Samakinr:
Do u know the meaning of a vaccine? vaccine is never used as a curative drug
Do u know a lot people has died in Sierra Leone and Liberia than in Nigeria where we can still contain it and hence they need the better sympathy?
what research evidence supports nano silver as an antiviral?...
Do u know that FDA did not mention nano silver?
And to correct you... ......Patrick Sawyer came to Nigeria as a Liberian diplomat.... And not as an American.
Lastly, I don't disprove your conspiracy theory, but my level of intelligence would not accept that reasoning except you can support ur fact

hollandis:

Stop talking this way,why should WHO intervene for just a mere one person.when people are dying because the drug hasnt reached them? Please dont let me lose my mind for a common logical reasoning

pussyeater:
Slowpoke! Make we see who go tire!

thegoodjoehunt3: That is because the Spanish Government pushed to get the drug for the Priest.

When President Obama gave his reasons why the drug could not be sent to Nigeria, what steps did our Minister of health take to fight for the drug. Did he contact WHO and other bodies to fight for the drugs?

What about asking for WHO to give us the right to carry out clinical trials with other experimental drugs seeking FDA approval.

Our government went home saying President Obama said no. Did they even contact the managers of Mapp BioPharma?

hollandis:

We are talking about what is on ground .You are defining vaccine for me .Are you alright?

If Nanosilva or Nanogold is the only remedy since WHO had declared they wont give the drugs to Nigeria,then FUUUUCKK WHO .lET THESE GUYS USE THE NANOSILVER and be cured and let Nigeria become a pacesetter ,you know what?FUUUCK WHO AGAIN AND AGAIN

cirmuell: Give us Ur serum, you refused. We came up with a 'likely' cure you're whining again...for petes sake what really do the US govt want?

Experimental Ebola Drug ZMapp Made Available for Priest in Spain



Expermental Ebola drug ZMapp has been made available to Spanish medical authorities, who retrieved the medicine from Geneva for use in the treatment of a priest stricken with Ebola who was airlifted to Spain for medical care.

News stories are reporting that permission to make the dose available was given by the manufacturer MAPP pharmaceuticals. The medical aid organization MSF (Doctors Without Borders) helped in the transaction.

Press reports last week claimed that Nigerian officials had asked about the availability of the drug and were told that no doses were available for use in West African patients.

They want to sell their sanitizers. They have realized that HIV/AIDS is no longer in vogue, they shot this bacterial infection into teh air and are now making money selling sanitizers to Africans. In that circumstance, any claim that there is another solution will be aggressively challenged. God punish bad people.

They had earlier made a whole lot of noise about helping us find our girls abducted by 'their creation', Shekau. Today, we have neither heard from nor seen the girls. These Americans sha......

HandOfChukwu: I keep telling people the whites are the natural enemy of the black man and woman, it was dem who introduced AIDS to Africa, why do you think the only country with whites in the whole of Africa(South Africa) is the AIDS capital of the world?

50calibre:
Hahahahaha definitely!! If Ebola finds its way into Europe, a cure will emerge from nowhere. But damn!! It will be proper scary and spread like wildfire.

Zaire had the first cases of Ebola in the 70s, when they were being ruled by a complete airhead Mobutu Seseseko who knew only how to siphon money.

Somehow, Ebola was brought under control and since then no African government has taken the initiative to invest resources into further research on this vicious virus (despite smaller outbreaks over the years) other countries who never experienced Ebola, developed experimental drugs and kept them in anticipation of something like this.

I think Africa deserves no sympathy from anyone.

A lot is still not known about Ebola, most of the information being circulated are old and outdated or just products of brief research, the west is just starting to pay more attention to this virus.

I'm still of the opinion that this particular strain could be airborne, just take a look at the infection rate, it's insane!!

[b] Eight Ebola patients in Nigeria will be treated with an experimental drug called Nano Silver, the Nigerian minister of health said, according to news reports.

The drug was reportedly developed by a Nigerian doctor living overseas, and is being shipped to Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos. But the health minister did not disclose the name of the doctor who developed the treatment, and little else is known about it, the Wall Street Journal reported.

One possibility is that the drug is made from nanoparticles of silver, but it may also be made from other components, experts say. In any case, it's highly unlikely the medicine has ever been tested against Ebola in nonhuman animals, experts say.

"I am suspicious of the claim … of this being a viable treatment for Ebola virus, and I am worried that this will cause more harm than good," said Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious-disease specialist and a senior associate at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Health Security. [5 Things You Should Know About Ebola]

Experimental drugs

The current Ebola outbreak — the largest in history — has killed more than 1,000 people in West Africa. Because there is no approved vaccine or treatment for Ebola, and the virus has a high fatality rate, the World Health Organization decided this week that it was ethical to use unproven drugs in the current outbreak.

Two American health care workers and a Spanish priest received doses of an experimental, antibody-based drug called ZMapp. (The Americans are reported to be improving; the priest has died.) A Canadian company is donating 1,000 doses of its experimental drug to Liberia, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration lifted a hold on using another drug, developed by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals. All of those drugs have been tested in nonhuman primates, and the Tekmira drug is going through initial safety trials in humans.

But the drug that Nigerian health officials plan to use is much less well known — and likely less tested — than any of these experimental compounds, experts say.

Nano silver

No one has reported on what Nano Silver is made of, or how it works.

One possibility is that the drug uses tiny — or "nano" — particles of silver. There is some evidence that silver has antimicrobial properties, said Dr. William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

But as far as taking it orally as medicine, "silver has been tried in various other circumstances against several different infections with very limited effect," Schaffner told Live Science.

Adalja noted that silver coatings on bed railings, catheters and endotracheal tubes can inhibit bacteria from colonizing those surfaces. Silver is also added to certain topical antibacterial creams, such burn creams, to prevent infection, he said.

But there's no peer-reviewed evidence that silver could help a person infected with the Ebola virus, Adalja said. And if the drug were actually made of tiny silver nanoparticles, then the particles could potentially penetrate cells and "wreak some havoc there," Adalja added.

In the U.S. and elsewhere, the diet supplement colloidal silver is popular, although drinking too much of the liquid silver suspension can have an ugly side effect: Colloidal silver can turn people blue.



But it's possible that the phrase "nano silver" is just a catchy name for a totally different compound, Adalja said.

No animal testing

It's unlikely that Nano Silver has been tested in animals infected with Ebola, Adalja said. In the United States, Ebola is incredibly hard to gain access to: Anyone who handles live Ebola virus must work in one of a handful of biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories, and must be cleared by both the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to work with such a dangerous agent, Adalja said.

Another reason to doubt the treatment's validity is that any success in Ebola research tends to be big news, he said. In other words, if Nano Silver were showing promise, it would likely not have just been noticed now.

"Most of the things that are going on with Ebola are very well publicized," Adalja told Live Science.

Giving untested treatments to Ebola patients is a risky proposition, Schaffner said.

People may think to themselves, "'These are desperate circumstances. What's to lose?'" Schaffner said. "There's a terrific amount to lose."

If the drugs harm people, or are just useless, "the already shaky confidence in the health care system could be threatened," Schaffner said.

Even focusing on more tested drugs could undermine the public health effort. Quantities of all the experimental drugs are scarce, and are no substitute for "tried and true" methods for stopping Ebola, Adalja said.

"That involves basic public health and hygiene, finding cases, reporting them and tracking them," Adalja said.

So so on point bro. True talk. We really need to start doing for self and not wait for these people to do it for us. It is just all politics, nobody gives a hoot about our welfare as Africans, and really, nobody should but us. Remember the Indo China wars and the Vietnam War? It is always about the west's interests, nothing else matters.
