I'm not worried. If Ebola tried to fly over here our air force would shoot it down.

Hopefully this works out as an effective treatment for Ebola.

I'm mistrustful. The UK government stockpiled tamiflu because drug trials said it was the solution to bird flu. A few years on, and studies showed that paracetamol was more effective than tamiflu at combating bird flu. Basically somebody somewhere got lobbied, and millions were spent on a useless drug. Z-map works, but takes weeks to get a few doses. When somebody comes out and says their new fancy drug works and will have a few hundred thousand doses, I start getting sceptical.

If it works, then great. I just hope somebody doesn't make millions off of something that isn't going to stop people from dying. Kinda like that guy who sold fake bomb detectors to the army.
