Too Early To Send Experimental Ebola Drug To Africa Says Obama by emmy02(op): 8:31am On Aug 07, 2014
WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President Barack Obama
said on Wednesday it was too soon to send
experimental drugs for the treatment of Ebola to
West Africa, which has been hardest hit by the
deadly outbreak.
Obama said affected countries should instead
focus on building a "strong public infrastructure,"
adding: "I think we have to let the science guide
us. And I don't think all the information is in on
whether this drug is helpful."
The decision to use an experimental drug to treat
two Americans infected with Ebola, while nearly
1,000 Africans have already died from the deadly
epidemic, has sparked controversy.
Asked if, should the drug prove to be effective, he
would support fast-tracking its approval in the
United States, Obama replied: "I think it's
premature for me to say that because I don't have
enough information. I don't have enough data right
now to offer an opinion on that."
