America Reveals Secret Ebola Cure! Experimental Drug 'Reverses' Infection in Sick Missionaries
An experimental drug for Ebola called ZMapp may likely have saved the lives of the 2 US aid workers, Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who contracted the virus while working in Liberia.
According to reports, three vials containing the experimental drug stored at subzero temperatures were flown into Liberia last week in a last-ditch effort to save the two American missionary workers.
The drug appears to have worked, and Dr. Kent Brantly's and Nancy Writebol's conditions significantly improved after receiving the medication, sources say.
Could the drug explain why the American Government allowed the aid workers to be flown home, because they were already cured?
Also, while I'm happy for the aid workers, and glad there's a cure in sight, I want to know if this drug meant for Americans alone? There are people dying in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea who could do with this drug.
