WHY IS THIS MAN LYING, THE CONCERN IS NOT TAKING THE EBOLA DRUG BUT THE INJECTION OF THE PROTO TYPE EBOLA VIRUS INTO THE TRIAL CANDIDATES BEFORE BEING GIVEN THE DRUG.

WE DON'T CARE IF THIS SO CALLED LEAD SCIENTIST AND HIS ENTIRE FAMILY WILL VOLUNTEER FOR THE VACCINE TRIAL. COMMON SENSE (WHICH IS NOT COMMON TO OUR INTELLECTUALS ) DICTATES THAT THE TRIALS SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN IN COUNTRIES WHERE THE DISEASE HAD BEEN RECORDED AND NOT IN GHANA WHERE A SINGLE CASE OF THE DISEASE IS YET TO BE RECORDED. COMMON SENSE IS INDEED NOT COMMON.

When you say "common sense" you make me laugh aloud because you have no freaking idea what you are talking about. Why don't you just shush with the yabbering and leave those who actually know what the hell they are talking about, to make meaningful and correct contributions. How can the efficacy of the vaccine to elicit preventive immunity be evaluated among a population that is already compromised by the actual disease and showing varying levels of differing post infection immune reactions? Stop being loud and ignorant.

Who confused you that the vaccine candidate even contains the Ebola virus? You don't have to talk just because you can......You don't have to post anything just because you have a computer and an Internet connection.

the fact that a lead scientist has offered himself for the Ebola vaccine test does not mean that all Ghanaians should follow suit. i find it very difficult to see well learned people will argue over this very Ebola issue.could it be that ghanaians are loosing their senses to the effect that anything that comes from the west must be accepted here in ghana? in any case how does the name come about and how were they able to come out with the Ebola vaccine if not for the fact that people want to make money and also to make a fool out of people living in the so call developing world....

Binka, you own test should be enough. All you have to do is to take it multiple time. We should be able to draw conclusions from your multiple injections.

Clinical trial is not new.But if the Vaccine is already Safe,What is the reason for the Trial ?.
Again,Clinical Trials is Voluntary and not by Force, Lies/Deceptions,in the
21st Century.The TB,Syphilis,etc deceptive Era in the1950's and1960's
is gone forever!.
Those of us whom were unknowingly deceived that there was a Flu coming to take the TB Trial in the 1950/1960s
,when you travel outside Africa and you go to the Hospital,you are diagnosed TB Positive,They put you in isolation(you alone in the room),And. Drs wear masks as if on the Moon, before they come to you ,trying to
Treat you in Vain.1-2 Spit,1-2 Spit, until one day an elderly Dr came around to ask,where do you come from:U answered -West Africa(either. Liberia or Ghana),before the elderly
Dr informed the other Drs to let go you; b'cos you are not Sick but the Country you came from is where TB Clinical Trials/Test was done that is the reason why you test positive,
Anyway

What happened to the wise and good Ghana I know? Unite and fight against the "devil's" plan to test Ebola virus on you. We don't care which scientist or president tries it, we are against testing it on the people of GH.
