NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

The drug given to the two missionaries that are now recovered was also given to the Spanish priest that died. Two patients isn't a large enough sample size to know whether or not the drug cured the two or if they would have done fine on there own. Ebola patients sent to Germany that received good supportive care only had a 25% mortality rate. Those in Africa without good supportive care have a 55 to 90% mortality rate.

That particular drug only cured 43% of the animals in the pre clinicals. It's not a good choice based on the animal studies. I'm still amazed they chose it. They must have wanted a drug from a US company. It's the only thing that made sense. The ebola drugs that are furthest ahead have been developed in Canada.

Bottom line, it isn't known whether or not that other drug cured those two or not.

NNVC should simply stick to the flu for now. No need to deviate and waste time. They'll get a much larger sample size to deal with during flu season and the results would be definitive.

They were actually trying to convince everyone that they would turn their attention back to ebola for the sake of all mankind but while they were yappin' about it someone else actually stepped up and cured the two medical aid workers.

Done deal. The hot air hasn't even settled yet from NNVC talking about it. But hey, they'll probably be happy to talk about curing something else if they can just dilute the stock a little more.

Just a couple of weeks back NNVC was mankinds only hope to survive this incurable virus. They've been just about to go to tox testing any day for years now, and in a few days some other company stepped up and BAM! cured 'em with a real drug. And it probably didn't even have any magical little nano robots in it.
ROFL!
