Interestingly, I read that there was only one dose of this, and the doctor (Brantley) gave it to the volunteer (Nancy Writebol).
I had read that doctors a few years ago (maybe in Nigeria?) had tried the blood transfusion system and they thought that it had worked. It’s basically the same as any treatment for a disease like this, based on antibodies in the blood of a survivor, but without the intermediate culturing and refining phase.
However, if it’s true that the doctor did not receive the vaccine is doing better while the patient who is doing worse is the one did receive the vaccine, I think the article was not exactly on target.
Furthermore, the doctor was younger, and the two were opposite sexes, so it would be necessary to see what happens with two comparable subjects (i.e., both white males in their 30s or 40s, or both white females in their 50s or 60s).
That is what I was lead to think as well. Now it sounds like there was 3 vials? One for Brantly and 2 used on Writebol?
WBT in Charlotte reported they both took the drug. No link yet. 11PM newscast
