”Well if Bushie had created a virus to “control” certain undesirables, one should expect that the bushman would ALSO have prepared an antidote in case an unfortunate “desirable” was infected….especially if that “desirable” was a front line agent in the scheme….
After successful field tests of the antidote one would expect that some tests need to be done in the “home” environment -just in case……”
Bushie I’m tired saying how bright you are. During the 1990’s the MOSSAD poisoned Khaled Mashal in Dubai, we think, and the UAE government made the Israelis deliver the antidote in exchange for the return of the agents that poisoned Mashal. This is standard practice in the biological warfare, and that is what this is, trade.
You are too knowledgeable for these minions.
PATCHY YOU ALSO DONT UNDERSTAND ANY VIROLOGY
BUSH TEA IS NOT ANY MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN ANY BODY
YOU ARE MIXING APPLES WID ONIONS
CHEMICALS AND VIRUSES ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
YOU GETTING INTO PHARMACOLOGY NOW AND AGAIN YOUARE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.
GO AND DiG SOME TUNNELS MAN!
ham-ass needs you
this is bare sport man
@GP
Yes GP you are right but we were talking in common use language. But yes, a biological agent is much different to a virus.
thats right patchy with biological agents you can BE SUCCESSFUL IF YOU block only a few receptor sites really
and usually you try to use an agent that binds tightly to the receptor site and that has to be replaced rather than just kick out the agonist
an antidote or antagonist is much easier to synthesize
VIRUSES ARE BAD BEHAVED REBELS AND CAN GO AWRY AT ANY OF THE SEVEN STEPS I MENTIONED ABOVE
VIROLOGY IS NOT EASY AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE AMAZING COMPLEXITY OF VIRUSES
@BushTea
I am not in the habit of engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. Your response consists of stringing together words to support a dubious hypothesis and consist of “what if” scenarios. In other words you are talking shite as usual, but I suppose GP got you concussed from those zingers that he has tossed your way.
BTW I notice how you frame your thinking as complex on this page and intellectual on others, someone should tell the Emperor that he is naked.

SIR SARGE SIR! HAVE TO ADDRESS YOU BY YOUR RANK SIR
I THOUGHT YOU BOWLED OFF BREAKSI DIDNT KNOW YOU HAVE THE CAROM BALL AND THE DOSRA TOO. MURDER
IT IS TIME BLOGGERS ON BU EXPOSE THE JACKASS FOR HIS PERENNIAL BULL SHITTING .
LET HIM CONTRADICT ME TODAY OR AGAIN
BUSHTEA
IT SEEMS THAT YOUR WHACKER NEEDS NEW “BUSHINGS” ah lie?
Interesting ..but not surprising to hear of a serum used to save the missionaries lives which goes to the heart of my argument .stating..that an agressive method of saving lives was needed in africa..be that as it may the handiwork of nature forces delivered a pre empted strike . one which undoubtly would go further in saving the lives of the poor black africans who have indeed suffered in silence for more than thirty years. Now all u jac..asses go figure..as for the conspiracy theory .which others stated was a part of my comments..ac takes such in stride mindful of the fact that there are always those who would find ways to grind opinions to a halt when all else fails ..i stand by every word i say having no regrets..my hands are folded..
@Tvirus |August 3, 2014 at 10:27 PM “Modern Black people evolved in Africa about 400,000 years ago, and have lived there ever since. Yet AIDS only shows up 55 years ago in the Congo (1959), and Ebola shows up 38 years ago (1976), also in the Congo. Where was these virus diseases in the first 399,950 years of modern mans existence in Africa?”
Dear Tvirus:
All other people in the world came from these people.
Human beings have only learned to read and write about 10,000 years ago.
If Ebola or another similar disease had occured 400,000 years ago or even 20,000 years ago and somebody had done a write-up (but since nobody could read and write there was no write up) do you think that anybody now living could decipher what would have been written?
Do you know that there are languages less that 10,000 years old and nobody knows how to read those languages?
Do you know that languages are always being born, and always dying?
So yes we lose a lot of human history, because there is nobody to tell us that history. Some stories are never told, some are told in languages that we no longer understand.

BU stands by our inquiry about a ‘secret serum’ which has been administered to two White doctors confirmed to have contracted Ebola. Why there was no decision taken to give to a few Black Ebola volunteers.
CNN: Secret serum likely saved two Americans infected with Ebola
David
HAS IT OCCURrED TO YOU THAT THIS COMPANY WAS PROBABLY WORKING ON AN ORPHAN DRUG WHICH HAS NOT GONE THROUGH THE SEVERAL STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT OF A DRUG. as yet? hence —“SECRET SERUM”
THERE IS NO MYSTERY HERE.
THIS IS THE NORMAL WAY DRUGS ARE DEVELOPED
sorry you wont be expected to know these things, but these things can be known without academic trophies Sir
I AWAIT THE VARIOUS STUPID RESPONSES FROM THE ILLITERATES ON BU NOW
should be great fun
Again BU notes the following how the experimental drug was made available to the two American doctors extracted from the FOX report above:
The process by which the medication was made available to Brantly and Writebol is highly unusual.
It may have fallen under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s “compassionate use” regulation, which allows access to investigational drugs outside clinical trials.
Getting approval for compassionate use is often long and laborious but in the case of Brantly and Writebol, they received the medication within seven to 10 days of their exposure to the Ebola virus.
On July 30, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, an arm of the military responsible for any chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive threats, allotted additional funding to MAPP Biopharmaceutical due to “promising results.”

@ David
Of course you would know that this is just a happy coincidence that this ‘new’ serum just happens to be available at the exact time needed for these two…..and could be approved for use, packed, shipped and delivered to Liberia in a matter of days….
…then again, what kind of world would we have if most people refused to believe what they are told by authorities…. 🙂
…as for Bushie and his household….
Coincidence shiite ….Ha ha Ha Ha
Orphan Drugs
Drugs for rare diseases—so-called orphan drugs— can be difficult to research, develop, and market. Proof of drug safety and efficacy in small populations must be established, but doing so effectively is a complex process. For example, clinical testing of drugs in children is severely restricted, even for common diseases, and a number of rare diseases affect the very young.
Furthermore, because basic research in the pathophysiology and mechanisms of rare diseases tends to receive little attention or funding in both academic and industrial settings, recognized rational targets for drug action may be relatively few.
In addition, the cost of developing a drug can greatly influence decisions and priorities when the target population is relatively small.
Orphan Drugs are thus drugs that are effective for certain illnesses but for some reason are not profitable for manufacturers to produce.
To reinforce concerns posted by some on BU, others around the world are asking the same questions. It is normal to ask questions when is comes to Big Pharma and manufacturing drugs. Here is a snippet the result of Google that is of interest:
Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian employee of the government, died in Lagos after flying from Liberia – en route to the US. On Monday it was announced that his doctor had fallen ill.
“As of today, one of the doctors that treated the late Mr Sawyer has tested positive for the Ebola virus,” said Onyebuchi Chukwu, from the Nigerian health ministry. Of 70 people who were under surveillance, eight had been “quarantined at an isolation ward provided by the Lagos state government,” he added.
The news comes after health workers said drugs that could fight Ebola are not particularly complicated but pharmaceutical firms see no economic reason to invest in making them because the virus’ few victims are poor Africans.
Now that the BU household has been infected by a Google rush here is what a leading UK public health official had to say and quotes in a prominent UK daily. We note he is a doctor and presumably seized with knowledge in the medical science.
here the jackass bray again in his ignorance as he pretends to KNOW EVATING BOUT EVATING
many drugs are in different stages of development daily, perennially
many of them are discarded for one reason or other
it is not unreasonable for a serum being used in the search for a disease to be available
this is quite normal
what is serum jackass? blood centrifuged from patients
why do you think the preparation was available only as a serum fool
A followup comment of interest for Telegraph artcile posted above:
But while his comments are perhaps the strongest intervention on the topic so far by a medical professional in the stalled Ebola market, they are by no means the first.
Last week Dr Daniel Bausch, an Ebola specialist at Tulane University in New Orleans, told the US website Vox that there had been “significant developments” in fighting the disease but that “economics” stood in the way.He said: “These outbreaks affect the poorest communities on the planet. Although they do create incredible upheaval, they are relatively rare events. So if you look at the interest of pharmaceutical companies, there is not huge enthusiasm.”
western drug companies have no reason to cure the deadly Ebola virus because it mostly affects “powerless minority groups” AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO DEVELOP ORPHAN DRUGS
PHARMACOLOGICAL TEND TO MAKE DRUGS THAT THEY THINK WILL BE PROFITABLE TO THEM
some firms do make orphan drugs
BU admits we don’t know evating bout anything but here is what we know. Professionals in the medical arena have concerns about how Ebola is and has been managed since manifesting in Africa 4 decades ago. Maybe some of us become plugged into conspiracy positions – so what? It is a normal human condition to become emotional when human suffering raises its head and the only goddamn reason is because of money and greed. BU is NOT a university forum, we are mainly a group of regular Joes and Janes clashing heads about this and that, it is NOT a place for the thin-skinned and that is for sure. BU will continue to exercise our judgement to maintain a forum where ALL are bloody welcome.
aint it amazing that poor liitle GP saying the same as the LEADING DOCTORS THAT THESE ILITERATES GOOGLING UP.

@David

Are you trying to say that the US Gov’t or the Pharmaceutical company should provide a drug which is still in its experimental stages to a mass group of people? Do you know that there are many people in both the US and Canada who hear about drugs that show potential to cure certain diseases but are denied access to same because they haven’t been fully tested? Given the tone of this discussion the “know it alls” would be the first to say that the US Gov’t is using Black people as guinea pigs for “Big Pharma”.
‘This is similar to how they combatted and restrained the SARS outbreak.”
You really believe that. Don’t you see they are playing cat and mouse with us to guage our responses. Make no bones about it, SARS like Ebola will rise again if it is in the interest of the New World Order.
DAVID SIR, HI BOG MASTER LORD (PARDON THE SARCASM)
DIDNT YOU SAY THAT BU IS FOR ROBUST DEBATE SIR?
DIDNT YOU SAY WE CHALLENGE ON BU- THATS WHAT WE DO HERE?
DID YOU MEAN THAT ONLY CERTAIN FOLK COULD CHALLENGE AND MOCK SIR, OR DOES THAT APPLY TO EVA BODY SIR?
SIR IF BUSHTEA THREATENED TO FIRE UP HIS WHACKER AND MOWER
SHOULD I NOT DEFEND MYSELF SIR. YOU KNOW SAH HOW THIN MY SKIN IS SAH. LOL ROFLMAO
PLEASE SAH I BEG YA LET ME CHALLENGE AND MOCK TOO SAH
JUST LIKE I HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED AND MOCKED FOR YEARS——–ESPECIALLY WHEN I WAS CORRECT
I JUST DECIDE NOT TO SULK AWAY FOR A YEAR THIS TIME SAH AND
DIDNT YOU SAY YOU WERE COMMITED TO ALOW BU TO BE A SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT FOR ME SAH? CATCH THE BASTARD BY SURPRISE SAH.

YOU ARE THIN SKINNED BECAUSE YOU CAN REASON AND CHALLENGE
YOU OR I HAVE NO RIGHT TO CHALLENGE THE CHALLENGERS ON BU SIR
Let us break it down for you Sarge.
In one of the postings above the point was made that dispensing an experimental drug requires a maze of red tape to be negotiated. In the case of the two US based doctors who have miraculously recovered from Ebola presumably after being ‘offered’ he experimental drug on July 30? Black people have been giving their lives in recent weeks and days, why not a similar offer based on ‘compassion’? Just asking questions and challenging Sarge.

Initially It was thought that there wasn’t enough serum for two people, but it turned out that there was sufficient, in any event the US Gov’t wouldn’t provide an experimental drug to a mass group of people.
I wrote that contagious diseases are just a plane ride away from everyone’s world and it was only a matter of time before the disease hits the USA, now ABC is reporting of a possible patient in NYC.
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/york-city-hospital-treating-potential-ebola-patient/story?id=24838232
Here is some more bedside reading on the Ebola saga playing out. Let the lowly BU household apply a likkle BU questioning. why a drug reported not to have entered the clinical phase was offered to the two US based doctors described by some as a hail Mary pass. Did the FDA approve and if yes what was the overriding consideration.
Remember we are in the BU rum shop, show working for 10 marks.
A Tale Of Two Drugs: Mapp Vs. Tekmira
ZMapp is not even far enough along to have entered the clinical trial phase, but it may have been chosen in this case instead of the promising experimental drug Tekmira because an ongoing Tekmira trial was just halted by the FDA.
That doesn’t mean that all research on Tekmira is over, however. The ongoing trial was halted because healthy patients showed a problematic immune response. But the FDA could still approve a new trial of the drug in sick patients, as the risk-benefit equation would be changed. A potential benefit of surviving a disease that kills 60-90% of patients could outweigh the risks of many potentially problematic side effects.

I DONT KNOW WHY YOU RESPONDED SEEING THAT YOU “CANT SEE THE GREY”
1 that there wasn’t enough serum for two people, WAS ALL OVER THE NEWS
2 in any event the US Gov’t wouldn’t provide an experimental drug to a mass group of people. ITS UNETHICAL AND NOT THE PROTOCOL
IF THEY HAD “ENOUGH” SERUM AND HAD GIVEN IT TO BLACKS WITH UNTOWARD EFFECTS CAN YOU IMAGINE THE OUTCRY?
@Sargeant
BU was careful to qualify the statement by suggesting volunteers would have to be the basis for administering any experimental drug. Where has the pharmaceutical Company been quoted about quantities available? Please post it.

question Why was the monoclonal antibodies taken from Ebola infected monkeys being tested? WAS IT TO TREAT EBOLA OR FOR THE INTENDED USE OF THiS DRUGS
i am not a conspiracy theorist but the serum came from a PharM lab in the USA TAKEN FROM MONKEYS IN aFRICA.
i HONESTLY DO NOT THINK THAT THEY WERE WORKING ON A VACCINE FOR USE IN AFRICA
MAPP Biopharmaceutical Awarded Funding for Ebola Drug
JULY 30, 2014
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) has announced intentions to award a sole source modification to current contract HDTRA1-13-C-0018 to MAPP Biopharmaceutical in support of Ebola countermeasures.
The award is a follow-on to a current contract which focuses on development of a monoclonal antibody cocktail for Ebola Zaire. The proposed work comprises specific, additional tasks which are justified by the promising results from the work already conducted under the current contract.
The additional funding will be used to prepare and submit an Investigational New Drug (IND) application package to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ZMappTM and to provide sufficient quantity of the therapeutic to perform a Phase 1 clinical safety study.
These additional tasks will be performed within the current period of performance of 12 months. The work being added will be done so on a cost-plus fixed-fee basis
