Ebola: I Owe No One Any Apology – Minister Whocleared Sawyer To Travel by liljboy(m): 12:04pm On Aug 14, 2014
Liberia’s deputy finance minister, Sebastian Omar,
who cleared Patrick Sawyer to travel, yesterday,
defended himself against charges of incompetence
for clearing Sawyer to travel to Nigeria for a
conference. In the conversation on Facebook
tracked by online publication, Premium Times, Omar
stood his ground, and revealed that Sawyer was his
friend.


Asked whether Omar saw Sawyer’s blood test
results or whether he simply told him it was
negative, the minister said, “As his superior, if a
man tells you his sister died from Ebola and he
could have been exposed do you not think it is your
duty to ask the hard questions or maybe you could
have reported this to the health officials? Stop
making silly excuses as to not being his doctors.
This does not excuse you from asking the
questions as a government official that would
safeguard the lives of our citizens and your
international partners. It is your duty, again as a
Government official not wanting to go above and
beyond his duty to safe guard our population.
Sebastian Muah Omar Tariq, a friend is dead, I do
not owe you any explanation. POS (Patrick Sawyer)
was a public health practitioner if you must know.
The Ugandan doctor was a medical doctor if you
again must know. They are no longer. So the
freaking issue is not why he lied or didn’t lie to
travel.
But how we address the freaking disease. If you
don’t have jack to say in that direction then frankly
shut up on the subject. Sebastian Muah doesn’t
have time today frankly for your rants.”
Omar Tariq, oh hell yes you do owe Liberians and
the international community an explanation
Sebastian Muah, this is the complete arrogance of
you people in government.

Scientist say they have found how the lethal Ebola
virus blocks and disables the body’s ability to battle
infections in a discovery that should help the search
for potential cures and vaccines.


A group of scientists in the United States found that
Ebola carries a protein called VP24 that interferes
with a molecule called interferon, which is vital to
the immune response.
“One of the key reasons that Ebola virus is so
deadly is because it disrupts the body’s immune
response to the infection,” said Chris Basler of the
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York,
who worked on the study. “Figuring out how VP24
promotes this disruption will suggest new ways to
defeat the virus.”
The team, lead by Gaya Amarasinghe from
Washington University School of Medicine, found
that VP24 works by stopping something called
“transcription factor STAT1” – which carries
interferon’s antiviral message – from entering the
nucleus of a cell and initiating an immune response.
“This study shows just how nefarious the Ebola
virus can be,” said Ben Neuman, a virologist at
Britain’s university of Reading who was not directly
involved in this study.
“Ebola virus carries a small tool that intercepts the
cell’s distress signals, and when this happens, it
disables some of the most useful machinery that
our bodies have for fighting Ebola. That leaves the
body with only crude defences that are less
effective at stopping the virus, and end up causing
much of the damage that can eventually lead to
death.”
Ebola is one of the most deadly diseases known in
humans and has a case fatality rate of up to 90
percent. In the current epidemic in West Africa, the
virus has infected more than 1,800 people. So far,
1,013 of these have died the vast majority in
Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
There are no proven treatments or vaccines to
prevent Ebola, although several biotech companies
and research teams have potential drugs in
development.
