9. Would this drug stop the Ebola epidemic?
If it were widely available, it certainly couldn’t hurt. An effective Ebola drug could help doctors treat the deadly virus, which is killing about 60% of the people infected in West Africa. But a vaccine would be a much more effective tool in stopping this, and future, epidemics.
Vaccines are given to healthy people to prevent them from ever becoming infected. One challenge with Ebola, experts say, is that companies don’t believe they could make much money from developing a vaccine, so few companies show interest.

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.
abeg make una bring this vacine i use God beg una
For Gods sake, US should kindly. Release drug to enable the victim$ live a little longer while waiting for WHO authorities. Save Nigeria pls .
Fanastic, with the millions floating around profit should not be the motive
Saving if lifes should be the paramount thing than profits. Pls come to the aids of the masses
Pure truth, may Allah purify our soul all from dis EVD
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!
