While usually eschewing any opportunity to appear cynical (cough! cough!), I think
it’s also important
to note that while ebola has been around and known for some years, the vast
resources of the allopathic
medical industry have not been turned on it because it was confined to obscure
corners of Africa.
For the most part, though there were isolated researchers working on
vaccines to combat it. One team in particular is right here at Arizona State
University (ASU) who developed an effective vaccine using the leaves of tobacco
plants as a host, similar to using horses in the 19th century to develop
smallpox vaccine and chicken eggs currently for flu vaccines.
