Man injects himself with Ebola DELIBERATELY in a bid to battle the deadly disease
A man has revealed he has been injected with the Ebola virus ON PURPOSE in a bid to fight the deadly disease.
Peter Hubbard said he hopes the small risk he is taking could help create a vaccine to prevent further outbreaks of the disease, which has claimed thousands of lives in west Africa.
Speaking from his apartment in Alexandria, Virginia, Mr Hubbard, a consultant who specialises in natural gas and peer markets, said: "I get a lot of satisfaction out of the fact that this could potentially develop into a viable vaccine that prevents another outbreak. It might not help out with the current outbreak but it could prevent a future one, so that's a real plus in my book."
Mr Hubbard, 35, is one of 20 people taking part in clinical trials for a vaccine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States.

Hey i gotta brilliant idea....lets cross the common cold with deadly ebola!!!!!! what could go wrong?!?! LOL
lol
So does this "count" as another case of ebola in America or is it like "terrorism" and only "officially recognized events" count???
Thanks...we knew that. It’s been said many times. Apparently, Obama and Kaci don’t always read the newspapers.
Wonder how much these 20 people got paid. Bet it was hefty.
One can only wonder why they don’t test the Reston strain of Ebola as a vaccine. When 6000 monkeys in Reston Virginia all died from Ebola and none of the monkey handlers did, but the handlers were all found to have Ebola antibodies in their blood, it should have told someone that the Reston strain might be a good candidate for a similarity immunization.
This is how the small pox vaccination worked. They give you a case of Cow Pox, which is not fatal and since the small pox vaccine is related, you are immune to small pox.
Just follow his sweat trail. Is there an aspect to this virus that makes victims seek out crowds?
Why on earth isn't he in a controlled environment instead of his appartment?
This means there are 20 people in the Alexandria area that have been injected with Ebola and aren't sufficiently quarantined. They will be traveling to and from doctor's appointments. This is ridiculous!!!!
They are probably being paid piecemeal for every secondary infection they cause in other people. /Cynical mode off
No he was injected with a Frankenvirus that combines the common cold with Ebola.
So either we will all get innoculated from Ebola from catching a cold. Or we'll have a strain of Ebola that is airborne and causes you to cough and sneeze a lot before you bleed out and die.
Ebola vaccine trials fast-tracked by international consortium
“The NIAID/GSK Ebola vaccine candidate is based on an attenuated strain of chimpanzee cold virus, called chimp adenovirus type 3 (ChAd3). The adenovirus is used as a carrier, or vector, to deliver benign genetic material derived from the Ebola virus Zaire species that has caused the current Ebola outbreak in west Africa. The genetic material contained in the investigational vaccine cannot cause a vaccinated individual to become infected with Ebola. The vaccine candidate delivers the Ebola genetic material to human cells but does not replicate further. Rather, it allows the vaccine recipient’s cells to express a protein, and that protein prompts an immune response in the individual.”
““It’s a bold strategy, Cotton! Let’s see if it pays off!””
LOL! Very funny movie. :)
That was funny.
“Hey i gotta brilliant idea....lets cross the common cold with deadly ebola!!!!!! what could go wrong?!?! LOL”
LOLOL! No kidding...
For your perusal... :)
With this economy, it may have been less than you'd think!
Ebola vaccine! Now with more dead baby! Yep, GSC uses dead babies for this vaccine.
