Lvus,if as you reported tox materials for BASI were ready two weeks ago, why haven't they been shipped? Is NNVC sacrificing the possible while pursuing the perfect? If Seymour and Diwan have a plan here I wish they would let their investors in on it. This has moved far beyond ridiculous. I have been invested in this company for nine years and my patience and my money are running very thin.

Another_voice_2, keep winning tennis matches for now. It will be just weeks and EbolaCide II will demonstrate what it can do, fast acting, destroy Ebola virus machinery, in the trillions, in a matter of hours. I do have confidence in the genius of Dr. Anil Diwan.

My post this morning began with Leifsmith but I'm sure he knows it was directed to the "big government" mouthpiece that wrote the article, claiming it is not "big government's" fault. But if our 'big government" is betting on Big Pharma vaccine mules you bet I am going to fault the bunch of tin horn dictators.

If the "wild bunch" is hoofs and all into our economy, with all sorts of laws and regulations, you bet I am going to fault the control freaks that came up with the ill conceived laws.

Technology companies were hit hardest. Apple dropped nearly 4 percent following its announcement late Wednesday that it had pulled a software update which prevented users from making phone calls. Others complained that they bent their new iPhones by sitting on them. Apple lost $3.88 to $97.87 in heavy trading.

"Two economic reports out Thursday were little help. Claims for unemployment benefits crept up last week. But the less volatile four-week average fell. A separate report said businesses orders for equipment plunged last month, mainly a result of falling orders for commercial aircraft.

If "big government" imposes demands on the private sectors of the economy, it imposes them on us as well. If the economy shrinks thanks to "big government" management we should not be surprised if government must cut budgets, big time.

The saving grace of the Affordable Care Act was stopped from going into effect this year. They are saving the impact of that law for next year, 2015. Why would our government do something like that? Hmm.

Why has the WHO been unable to assume an assertive lead role? Budget cuts?

The WHO's response has been abysmal. It's just shameful. Yes, WHO is a financial shadow of its former self, operating on an inflation-adjusted budget that is less than it had in 1990. The WHO's legislative body, the World Health Assembly, has consistently voted to downgrade the institution's capacity to deal with outbreaks and infectious disease in favor of increasing commitment to noncommunicable disease programs such as cancer and heart disease.

When asked "Where is the WHO?" Margaret Chan, the director-general, said, "We are just a normative agency." In other words, the WHO's job was to set standards for health, but not to actually intervene. That represented a very significant change over prior WHO policies, and in this case, since [no one intervened] except an NGO, MSF, it put the world in a very awkward situation.

Now the WHO is racing to catch up, to have some leadership role, and there are many institutions that want the WHO in the driver's seat. But institutionally, and in terms of personnel, skills, and budget, it's not the kind of WHO most people imagine. The moment for the WHO to claim a [credible] leadership role has already passed. I'm afraid [it] looks incompetent.

In a few weeks EbolaCide II should prove itself effective against the deadly virus and it will be WHO's opportunity to redeem itself. That opportunity will call for action to quickly employ low toxicity EbolaCide II in clinical trials and then quickly to West Africa.

Is there a threat, as some experts have said, of the virus mutating into an airborne contagion?

It would be a pretty profound leap in mutation. To put this in perspective, we know the virus has already made more than 300 mutations in the last five months. And that's significant. However, most of the changes have made no difference whatsoever in the ability of the virus to perform its biological function [in regard to its transmissibility].

I'm less worried about the virus becoming airborne than I am about it being able to outmaneuver any vaccine we throw at it. My concern is that Ebola is mutating and that, even if we find a vaccine, it may have very limited efficacy because of the virus's capacity to constantly change its code.

And that is how "big government" trashes $140 million in "Big Pharma" vaccine mules! Did I mention $400 million spent on small pox vaccine that theoretically will work? They are betting on mules like there is no tomorrow! And no "quid pro quo". (ahem).

Help from NanoViricides, Inc. in the making and soon on its way, not for next year 2015, but for this year, 2014. Who will be writing the peer review article on EbolaCide II effectiveness?
