6. Will the drug be made available to other Ebola patients?
It’s unclear. Doctors “cannot start using untested drugs in the middle of an outbreak, for various reasons,” World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says scientists have to be careful about assuming this drug will work in other patients as it appears to have worked in Brantly.
“Having worked with administering antibodies for people for a really long time, that would be distinctly unusual,” he told CNN. “As we all know in medicine … you have to withhold judgment.”

Please save our soul from the dreaded ebola disease by releasing the Zmappp serum to nigeria.
Zmapp hurry, Come to the aid of west Africa less Ebola virus disease kills us all
I don’t think you guys should wait for this zmapp drug.. I know something that will work! Trust me. infected people should get zam-zam water(Muslims holy water). pray over it and drink/bath with it. uninfected people could also do the same. Trust me it works!
Very right, Allaah says ” I have not created any ailment except with the cure” Zam Zam water heals whatever you use it for by the power of the Creator.

The United States Department of Defense funded lots of Scientist the beginning of this year to make a cure for Ebola. In the middle of the year there’s a huge outbreak out of nowhere. Open your eyes people!!!! Read the article again and pay close attention to the dates. The US is so corrupt!
