Top secret serum likely saved Ebola patients
CNN ^ | Aug 4, 2014 | CNN

Three top secret, experimental vials stored at subzero temperatures were flown into Liberia last week in a last-ditch effort to save two American missionary workers who had contracted Ebola, according to a source familiar with details of the treatment.

A representative from the National Institutes of Health contacted Samaritan's Purse in Liberia and offered the experimental treatment, known as ZMapp, for the two patients, according to the source.

The drug was developed by the biotech firm Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. The patients were told that this treatment had never been tried before in a human being but had shown promise in small experiments with monkeys.

Brantly began to deteriorate and developed labored breathing. He told his doctors, "I am going to die," according to a source with firsthand knowledge of the situation.

Within an hour of receiving the medication, Brantly's condition was nearly reversed. His breathing improved; the rash over his trunk faded away. One of his doctors described the events as "miraculous."

. . . hope they are starting to manufacture it in quantity.

Me too, but I doubt that it will happen until the regulatory industry figures out how to get their fair share.

They already have it all pulled together.

They got some good clones and are in production.

Next stop, Liberia.

Thanks. They are using tobacco plants to make these antibodies.

Thanks to the FDA and their enabling politicos, in the not too distant future, seriously ill patients will need to go outside the US to receive effective treatments.

On the bright side, Americans will have enough hair-loss, erectile-dysfunction, "surgical enhancement" and fitness video alternatives to fill the pipeline for the next generation of reality TV.

Well, when I’m blue, and you’re dead, you can laugh all you want.

BTW, the blue business has been almost completely discredited. It’s caused by large clumps of silver settling in the skin.
Not properly made colloidal silver.

Sounds like this serum is incredibly effective -- hope they are starting to manufacture it in quantity.

Interesting. With both the ebola virus and an effective cure in the hands of this administration full of anti-American, communist, muslim, genocidal maniacs, what could possibly go wrong.

The antibodies will be produced through genetically altered evil tobacco plants.

Only 9 million dollars a shot.

It's only 6 million if you get it mail order from Canada.

I am of the opinion that you are not far from the truth. If the government is able to kill off a lot of 65 and olders, then the Social Security trust fund “problem” starts to self correct as there wont need to be a payout for those that died.

I am so scared of zombies now. My dogs hated me for a week afterward I watched it. Apparently my screaming disrupted their sleep.

But, makes ya think about long term effects of drugs.

The formula is always the same: create alarm, bring a vaccine to market, then scare governments into buying billions of dollars worth of vaccines they don’t need.

I am sure that is why the two they tested it on got the shots out side of the county...
