One chance to beat Ebola!
Please put pressure on the manufacturers of the anti-Ebola drug - ZMapp to share the science and production details with all pharmaceutical companies capable of manufacturing it!
Why is this important?
The Ebola outbreak is worsening by the day. So far close to 4 thousand people have died in West Africa and single victims of the disease have already appeared in US, Europe and Australia.
The buildup of response from politicians and international community appears to be slow and painfully inadequate.
The ideas like screening travelling public at airports is NOT GOING TO WORK!
There is, however, experimental drug, which offers some hope of cure - ZMapp, unfortunately all available doses have already been used and manufacturing of new doses is slow and too low to make the difference to already affected areas.
Surely, now is the time to put pressure on the Manufacturer to share the science with ALL capable pharmaceutical companies all over the world to take up the production immediately in parallel with each other.
There are obviously questions of patents and protection of profits ect. but even at this stage the containment of this crisis is going to cost global community, potentially billions of dollars, so the financial solution can be found.
The decision of this importance can only be taken at the highest levels of power and in conjunction with American partners, since the manufacturer is an American company.
Please support this call to the UK PM, to take necessary steps to make this happen!
