I was working as a nurse when AIDS first was coming into the spotlight.

Remember the activists who said there wouldn’t be a cure for AIDS until everyone was exposed to it?

This reminds me of that. Until now, Ebola has been a disease that only people in limited areas of Africa could get. Now it’s here in America and part of me says it’s on purpose, because once we dirty racists in THIS country are scared of it, the cure will be found. Or so the anti-racism crowd thinks.

Little do they know, while the protesters are swarming New York leaving trash all over to be cleaned up, and pooping on police car doors, all the conservative-pro-life-Christian racists are donating money and working and going to Africa themselves to take care of people with Ebola, and funding the organizations that have found a cure.

I guess now some of those same people will have to break laws to grow the tobacco needed to make more of this drug, since I’m sure that somehow growing tobacco is regulated by the federal government - right?

Yup.

Like my White racist friends who went to help in New Orleans after Katrina.

A question about this treatment is “How much can Fujifilm ramp up production and how soon?”

The nurse mentioned in the earlier post HAS BEEN CURED and SENT HOME from the hospital according to MSN UK news. She was admitted to the hospital Sept. 19

Japan has stockpiled enough of that drug (the fuji compound) to treat 20K patients.

They offered that stockpile to WHO over a month ago.

Since then, crickets...

The fuji compound and the anti-hiv compound that Liberian doctor used are close analogs of one another structurally.

C 19 and 24.

Looks like there HAS been a human trial with the Fuji compound.

That is the private sector...

They have to literally grow the plant for the drug..

It’s not a quicky process..
