Still Waters Posted July 31, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2015 An Ebola vaccine provided 100-percent protection in a field trial in hard-hit Guinea, researchers and officials said Friday, mooting "the beginning of the end" of the killer West African outbreak. The world is "on the verge of an effective Ebola vaccine," the World Health Organization (WHO) said, hailing the results from the first efficacy test of the VSV-ZEBOV vaccine among people living in a high-danger zone. "This is an extremely promising development," added WHO chief Margaret Chan. https://uk.news.yaho...91.html#d0c7QuL 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalmoxis Posted July 31, 2015 #12 Share Posted July 31, 2015 That is great. But really, sanitation and proper corpse handling seems to do a great job of preventing this virus in the United States. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionmark Posted July 31, 2015 #13 Share Posted July 31, 2015 As I said before: German TV (ARD) just reports that the vaccine was known to be effective in monkeys 10 years ago... It took some Ebola to get to the "civilization" before they got it off the shelf again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
