Exclusive: MSF should have called for Ebola vaccine earlier, says aid group veteran

(Reuters) - Medecins Sans Frontiers "wasted time" by waiting too long to call for vaccines to fight an unprecedented outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, a veteran of the medical charity told Reuters.

The group's response to the epidemic which has so far killed more than 5,000 people has been widely praised by governments and the World Health Organization. While Western donors dithered and other aid groups pulled out, MSF deployed hundreds to the Ebola "hot zones" and treated more than 3,000 patients.

"We wasted time before speaking about a vaccine and treatments... It's very hard to imagine controlling this epidemic now without a vaccine."

But as Al G. would say, there are some inconvenient truths here!

1) Scientists in the U.S. are not receiving any samples of Ebola...

(Reuters) - Scientists across the United States say they cannot obtain samples of Ebola, complicating efforts to understand how the virus is mutating and develop new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics.

The problems reflect growing caution by regulators and transport companies about handling Ebola as well as the limited resources of West African countries which are struggling to help thousands of infected citizens.

Ten scientists from eight major research institutions contacted by Reuters reported they were unable to get Ebola samples in recent months.

2) If Ebola virus is mutating fast in the wild of West Africa, faster than Influenza Type A then, it is fast rendering vaccines ineffective...

According to Charles Chiu, a microbiologist and infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco, the best experts in the field don't even know if Ebola has mutated beyond recognition because tracking has deteriorated. As it currently stands, samples of the virus are nowhere to be found, which poses a major public health threat.

"No one really knows right now what has the virus mutated to or if it has mutated," stated Chiu to Reuters. "We're not going to be able to determine in advance whether or not [Ebola] has changed to a form where it might evade diagnostic assays or might render current vaccines or drugs ineffective."

But wait, we do have a cure according to NBC news and other network news:

Ebola In US Cured, Craig Spencer Released From Hospital, America All Clear [Video]

But wait, we don't have a cure:

A cure for human Ebola infection? Not just yet.

What does this recent advance mean? Can we expect a post-exposure treatment for humans? Or better yet, a vaccine? Scientists caution this is certainly a big step forward, but many challenges remain before the treatment can be applied to an outbreak in humans. For example, the amount of antibodies needed to treat a larger group of people would be difficult to manufacture.

For a first-person account of the initial detection of the Ebola virus, listen to this interview from NPR's Talk of the Nation with Peter Piot, a member of the 1976 team who first identified Ebola, as he discusses his memories of the discovery and his long career in virology.

However, if we do have the Ebola cure, why invoque emergency powers and why the executive ruling?

Obama Indemnifies Gov't Contractors From Damages Arising from Importing Ebola to US

In other words, if a Company A employee contracts Ebola while working in West Africa, brings the disease back to the United States, is not quarantined and ends up infecting members of the general public, Company A is protected from any damages arising from lawsuits by these secondary victims.

According to the USAID spokesperson, employees of these contracted companies "provide essential services, including medical and non-medical management of Ebola patients."

In his memorandum, Obama justified his actions by citing Public Law 85-804, which allows the president to give any federal agency or department connected to national security the authority to enter into, amend or modify contracts with private companies in order to “facilitate the national defense.”

Seems to me anyone coming from West Africa must enter a mandatory quarantine. What do they mean by "...is not quarantined..."?, is the President ruling by decree because he is a powermonger and/or is he getting ready for a nearing nastier version of the Ebola virus here in the U.S.? But how can anyone claim readiness when commercial flights from the hotbeds of Ebola in West Africa to the U.S. are not banned...? or the porous borders are not sealed?

African nations including Kenya, Zambia, and South Africa make up the bulk of the countries that have instituted some kind of ban, and now that countries on the other side of the Atlantic have begun imposing restrictions, calls for the United States to follow suit have intensified.

Here is the complete list of nations with bans or significant travel restrictions:??

Angola?
Botswana?
Cameroon?
Chad?
Colombia (South America)
Congo (DRC)?
Equatorial Guinea?
Gabon?
Gambia?
Ivory Coast
Kenya?
Lesotho?
Madagascar?
Malawi?
Mauritius?
Morocco
Mozambique?
Namibia?
Nigeria?
Rwanda?
St. Lucia
Senegal?
South Africa?
South Sudan?
Swaziland?
Tanzania?
Togo?
Zambia ?
Zimbabwe?

House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday urged President Barack Obama to consider a temporary ban after two American nurses contracted the virus from a Liberian man who flew to Dallas to visit family, according to CBS News.

Perhaps those that claim Ebola virus outbreaks are waning would like to take a stab at explaining U.S. Ebola readiness and executive ruling?

AP IMPACT: If Ebola batters US, we are not ready

The U.S. health care apparatus is so unprepared and short on resources to deal with the deadly Ebola virus that even small clusters of cases could overwhelm parts of the system, according to an Associated Press review of readiness at hospitals and other components of the emergency medical network.

http://news.yahoo.com/ap-impact-ebola-readiness-lacking-many-ways-160115821.html

The analysis was just for Ebola, not for Enterovirus D68, Dengue, and other viral gifts from our current government lawless ways to illegal immigration.

And that so-called Ebola cure/treatment, it is expensive!!!

Bill for Ebola Adds Up as Care Costs $1,000 an Hour

The care provided Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan may have cost as much as half a million dollars, a bill Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas is unlikely to ever collect.

Duncan had been in isolation in the hospital for nine days. "If they recognize that he has no money they will clearly just write it off as charity care," Anderson said in a telephone interview yesterday before Duncan's death was announced.
