats, in partnership with AVI Biopharma."
"antisense compounds" tested on primates. Too easy.
Most of those corrupt and poor countries were fine until a little thing called American Foreign Policy was introduced to them and their neighbors.
But you won't read about that on your ipads while you drink your coffee and eat your chocolate at the expense of the rest of the world.
or the government manufactured tons of the stuff that cost billions of dollars so now they need to sell it to get some their money back so they infect a huge chunk of the population thus creating a captive audience of customers, = buy this or die. [tinfoil hat mode off]
