He didn’t receive the serum. He wanted Nancy Writebol to have it. He did get a transfusion from one of the survivors however.

Ah - thank you. Been so much news over the past couple days that it’s hard to keep it all straight.

I’d be curious how well the transfusion works. It may give a key to a vaccine if it does. Ebola is one of those odd ones - bit like syphilis or smallpox. Hardish to catch in the first place, then contagious as all get out. Bit of effort might be worth it to eradicate it. We did it with smallpox.
