The Canadian Public Health Agency has offered to release 1000 dose
of a made-in-Canada experimental Ebola virus vaccine known as VSV-EBOV
which has never been tested on humans but has shown to be effective in
the treatment of the disease in animals.
In a statement released yesterday August 12th, the Canadian
Health Minister Rona Ambrose said the World Health Organization's Director
general, Margaret Chan, has
approved of the donation.
The Minister also revealed that Canada will be donating
$185,000 to the World Health Organization for the prevention and
control of the deadly virus in Africa. Canada has only 1500 of the
experimental vaccine and would be sending 1000 of it to Africa. Continue...
"I was pleased to offer the experimental vaccine developed by
Canadian researchers as a global resource to help fight this outbreak,"
she said, adding that between 800 and 1,000 doses would be donated to
the WHO.
The Minister in the statement added that "Canada feels this experimental vaccine is a global resource, so in response we are sharing it with the international community, while keeping a small supply in Canada."

The news comes hours after the World Health Organization said a panel of experts advised that it would be ethical to use untested drugs and vaccines in this raging epidemic, which is several times larger than any previous outbreak.

Thank you Lord
End of ebola very soon.
Its a good step! The lord will not forsake his people. By the grace of God, we shall collectively conquer Ebola Psalm 46:1. BishopDammy#
I'm not trying to sound ungrateful but this is ridiculous. Sending us vaccine dat has only been tested on animals. Pls we need the Zmapp for now, atleast we are a bit sure of its efficacy to some extent. Africans are not lab rat. We can accept the money. USA should send de Zmapp to Nigeria for now. Dats all I can say. I'm out. ***CATCH ME IF U CAN***
The Law of One! Lovely!

Your comment will be visible after approval
Good gesture from the Canadians, but never being tested on humans before now is my only hitch, but all the same it's better than nothing. Hope and pray it works..!!

Thanks Canada for coming to Africa's aid, cos Lord knows African scientists are light years away from developing anything, smh.
Hope it's available free to all who need it minus politics, tribalism or wickedness.

May God really bless you. Weldone
Zmapp was tested on Animals and it worked then it was used on humans so this vaccine has also been tested on animals and it worked we pray it works also on humans.
it's a very good gesture. it is just unfortunate that it hasn't been tested on humans and Africans will have to play the role of lab rats. anyways like our people say "at all at all nai bad pass"
Ode noone is catching you and you're always out but we'll see you on another post. Can you be out of this blog forever? Razzoid
Were u sleeping when you were reading this article??!! Can't you see where it says the drug has been proven to be effective????
Which America, USA , the same America who refused to give Nigeria Zmapp. I beg forget about them. God bless Canada for this kind gesture.
For US to have Zmapp for Ebola and Canada a vaccine shows they have been working on this for a long time yet Africans who Ebola affects directly has nothing to bring to the table it's a shame. We Africans should be grateful because all we know how to do is acquire wealth and power.
I pray and hop it wrks. God bless us
Age and timing. Thank me never
Hmm.. God help us all oh.. We africans are now used for drug testing** lol** God bless Canada,sha..
God bless canada ooo .i pray theirs works out fine,,so dat they take the credit instead of america
Abi.. So that only the poor keep dying.
Hmm....
* My R1.50c comment *
You're just dim. Do the Americans they tested it on aren't human beings?we've been crying for help. Now help us coming people are chatting jibberish. This is why most of the isrealites didn't make the promised land.
Welcome development..

i just dont understand America,even with the vaccines,they scare me...Ni'ima
There is hope for Africa. I often wondered how many more lives will waste before the end to Ebola comes.
Gosh as old as all of you are you dont know the difference between vaccines and drugs.. smh
Thanks Canada
The Zmapp was first tested on the two Americans. I think u should stop being ungrateful. There are no infected Canadians to test the drugs on, are there? #un grateful people
Sir for the past two months now my biz has been very terrible. I supply products to companies but nothing is coming forth. I need prayers(ABIODUN
The Canadians are lovely people. Lovely country too. God bless Canada and its people.
What's your source? Did you send your reporters to the press conference, if not, there is a source? Standard practice...although in Naija people plagiarize like it's nothing.
dt's gud.linda,national association of nigeria hunters dey vex o.dey said govt is killing dere bizness bcoz of ebola.dt govt said pple shd stop eating bush meat n dt it's drastically affecting dere bizness.i dey laf ooo
nice gesture..................................#KingOfKings
i am appalled at the way most Nigerians think... you are happy the Canadians offered untested vaccine to Africa... kudos to the west...lmao...they found a new way of enslaving us again... please all y'all should stay safe because i know this drugs could possibly kill more than the ebola virus itself and the WHO would form i told you so and Obama would laugh at dumb africa leaders letting their citizens become lab rats.... this country is a disgrace... i spit on the graves of corrupt and clueless leaders #just saying
Must you pour out insults to drive home your points?
Good but i heard it is not very safe.
Gud step sEe as oyibo fine inside d protective garment nt naija own dah resembles antelope wearin clothes.
Valentine N Egbuna you are an idiot for your statement. people like you should be locked up somewhere cuz your stupidity and ingratitude must be as contagious as Ebola and twice as deadly. what has your govenrment done to alleviate this disease??? NOTHING! yet someone is trying to help and ur being stupid. werent u the same ones shouting for Zmapp??? or don't u know that prior to its use on the American doctors and Spanish priests it had not been tested on humans? or that its not even a 100% effective as the priest still died? see u sitting in the comfort of ur home typing rubbish, why don't you go and look for a cure you stupid, stupid, STUPID girl!
So they want to use Africans as lab rats abi? If the drug kills the person, they'll say it didn't work and it was Ebola that killed them. If it works, they would've successfully used Africans as guinea pig to test their drugs again abi? Na wa.
Gud to hear dat
They should text it on 1,000 people?? a drug that hasn't been tested on human? okay thanks buh, it should be tested on just one person first.
Thank God oh, at least there is hope. Are you tired of heart breaks? Try BV HookUps
That's Canada for you. Hey don't know how to make noise. Africa teTs this or not, those with the virus will still die. I think it's only wise to test it on a few people and observe it's potency. But there's a 90% chance it will work on humans. God bless canada!
Yet u ask them to pay only 4000$ for Permanent Residence to this blessed country but they think u wanna build house wit their money...imagine d free health care and every other opportunities of life. .. Chai buzz me for legit PR application to Canada ..I told u o 742EDBA4
WHAT?!! THEY'VE NEVER TESTED IT ON HUMANS AND THEY WANT AFRICANS TO BE THEIR GUINEA PIGS!!????? DON'T YOU GUYS SEE THAT?! ONCE AGAIN AFRICA IS USED AS THE WORLD'S LAB RAT. HEY THAT'S HOW EBOLA GOT HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Delphine,God bless u for skooling dat dripping cunt immaculate.

nice job
well done
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
i love CANADA + MY HONEYMOON
What are our professionals doing in Africa? Always looking and depending on outside help; meanwhile there are many institutions that can boost of having microbiologists, virologists etc that can really help our country. Governement need to challenge them by providing necessary fund for research. I am talking of bitter kola panacea, rather I mean developing vaccines. Prof. Eni Njoku did develop WHO-approved vaccine in the 60's. What are experts in Nigeria doing? If their experience cannot help in dire situation we face, they better 'de-certificate' them. A salt that losses it's savour ----
IN AS MUCH AS I APPRECIATE THEIR GESTURES, WE ALSO MUST AVAOID A SITUATION WHERE SOME OF THESE COMPANIES WILL SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND USE OUR PEOPLE AS GUINEA PIGS. I THINK MANY OF THEM WANT TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THESE SO CALLED DRUGS ON HUMANS AND SEE THE EFFECTS
God bless u guys,for even having d heart to give without persuation,God will make d drugs to work more than our expectations IJN,amen#zoeann#
FOOL. The Zmapp drug was never used on human except the American. So wat nonsense ar u saying??
Isn't it better they test any drug wen they know d virus will kill them anyway? Daft twart
bishop,sumtims i wonda if u dnt jus reason. We re discussin sumtin else here, u re bringin prayer for business men nd workers....na wetin concern Ebola for d prayer? Abi na dier salary dem go use buy vaccine...abeg go open ur own blog o,or beta still,ur own prayer house...mtcheeww...EBOT USEME!
Delphine chinyere, who ever you are, u really need to work on your attitude, its horrible. U don't need to get abusive,aggressive and disrespectful at others when making your point known,such is outdated, pls catch up with time and be civil.
Text?no its instant messaging
God is too merciful. We want drugs for it he provided now you're making daft cooments. The rate of survival for ebola is to minimal for the drug to have a worse effect. Also they're sending 1000 doesn't mean they'll use it all at a go. Again,what are they lab ratting or guinea pigging you for. What benefit is the drug to them if it proves effective since... NEWSFLASH they don't have ebola there. No one has even said anything about the money they've given. They owe us nothing!! We should be grateful. This is probably why it seems God doesnt answer some prayers. We will blame Him for the answer also. Generation of vipers! Thanks Canada jare!
For every drug that is introduced, it is first tested on animals.. n this is scientifically experimental on humans so the modified n improved drug can be made..
Sorry people, that's science for us all.
Ahhh!!! Everyfin is just patrick sawyer fault...mtcheeeeeew. May God help us JUST PASSING
Skooling??? Schooling Nne,, meanwhile u guys can still make your points without insults. No one knows it all...
Is this some sort of transferred aggression ? Has Valentine Egbuna now turned to Patrick Suya abi Sawyer ?? Please you guy should easy on the guy. We all Learn everyday !!
This happened several years back where they used some experimental drugs on kids in the north, and they became paralysed, some of them even died The case is still on-going, yet to be resolved because the pharmaceutical company keeps bringing up 'legal backing' to thwart the allegations.
I know these are desperate times but we must be careful. God forbid, if this does not turn out well, you will see how fickle Nigerians will blame the government for accepting the 'experimental' cure in the first place. I just hope things go well. Inshaa Allah.
Also, I hope they won't use this to enslave us again. If they can give us the cure, they should be nice enough to teach us how to make it ourselves. Disseminate the knowledge.
To the Canadian Govt, I say more grease to your Elbow.
This is the reason America refused us Zmapp!! Buffoons like this run amok in Africa. If they woulda given us and something happened..... Ahhhhh heaven will fall because we'd be all drug that was never tested on humans, some Samaritans just agreed to be used as lab rats, you didn't wait to see long term effect you decided to use it on us too and now see. It's killing us, it's deforming us, it's worse than the ebola itself. Lawsuits left, right and centre. So you see!!!! Now Canada has decided to put all those aside and offered to help and you're bashing them saying you don't mean to be ungrateful, Nna e di very very UNGRATEFUL!!!!!! Drugs are always tested on animals first before they are tested on willing human subjects..... These people are dying they need this experimental drug NOW not 12months after human clinical trials.
We also need to get donated blood from survivors of the disease because they have antibodies in their blood, that's what really helped Dr. Writbol not the magic serum alone. All ye Liberians, Sierra Leonians and Guinea people that survived this thing and their bloods are clean they should donate blood and the WHO should send it round to every isolation centre.
Immediately Ebola came on the scene, the oyinbos started working on a cure in case any of their citizens was infected. Our own leaders only stole more money than they could ever spend in their lifetime. Now they are begging the oyinbos to give them untested vaccines to use. Kai!
Abeg make una stop dey call am experimental vaccine .they already knew it was gonna work
I'v been waiting for someone to point DAT out....
They are all mad,they need to be tested too becos dey are d ones being exposed to these same animals DAT r carriers....stupid pole,dey sud hunt and eat their bush meat alone and die alone.
Cud b d same reason d virus was released again since 1972...pharmaceutical companies are suspects
Pls tell her ooo,dis one tomorrow now will b someone's mother and wife.pls grow up
