Seems like US has a cure: https://www.nairaland.com/1842616/ebola-cure-serum-released-usa

Frigging british bastard

mayvia: Am just tired of everything happening around me. God should just blow the damn trumpet and end this shit of a world.

dnt lyk d sound of tat....op ur nat finkin of commitin suicide?

bushdoc9919:

Because that requires increased spending on education, health and science...and our governments do not have the cash.(or claim not to).

Plus thanks to poor power supply among other things.....we do not have the enabling environment for indigenous pharma companies to thrive to the extent that they can fund such research.

Exactly. Even if government tries to fund research(in my dreams lol), people will still oppose them. You'll hear things like "Why not spend that money on employing youths? They're just gonna embezzle the money." The problems, IMO, are intertwined. It is a kinda loop.

Shebi una take una eye dey see ba?

All those empty headed black people on Nairaland that are quick to start hitting their heads against the wall at the mention of how wicked these white people are.

They don't love you and will never do, I don't know why yeye Africans can't get that into their thick sculls.

they started with creating aids , now this


History of US Secret Human Experimentation
2000 - Health News Network
3-25-2003
from Rense Website
1. 1931 Dr. Cornelius Rhoads, under the auspices
of
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Investigations, infects human subjects with
cancer cells. He later goes on to establish the
U.S. Army Biological Warfare facilities in
Maryland, Utah, and Panama, and is named to
the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. While there,
he begins a series of radiation exposure
experiments on American soldiers and civilian
hospital patients.
2. 1932 The Tuskegee Syphilis Study begins. 200
black men diagnosed with syphilis are never told
of their illness, are denied treatment, and instead
are used as human guinea pigs in order to follow
the progression and symptoms of the disease.
They all subsequently die from syphilis, their
families never told that they could have been
treated.
3. 1935 The Pellagra Incident. After millions of
individuals die from Pellagra over a span of two
decades, the U.S. Public Health Service finally
acts to stem the disease. The director of the
agency admits it had known for at least 20 years
that Pellagra is caused by a niacin deficiency but
failed to act since most of the deaths occurred
within poverty-stricken black populations.
4. 1940 Four hundred prisoners in Chicago are
infected with Malaria in order to study the effects
of new and experimental drugs to combat the
disease. Nazi doctors later on trial at Nuremberg
cite this American study to defend their own
actions during the Holocaust.
5. 1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins
mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000
servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945
and made use of Seventh Day Adventists who
chose to become human guinea pigs rather than
serve on active duty.
6. 1943 In response to Japan's full-scale germ
warfare program, the U.S. begins research on
biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD.
7. 1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test
gas
masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a
gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and
lewisite.
8. 1945 Project Paperclip is initiated. The U.S.
State
Department, Army intelligence, and the CIA recruit
Nazi scientists and offer them immunity and
secret identities in exchange for work on top
secret government projects in the United States.
9. 1945 "Program F" is implemented by the U.S.
Atomic Energy Commission ( AEC ). This is the
most extensive U.S. study of the health effects of
fluoride, which was the key chemical component
in atomic bomb production. One of the most toxic
chemicals known to man, fluoride, it is found,
causes marked adverse effects to the central
nervous system but much of the information is
squelched in the name of national security
because of fear that lawsuits would undermine
full-scale production of atomic bombs.
10. 1946 Patients in VA hospitals are used as
guinea
pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay
suspicions, the order is given to change the word
"experiments" to "investigations" or
"observations" whenever reporting a medical
study performed in one of the nation's veteran's
hospitals.
11. 1947 Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S.
Atomic
Energy Commission issues a secret document
(Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating
that the agency will begin administering
intravenous doses of radioactive substances to
human subjects.
12. 1947 The CIA begins its study of LSD as a
potential weapon for use by American intelligence.
Human subjects (both civilian and military) are
used with and without their knowledge.
13. 1950 Department of Defense begins plans to
detonate nuclear weapons in desert areas and
monitor downwind residents for medical problems
and mortality rates.
14. 1950 I n an experiment to determine how
susceptible an American city would be to
biological attack, the U.S. Navy sprays a cloud of
bacteria from ships over San Francisco.
Monitoring devices are situated throughout the
city in order to test the extent of infection. Many
residents become ill with pneumonia-like
symptoms.
15. 1951 Department of Defense begins open air
tests
using disease-producing bacteria and viruses.
Tests last through 1969 and there is concern that
people in the surrounding areas have been
exposed.
16. 1953 U.S. military releases clouds of zinc
cadmium sulfide gas over Winnipeg, St. Louis,
Minneapolis, Fort Wayne, the Monocacy River
Valley in Maryland, and Leesburg, Virginia. Their
intent is to determine how efficiently they could
disperse chemical agents.
17. 1953 Joint Army-Navy-CIA experiments are
conducted in which tens of thousands of people in
New York and San Francisco are exposed to the
airborne germs Serratia marcescens and
Bacillus glogigii.
18. 1953 CIA initiates Project MKULTRA . This is
an
eleven year research program designed to produce
and test drugs and biological agents that would
be used for mind control and behavior
modification. Six of the subprojects involved
testing the agents on unwitting human beings.
19. 1955 The CIA, in an experiment to test its
ability
to infect human populations with biological
agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the
Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa
Bay, Fl.
20. 1955 Army Chemical Corps continues LSD
research, studying its potential use as a chemical
incapacitating agent. More than 1,000 Americans
participate in the tests, which continue until 1958.
21. 1956 U.S. military releases mosquitoes
infected
with Yellow Fever over Savannah, Ga and Avon
Park, Fl. Following each test, Army agents posing
as public health officials test victims for effects.
22. 1958 LSD is tested on 95 volunteers at the
Army's Chemical Warfare Laboratories for its
effect on intelligence.
23. 1960 The Army Assistant Chief-of-Staff for
Intelligence (ACSI) authorizes field testing of
LSD in Europe and the Far East. Testing of the
European population is code named Project
THIRD CHANCE; testing of the Asian population
is code named Project DERBY HAT.
24. 1965 CIA and Department of Defense begin
Project MKSEARCH, a program to develop a
capability to manipulate human behavior through
the use of mind-altering drugs.
25. 1965 Prisoners at the Holmesburg State
Prison in
Philadelphia are subjected to dioxin, the highly
toxic chemical component of Agent Orange used
in Viet Nam. The men are later studied for
development of cancer, which indicates that Agent
Orange had been a suspected carcinogen all
along.
26. 1966 CIA initiates Project MKOFTEN, a
program
to test the toxicological effects of certain drugs
on humans and animals.
27. 1966 U.S. Army dispenses Bacillus subtilis
variant niger throughout the New York City
subway system. More than a million civilians are
exposed when army scientists drop lightbulbs
filled with the bacteria onto ventilation grates.
28. 1967 CIA and Department of Defense
implement
Project MKNAOMI, successor to MKULTRA and
designed to maintain, stockpile and test biological
and chemical weapons.
29. 1968 CIA experiments with the possibility of
poisoning drinking water by injecting chemicals
into the water supply of the FDA in Washington,
D.C.
30. 1969 Dr. Robert MacMahan of the Department
of
Defense requests from congress $10 million to
develop, within 5 to 10 years, a synthetic
biological agent to which no natural immunity
exists.
31. 1970 Funding for the synthetic biological
agent is
obtained under H.R. 15090. The project, under
the supervision of the CIA, is carried out by the
Special Operations Division at Fort Detrick, the
army's top secret biological weapons facility.
Speculation is raised that molecular biology
techniques are used to produce AIDS-like
retroviruses.
32. 1970 United States intensifies its development
of
"ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970),
designed to selectively target and eliminate
specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to
genetic differences and variations in DNA.
33. 1975 The virus section of Fort Detrick's
Center
for Biological Warfare Research is renamed
the Fredrick Cancer Research Facilities and
placed under the supervision of the National
Cancer Institute (NCI) . It is here that a special
virus cancer program is initiated by the U.S.
Navy, purportedly to develop cancer-causing
viruses. It is also here that retro-virologists
isolate a virus to which no immunity exists. It is
later named HTLV (Human T-cell Leukemia
Virus).
34. 1977 Senate hearings on Health and Scientific
Research confirm that 239 populated areas had
been contaminated with biological agents
between 1949 and 1969. Some of the areas
included San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Key
West, Panama City, Minneapolis, and St. Louis.
35. 1978 Experimental Hepatitis B vaccine trials,
conducted by the CDC, begin in New York, Los
Angeles and San Francisco. Ads for research
subjects specifically ask for promiscuous
homosexual men.
36. 1981 First cases of AIDS are confirmed in
homosexual men in New York, Los Angeles and
San Francisco, triggering speculation that AIDS
may have been introduced via the Hepatitis B
vaccine
37. 1985 According to the journal Science
(227:173-177), HTLV and VISNA, a fatal sheep
virus, are very similar, indicating a close
taxonomic and evolutionary relationship.
38. 1986 According to the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences (83:4007-4011),
HIV and VISNA are highly similar and share all
structural elements, except for a small segment
which is nearly identical to HTLV. This leads to
speculation that HTLV and VISNA may have been
linked to produce a new retrovirus to which no
natural immunity exists.
39. 1986 A report to Congress reveals that the
U.S.
Government's current generation of biological
agents includes: modified viruses, naturally
occurring toxins, and agents that are altered
through genetic engineering to change
immunological character and prevent treatment
by all existing vaccines.
40. 1987 Department of Defense admits that,
despite
a treaty banning research and development of
biological agents, it continues to operate research
facilities at 127 facilities and universities around
the nation.
41. 1990 More than 1500 six-month old black
and
Hispanic babies in Los Angeles are given an
"experimental" measles vaccine that had never
been licensed for use in the United States. CDC
later admits that parents were never informed
that the vaccine being injected to their children
was experimental.
42. 1994 With a technique called "gene tracking,"
Dr.
Garth Nicolson at the MD Anderson Cancer Center
in Houston, TX discovers that many returning
Desert Storm veterans are infected with an altered
strain of Mycoplasma incognitus , a microbe
commonly used in the production of biological
weapons. Incorporated into its molecular
structure is 40 percent of the HIV protein coat,
indicating that it had been man-made.
43. 1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a
report
revealing that for at least 50 years the
Department of Defense has used hundreds of
thousands of military personnel in human
experiments and for intentional exposure to
dangerous substances. Materials included
mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation,
psycho-chemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used
during the Gulf War .
44. 1995 U.S. Government admits that it had
offered
Japanese war criminals and scientists who had
performed human medical experiments salaries
and immunity from prosecution in exchange for
data on biological warfare research.
45. 1995 Dr. Garth Nicolson , uncovers evidence
that
the biological agents used during the Gulf War
had been manufactured in Houston, TX and Boca
Raton, Fl and tested on prisoners in the Texas
Department of Corrections.
46. 1996 Department of Defense admits that
Desert
Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents.

Liamm: A cure is underway for sure and i'm hopeful it would be concluded in 2weeks time

Na u dey do the research If not uare on ur own oh. As far as am concerned these ppl have taken a deaf ear to this matter it's now left 4 we africans to stand up on our own and tackle this epidemic.

I blame our government because we have the intelectuals to conduct these researches sucessfully. As a medical doctor, I pity patients sometimes when we are handicapped because of unavailabilty of an instrument that would've been of help...if our govt can encourage the experts we have around, we'll be rubbing shoulders with anybody/country soonest.

Boko Haram say western education no good.Mek dem help us with their Islamic knowledge cure this disease na.

Bur another Doctor said the like cure to this infermity is Bitter Kola.... any contradiction??




OMG: Actress Tonto Dikeh Risking Her Life With Ebola Virus
*****************************************************************************
The deadly Ebola is now in Nigeria and it it easily spread through animals. So, many people are wondering why Tonto Dikeh is romancing animals too loosely these days, including a monkey.
Check out HER shocking photos here >>> http://www..com/actress-tonto-dikeh-risking-life-ebola-virus/

there are medical researchers in africa right? They are doing the needful now

Africa is laughing at America.....hahahahaaaaaaa...skelewu

MZdamola: So so unfortunate and unfair
Na we dey suffer pass

so sad........
but unfortunately, we just chose to suffer because of our leaders, it's a shame.

Hmmmmmm

etunoman76: Pharmaceutical companies are unwilling to invest in vaccines and research to cure the deadly Ebola disease because it is only killing Africans, a leading UK doctor has claimed.

The President of the UK Faculty of Public Health, Prof. John Ashton, has claimed no cure for the disease has been discovered because it so far has only affected powerless minorities.

He likened the response to that of Aids, for which treatments were developed only when it started affecting Western countries.

The current Ebola outbreak – which has no vaccine, no cure and kills up to 90 per cent of victims – is currently ravaging the West African countries of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Liberia.

There have been 729 deaths from 1,329 confirmed cases of Ebola in this year’s epidemic – making it the largest Ebola outbreak in history.

Writingin the Independent on Sunday <http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/theyd-find-a-cure-if-ebola-came-to-london-9644515.html>, Prof. Ashton said: ‘We must respond to this emergency as if it was in Kensington, Chelsea, and Westminster.

‘We must also tackle the scandal of the unwillingness of the pharmaceutical industry to invest in research to produce treatments and vaccines, something they refuse to do because the numbers involved are, in their terms, so small and don’t justify the investment.

‘This is the moral bankruptcy of capitalism acting in the absence of an ethical and social framework.’

WHO Director-General, Margaret Chan, has also warned the virus is currently moving faster than efforts to control it.

She said, ‘This outbreak is moving faster than our efforts to control it. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the consequences can be catastrophic in terms of lost lives, severe socioeconomic disruption and a high risk of spread to other countries.’

Speaking at a meeting in Guinea’s capital, Conakry, she told the presidents of Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast that the virus could be stopped.

But she said that cultural practices such as traditional burials were a significant cause of its spread.

Meanwhile, Emirates, the Mideast’s largest airline, said today it had halted flights to Guinea because of concerns about the spread of the Ebola virus.

African leaders or Nigeria FG should spend the money on research to cure it, pay the white scientist and expatriate to come here and look for cure(develop a huge laboratory),instead of spending money on delegates to travel to the nonsense summit.. white people won't spend a dime of their taxes on research if the diseases does not kill them yet.. right now they trying to find cure on cancer that's where their tax money its going into.. so is not about minority..

Our local herbal medical practitioners should rise up to the task of finding a cure for Ebola. Lot of money to be made

Bryan12: I have a dream that I will discover a cure for it before it reaches southeast.

Its already in Anambra.

pDude: Seems like US has a cure: https://www.nairaland.com/1842616/ebola-cure-serum-released-usa

Frigging british bastard

So, basically because the guy said the truth, he's a bastard, no?

Also, how's the junk pseudo-cure serum you posted up there the answer to the ebola epidemic?

Where's the laboratory testing result(s) to certify that it's actually going to cure the virus, other than suppress it for a while? Any proof it has cured anyone? Basically, because of a trial and error application of the serum - it's now a cure, no? You sound like a medical illiterate.

Here is an honest guy in position of power, trying to force the government to release funds for research to find a cure for a deadly virus that's about to destroy the forgotten continent, yet you had to call him a bastard to make a point - utterly shameful.

Kalvan50: This is common knowledge. No one cares when it's a bunch of west Africans dying.

that dude is dumb, what the US's got is not a cure, only help slow down the virus.

Another population cleansing biological warfare in the making. If super powers use chemical,atomic or nuclear bombs on each other in the instance if a Third World War, Africa and some part of other continent will be habitable then, and they need population reduced drastically so they will not compete with the minority that indigenous population will he then.

Chinwem:

Why is the Africa always at the mercy of the west
Why can't we develop our own vaccines/ cure for once

the result of neglect of science and tecthnology has underdevelop west africa and has put us under the bondage of the white. Its time 2 rise up 2 d challenage. Westafri-awekening:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D:-D

Djtm: I've read this stance (and other POVs) on facebook. The thing is, it is not their job to do so. They are not responsible for us. They are not our "Daddy". African phamarceuticals should rise up and take the challenge too. If foreigners work on a cure, good. If they don't, well...

You don't say "the reason I'm not in school is because my neighbour did not pay my school fees. When his kids start going to school, I know he'll pay school fees."

nothing but the truth. Some professions in Nigeria and Africa as a whole are basically useless.

White imperialists! If there is God he will jugde you i d i o t s.

cirmuell: that dude is dumb, what the US's got is not a cure, only help slow down the virus.

It's even on the article he posted that it's an experimental serum, which has been able to suppress the symptoms, and not a cure.

The man he called a bastard is the head of the UK's public health sector, and he's speaking out to create awareness due to his position - so the government can actually listen and do the right thing. No one wants to die from freaking ebola. And rather than laud him, the clown called the upstanding man a bastard.

it's a VIRUS! Most viruses (if not all) have no cure.... the organism is just too tiny. The oyibo just dey use e head dey Dodge criticism. I wish I've graduated! would have found d cure!

What will it cost the Governments of LIBERIA, NIGERIA, SIERRA LEONE GUINEA to offer 1billion $ to the Pharmacist involved ? Our Govt should fund the research and buy the drugs, finish!

Does the native doctor in your village or your Prophet Tuberculosis Joshua have a cure?

Keep quiet if you know nothing. It is better that way. If you know anything about medicine, you will know that for every disease, there is always a cure. But FDA regulations, CDC regulations and all that Pharmaceutical testing and Bureaucratic and political bullshyt stands in the way of any cure being administered to human subjects.

The European countries do not hav our best interest @heart,other than their selfish interest which are center on African's National resources.

ANYTHING BLACK is EVIL.....
THEY MADE US BELIEVE SOOO.
EXAMPLES:
BLACK SHEEP of d family...
BLACK MARIA...(Prisoners)
BLACK CLOTH/VEST......mourning cloth.
BLACK BOX.........Air crashes..(yet not black in color).
BLACK/DARK SKY.......Bad Omen.
BLACK MAMBA.......Deadly.....
BLACK WIDOW SPIDER........deadliest..(yet not dark ).
DARK ANGEL.......DEVIL...
BLACK CAT.......EVIL...but white is nice(Lies).
BLACKMAN.......?

Personally I do not blame the western world. It is not in any way a fault of theirs. We have all it takes to deal with our own problems but corruption has taken away the funds we ought to use to tackle our own problems.

Now we have to beg people who do not CARE to actually pretend as though they care and come to our rescue.

This is becoming more scary
