Nigerians and our crazy ways of twisting the truth to make News 'attractive' in our selfish ways.....Anyways,the facts are :- 1. it's not a secret serum but an Experimental Serum.....New drugs are tested to see how potent they are and evaluate their side effects if any before they are mass produced to be used in saving ur powerless, lying, monkey-eating, Ebola infected @sses. 2. The Doctor isn't out of the woods yet so he isn't saved.....According to reports,he has greatly improved and infact started improving about 20 minutes after being administered d serum as he was near death when the drug was tested on him...Not forgetting he almost died saving ur African @sses from an epidemic He's still in confines of the hospital being viewed by his wife only through a glass bordering his bed as he is still able to transmit the virus.....Damn Africans!....we should always state facts in cases like dis and drop the wicked 'news framing' for once! 11 Likes |

Three top secret, experimental vials stored at subzero temperatures were flown into Liberia last week in a last- ditch effort to save two American missionary workers who had contracted Ebola, according to a source familiar with details of the treatment. On July 22, Dr. Kent Brantly woke up feeling feverish. Fearing the worst, Brantly immediately isolated himself. Nancy Writebol's symptoms started three days later. A rapid field blood test confirmed the infection in both of them after they had become ill with fever, vomiting and diarrhea. It's believed both Brantly and Writebol, who worked with the aid organization Samaritan's Purse, contracted Ebola from another health care worker at their hospital in Liberia, although the official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case investigation has yet to be released. A representative from the National Institutes of Health contacted Samaritan's Purse in Liberia and offered the experimental treatment, known as ZMapp, for the two patients, according to the source. The drug was developed by the biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. The patients were told that this treatment had never been tried before in a human being but had shown promise in small experiments with monkeys. According to company documents, four monkeys infected with Ebola survived after being given the therapy within 24 hours after infection. Two of four additional monkeys that started therapy within 48 hours after infection also survived. One monkey that was not treated died within five days of exposure to the virus. Brantly and Writebol were aware of the risk of taking a new, little understood treatment; informed consent was obtained from both Americans, according to two sources familiar with the care of the missionary workers. In the monkeys, the experimental serum had been given within 48 hours of infection. Brantly didn't receive it until he'd been sick for nine days. The medicine is a three-mouse monoclonal antibody, meaning that mice were exposed to fragments of the Ebola virus and then the antibodies generated within the mice's blood were harvested to create the medicine. It works by preventing the virus from entering and infecting new cells. The Ebola virus causes viral hemorrhagic fever, which refers to a group of viruses that affect multiple organ systems in the body and are often accompanied by bleeding. Early symptoms include sudden onset of fever, weakness, muscle pain, headaches and a sore throat. They later progress to vomiting, diarrhea, impaired kidney and liver function -- and sometimes internal and external bleeding. The ZMapp vials reached the hospital in Liberia where Brantly and Writebol were being treated Thursday morning. Doctors were instructed to allow the vials to thaw naturally without any additional heat. It was expected that it would be eight to 10 hours before the medicine could be given, according to a source familiar with the process. Brantly asked that Writebol be given the first dose because he was younger and he thought he had a better chance of fighting it, and she agreed. However, as the first vial was still thawing, Brantly's condition took a sudden turn for the worse. Brantly began to deteriorate and developed labored breathing. He told his doctors he thought he was dying, according to a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation. Knowing his dose was still frozen, Brantly asked if he could have Writebol's now-thawed medication. It was brought to his room and administered through an IV. Within an hour of receiving the medication, Brantly's condition dramatically improved. He began breathing easier; the rash over his trunk faded away. One of his doctors described the events as "miraculous." By the next morning, Brantly was able to take a shower on his own before getting on a specially designed Gulfstream air ambulance jet to be evacuated to the United States. Writebol also received a vial of the medication. Her response was not as remarkable, according to sources familiar with the treatment. However, doctors on Sunday administered Writebol a second dose of the medication, which resulted in significant improvement. She was stable enough to be evacuated back to the United States and is expected to arrive before noon Tuesday. ZMapp has not been approved for human use, and has not even gone through the clinical trial process, which is standard to prove the safety and efficacy of a medication. The process by which the medication was made available to Brantly and Writebol is highly unusual. It may have fallen under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's "compassionate use" regulation, which allows access to investigational drugs outside clinical trials. Getting approval for compassionate use is often long and laborious, but in the case of Brantly and Writebol, they received the medication within seven to 10 days of their exposure to the Ebola virus. On July 30, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, an arm of the military responsible for any chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive threats, allotted additional funding to MAPP Biopharmaceutical due to "promising results." 8 Likes |

thexyz: So wait, the US may have found a cure to Ebola? And if they have, will they come help patients of this dreaded disease in Africa? The article below was written by Dr. Sanjay Gupta for CNN and they are saying an experimental drug called ZMapp likely saved the lives of 2 US missionary doctors (pictured above) who contracted the disease while working in Liberia...see report below from CNN.. Last week I posted on nairaland that: Ebola virus like her nephew HIV, methinks is a genetic engineered virus engineered by the _____ lab scientists in their lab. For the test run they use the ____ as their lab rats. They said no cure for Ebola but they cured their citizen, only the engineer of this Ebola virus knows the antidote 6 Likes |

hilary26: The moment they decided to return the two doctors home for treatment I knew they have always had the cure. Exactly! And here you have america's azz kissers on Nairaland already praising their 'god' America for a job well done when we all know that everything about USA is money. The American pharmaceutical companies will make no money if people don't fall sick and require drugs especially for an extended period of time. But some Nairalanders lack critical thinking skills and think everything USA does is in black and white. Americans will do anything for money including kill, steal and destroy like their master satan while deluded self-hating Negros will come on Nairaland and sing praises to them for creating a virus and finding a cure for it after human life has been lost.

dasparrow: On the contrary, YOU are the mentally enslaved negro. All the education you received, all the money spent training you and you end up here, spewing brainless conspiracy theories. You lazy bastards can't even make your theories about any other country. It must always be 'America' and 'CIA'. It will never be the Chinese or Russians or British or Germans. As a 'weapon', ebola is not very good . It's not very contagious in most phases of infection. It doesn't survive long outside a host. That doesn't stop your poorly educated theories. You are an intellectual slave held victim by an inferiority complex to try and pretend you know more than anyone else. You're too stoopid to read widely, and you cannot consider that the fallout if the US had tested this experimental serum on poor Africans would be immense. Imbecilic dolts like you would be the first to lament and cry about CIA plots. This discussion is no place for your limited intellect. Get out of my sight, you house slave. You blight the black race with your idiocy. 13 Likes |

You seize every opportunity to tear us down while praising and worshiping your white masters who sit in labs in the western world creating viruses and their cures to make themselves look like messiahs to deluded Negros and deluded mulattos like yourself.
