Did you read it, stúpid? It's not a patent for the disease, it's a patent for specific Ebola treatment and detection methodologies. Ignorance and illiteracy.

ABSTRACT
Compositions and methods including and related to the Ebola Bundibugyo virus (EboBun) are provided.
Compositions are provided that are operable as immunogens to elicit and immune response or protection from EboBun challenge in a subject such as a primate. Inventive methods are directed to detection and treatment of EboBun infection.

This has nothing to do with stupid leaders. 3 doses were sent to Liberia. The Nigerian government asked first for it. The Americans could not even send one to Nigeria.

I bet you, if 3 American doctors get infected now, new samples will come out.

In late November 2007, HF
cases were reported in the townships
of Bundibugyo and Kikyo in
Bundibugyo District, Western Uganda.
The outbreak continued through
January 2008, and resulted in
approximately 149 cases and 37
deaths. Laboratory investigation of the
initial 29 suspect-case blood
specimens by classic methods
(antigen capture, IgM and IgG
ELISA) and a recently developed
random-primed pyrosequencing
approach identified this to be an
Ebola HF
outbreak associated with a new
discovered ebolavirus species. These
specimens were negative when
initially tested with highly sensitive
real-time RT-PCR assays specific for all
known Zaire and Sudan ebolaviruses
and Marburg viruses. This new
species is referred to herein as "the
Bundibugyo species", abbreviated
"EboBun".....


In other words, a new strain of the ebola virus was discovered and isolated so that the patent claimer can Make Profit From His Invented Method of treatment,etc.

That's exactly the same thing that the Emory University did when they flew the American doc to their facility... It's an intellectual game, man.

We have been repeating this argument but I wonder why people do not get it or choose to not get it.
Besides,there is even no guarantee that the guy was cured by Zmapp. Ebola does not have 100% fatality,that means some people still recover from it. What if he was just one of them? What of the Nigerians that were discharged without taking Zmapp?
Let us stop pretending. Every mice and monkey treated with ZMapp survived.

Dr Kent was dying and when the drug was administered to him, it was described like something from a cinematic thriller. Read this excerpt:
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."

Oh, another conspiracy theorist site??

[b]Globalresearch.ca (also under the
domain name globalresearch.org )
may best be described as the
moonbat equivalent to WorldNetDaily
(albeit not as "succesful" as WND). It
is the website of the Montreal -based
non-profit The Centre for Research
on Globalisation (CRG) founded by
Michel Chossudovsky.
The website describes itself as an
"independent research and media
organization." Globalresearch.ca
considers itself to be a reliable
"alternative news" source serving as a
major repository of a broad range of
"news articles, in-depth reports and
analysis on issues which are barely
covered by the mainstream
media" (such as the New World
Order). Its politico -economic stance is
strongly anti-capitalist , anti- imperialist,
anti-militarist , "internationalist but
anti-globalization ." Its view of science ,
the economy and geopolitics seems to
be broadly conspiracist.
While many of Globalresearch.ca's
articles discuss legitimate
humanitarian or environmental
concerns, the site has a strong
undercurrent of reality warping and
bullshit throughout its pages,
especially in relation to taking its news
from Russia Today, along with other
unreliable and/or open sources.
Despite presenting itself as a source of
scholarly analysis, Globalresearch.ca
mostly consists of polemics many of
which accept (and use) conspiracy
theories, pseudoscience and
propaganda . The prevalent
conspiracist strand relates to global
power- elites (primarily governments
and corporations ) and their New

Well, there are reasons.....

1. The drug has only been made for lab tests so far – not for countering an epidemic
Less than 100 doses of the drug are currently available. So far the ZMapp serum has only been manufactured in quantities suitable for small-scale tests – most recently on 20 monkeys.However, it is effective – in limited animal tests so far ZMapp has been successful. When administered to monkeys one hour after infection, all animals survived. Two-thirds of the animals were protected even when the ZMapp treatment was administered 48 hours after infection.

2. ZMapp is made by a small San Diego pharmaceutical company, with only 9 employees…
Mapp has only nine employees – to put that into perspective, pharma giant Pfizer has 78,000. Mapp just doesn’t immediately have the capacity to scale up.“The manufacturer has been planning for phase 1 clinical trials and does not have the capacity to manufacture large quantities of the treatment,” says the US Center for Disease Control.

3. It’s not just a case of mixing some chemicals together
More importantly, making ZMapp is not a case of swirling some chemicals together in a test-tube. The monoclonal antibodies in ZMapp have to be produced from specially-grown and harvested cells.The special cells were initially made by fusing human cells with those taken from a mouse infected with ebola. After careful nurturing and selection, cells able to produce antibodies are cloned. These hybrid cells are then placed inside tobacco leaves. Why leaves? They act as a nurturing environment where the cells can reproduce and thrive. Initially mice were used to produce the antibody-rich liquid. Using leaves is quicker and cheaper.But even then, it’s not just a case of squeezing the leaves out – once the liquid is extracted from the leaves, it has to be purified and tested for strength.Then the antibodies have to be modified to be more acceptable to the human immune system.

There are more than 100 Nigerians, including ex militants who can give 1 million dollars each to support the US company, but they will rather buy private jets and expensive mansions for mistresses!

To worsen it, our government played dirty political with citizens' lives by portraying US as being wicked by not 'giving' us the drugs. As if US government had a warehouse full of such drugs ready to ship!

Again they raised hopes about Nano Silver, until the manufacturers came out to say it can hinder the spread of the virus in human body but cannot cure it!

Where do we go next? Has it not occurred yet to someone to get on the plane and team with the makers of ZMapp?

Let us stop the lies and embrace the truth. It will help us as a nation.

I do not have a problem in setting things right in the country. I have a problem with the way the Americans handled the situation. They sent three drugs to Africa. Three of them to Liberia. Dr Ameyo Adadevoh contracted the virus from an American. Why did they not send one for her out of the three?

There is a reason why Zmapp is limited.......and this article does a good job of explaining it.

Excerpt below...

If it is "ENOUGH", first for the TWO American Doctors, then it later became ENOUGH for Liberians ....
But then it STOPPED BEING ENOUGH when it was the turn of a Nigerian Doctor (Who probably saved at least another then thousand lives by her sacrifice!)... ..and then after her, it again became ENOUGH when it was the turn of a Spanish Doctor to get a dose!

C'mmon, if we must fight, lets fight FAIR!
If she can get a dose, how come the Spanish Doctor who took ill after her could get one?



bushdoc9919: Also....why should our doctors (or the Liberian doctors )get Zmapp....and not one of the hundreds of sick people

Its called PRIORITIZATION Bro!!

If only one dose is available, you use it on the person who has the best ability to "affect others" positively!
Doctors in this case.

Same "logic" is used when the life of a foetus and the host mother is in jeopardy and "one of the two" must be let go.
Who do you save? The Mother, since she has a better chance of survival, she has other children who need her and she can still have another baby later!

There are no GOOD viruses.
Please, show us the link to the patents taken out on HIV and Ebola.
FYI, French researchers, not American, were the first to isolate and characterize HIV/AIDS.
Actually, you're the one who does not know what viruses are. If you did, you would know HIV is a retrovirus, whose genome is RNA, not DNA.

1. Recurrent lecturers strikes
2. Cheating in Jamb and WAEC exams.

If you are REALLY WORRIED AND DISAPPOINTED that there is no Nigeria answer to Ebola, encourage that boy/girl working hard to pass his or her exams without external help. Chances are he or she could be your saviour when next ebola like disease come calling. ....

So let us stop all this whether it was the drug.

Brantly and Writebol were given an experimental drug called ZMapp. The drug has shown promise in animals, but it hasn't been tested in humans yet. Doctors don't know if ZMapp cured their disease, because there was no control group (meaning, it's possible they could have recovered without the drug). This was also said by their doctors. So,nothing is certain. People have been cured from Ebola without Zmapp,so while it may be the magic bullet we can't blame Zmapp. Besides, as long as the Zmapp that was sent to Africa was not given to monkeys or chimps and lives were saved,all is fine. A Nigerian live is not worth more than a Liberian life.
The painful fact is that there is not enough Zmapp to go round.

I can tell you that you are right the drug help him to get healed.

You have to look behind, this american doctor belong to samarietiens purse the charity organisation of Billy Graham a big TV healer in America his son is the head of this charity organisation, so they have to say that prayers heal him.

Take a look at the two organisation MSF (doctors with out Border) and the american Organisation why MSF didnot have lost one doctor to Ebola because they work since the beginning with EBOLA, this american organisation first want to bring the gospel to Africa and the second work is the healing of the sick.

When they say ZMAP heal him they will get no donations because then their followers will see that for a sick body you need a doctor and for a sick sould is the pastor and they will lose much money and many followers!

I never argued that they have more in stock. I am saying the question of the ZMapp healing the doctors shouldnot be a debate.

As for Obama having Ebola. They have enough for him. It is also a lie saying the samples have finished. It is a $22 million dollars research. The company is not ready to dash their drugs. Also these guys lied there was no cure, while thousands died. Why should we take their words now?
