    Brincidofovir (CMX001) is an experimental antiviral drug being developed by Chimerix for the treatment of cytomegalovirus.

    It also has activity against adenoviruses, BK virus and herpes simplex viruses, and preliminary tests have also shown it to have potential for the treatment of Ebola virus disease.

    Brincidofovir is a prodrug of cidofovir.

    According to NBC reporting sources, a sample of Mr. Duncan's blood was sent to the company who in-vitro (in the petri dish) added the substance and saw complete cessation of the virus.

    Drug developer Chimerix said its experimental Ebola drug has been provided for potential use in patients, sending its shares up more than 9 percent in afternoon trading.

    The drug, brincidofovir, received Emergency Investigational New Drug Applications (EINDA) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company said.

    I just seen this article now....much double speak going on, one minute they say they are not giving him any drugs and the next minute they say they are?????? confused yet?

    Quote Thomas Eric Duncan got a drug called brincidofovir, made by North Carolina-based Chimerix. Doctors stress that they have no idea whether experimental drugs can help Ebola patients.

    It's interesting both CDC and NIH said he would NOT receive any experimental drug(s)...

    but possibly Mr. Duncan's family managed to get in contact with Chimerix. Or it could be a political foot-ball, public being really concerned about why is this person NOT being given a chance with something that could help, like the others had and possibly the News Cameraman (NBC) will get in Nebraska.

    The treatment would have been allowed by the FDA, basically bypassing CDC and NIH.. politics maybe..

    Chimerix Announces Emergency Investigational New Drug Applications for Brincidofovir Authorized by FDA for Patients With Ebola Virus Disease

    DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 6, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Chimerix, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral antivirals in areas of high unmet medical need, today announced that brincidofovir has been provided for potential use in patients with Ebola Virus Disease. These requests were made by treating physicians.

    Emergency Investigational New Drug Applications (EIND) were granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    "Chimerix is committed to working with global health organizations and government agencies in the fight against the Ebola virus outbreak," said M. Michelle Berrey, M.D., M.P.H., President and Chief Executive Officer of Chimerix.

    "Based on in vitro data from work conducted by the CDC and the National Institutes of Health suggesting brincidofovir's activity against Ebola, we are hopeful that brincidofovir may offer a potential treatment for Ebola Virus Disease during this outbreak.

    Data collected over years of clinical development of brincidofovir have allowed us to progress this compound into Phase 3 programs for cytomegalovirus and adenovirus infections, and provided information on the safety and dosing of brincidofovir to allow it to be explored as a potential therapy for Ebola Virus Disease."

    Chimerix is working closely with the FDA to finalize a clinical trial protocol early this week to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of brincidofovir in patients who are confirmed to have an infection with the Ebola virus.

    Testing at the Viral Special Pathogens Branch of the CDC and the NIH revealed in vitro (test tube) activity of brincidofovir against the Ebola virus that was similar to that seen in test tube assessments of brincidofovir against other viral diseases, such as adenovirus and smallpox.

    Additional tests of brincidofovir in in vivo (animal) models of Ebola virus infection are currently underway.

    Update: Jesse Jackson apparently feels it's because this fellow (Duncan) is an African American, the race card (is/was) being played, and with enough pressure for "saving face" the doctors then changed their mind to show how "compassionate" they really are...(snicker..) CDC director today 7th Oct in a live broadcast "update" explained how compassionate the doctors are... (hmm)..

    The NBC free-lance cameraman being treated in Nebraska, is already receiving (with zero delay), the brincidofovir anti-viral.. No delays giving him that as it is now the "recommended" anti-viral treatment, since zMapp is not available..

    No doubt this drug should have immediately been given to Mr. Duncan, but as CDC and NIH pointed out at the outset, Mr. DUNCAN WILL NOT RECEIVE said treatments..

    Connecting some dots seems like a good way to understand more of the "political football" here in Mr. Duncan's case..

    To be or not to be - that is the reuters/MSM media question? Did he die and the MSM didn't want to spoil an event, or give themselves time to make even more mischief? The thot plickens yet again..., plus 'he' was denied new drugs, well HELLO, if you were a politician near there you would have the patient stuffed with the latest anti-ebola nonsense, and sent away in quarantine NOT in a big city!!! This whole thing is a vile rigmarole, and sadly someone is sacrificed to promote fear porn globally. Not like Sandy Hook where noone died, noone existed, and it's illegal to question it!!! Is this a drill? There was an inkling of an event promoted to disaster relief supply groups that there would be a hit in October, and the hospital involved had just such a meeting a month before the 'event'.

    He probably died this morning (or yesterday) and the only reason they are now saying he's getting experimental drugs is to ease the outrage when they announce later today (or tomorrow) that he has died.

    He's been in critical condition so it seems very unlikely that any experimental drug could help him now.

    First case just now reported here in Spain, (Madrid) They had brought back a priest and another person from Africa to be treated here, both of whom died. Now it has just been confirmed that one of the nurses treating them has been infected.
    So far they have put now her husband and other medical staff in quarantine, 30 in total. What I wonder about is they say on one side it is a very dificult virus to get, being only transferable through direct contact with bodily fluids or blood,
    so why are so many medical staff getting infected?

    And that is EXACTLY the anomaly - how come? So hard to get but so many get it? I suspect the sneeze/cough is spreading the virus particles from the saliva/mucous membranes, earlier post last page in the thread discusses this in depth.. It's "virus particles IN the air", not "airborne virus" - pure word-game there (spin in other words...)

    The nurse apparently in Spain has a longer development time for the virus..

    SO we have about 4 compounds now that are NOT mono-clonal-antibodies, but are effective anti-viral substances which can be taken EARLY which may evoke 100% cure..

    It is interesting/amazing how broad spectrum anti-viral the new Brincidofovir (CMX001) from Chimerix is..

    Are the PEOPLE going to hear about these substances? Some are obtained over the internet even..

    A nurse who treated two Ebola patients at a Madrid hospital has become infected with the disease herself, health officials said.

    Two tests were done and the two were positive,” a spokesman for the health department of the regional government of Madrid told AFP.

    Spain’s Minister of Health, Ana Mato, says the authorities are working to distinguish the source of the disease’s contraction as strict controls were implemented to prevent Ebola’s spread. He added that there is no knowledge of any other cases.

    The first norwegian infected with ebola is now confirmed.

    From reddit:

    "Doctors Without Borders confirms that one of our organization’s Norwegian field workers in Sierra Leone has tested positive and has been diagnosed with bleeding fever ebola, confirms Anne Cecilie Kalteborn in MSF’s Norway branch to Norwegian media VG.

    The Norwegian health worker is tonight being flown with an ambulance flight from the capital Sierra Leone. She will probably land in Norway Monday night or Tuesday night.

    She was in Sierra Leone and is being flown to Norway for treatment, she wasn't in Norway and then discovered she had Ebola."

    (regarding the airport video)
    With all the time there has been to prepare airport personnel for this, I find these practices (or there lack of) appalling. All the over use of naked body scanners, and unlawful pat downs of the worst kind, for a whole bunch of BS, and now THIS. Seriously they have had months to drill this scenario many times over, and this seems awfully deliberate to me. Bumping this.. I believe that the SHTF is pretty much at our front door.

    On Steve Quayle's 'Alerts' section, here:
    http://stevequayle.com/index.php?s=33&d=1139
    (The 'Alert' is intelligently well-written, but no sources are given)



    Below is a list of countries that have confirmed cases of Ebola:
    • Every country in Africa
    • Spain
    • Italy
    • France
    • Germany
    • Poland
    • Greece
    • Turkey
    • Saudi Arabia
    • Yemen
    • Oman
    • Iran
    • Kuwait
    • Vietnam
    • Myanmar
    • India
    • Indonesia
    • Australia
    • China
    • Brazil
    • Venezuela
    • Mexico
    • United States
    • Canada
    What you’re seeing here is the initial global footprint of the Ebola virus. It is most likely that each one of the above countries has more than one case; and, they are struggling to maintain the public’s confidence. We should see a second global wave of Ebola cases following a brief incubation period.

    The secondary global outbreak will be under-reported, as well. Around the end of October/beginning of November, during the tertiary wave, it will become apparent this is a global pandemic that has spiraled completely out of control.

    At this point, economies will start to falter, airline travel will decline rapidly, and governments around the world will blame each other for lack of truthfulness.

    One may appropriately expect the spread of Ebola through the international community to look like the spread of Enterovirus-68 in the United States:
    1. Initial outbreaks played down and under-reported.
    2. Initial reporting suggests the government and health agencies are responding appropriately.
    3. Spread has reached several states.
    4. Number infected suggests it is completely out of control.
    5. Confirmation that it is completely out of control.
    6. Increase in morbidity and mortality.
    7. Public panic ensues.
    It is possible the spread of Ebola will burn through the population like the flu — both have similar infection mechanisms and life expectancies in the external environment. Let’s pray this assessment is completely wrong!

    It was hypothesized that the news-camera-man being treated in Nebraska will receive the new treatment medication. It appears that is the case.

    "Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan remains in critical but stable condition at a Texas hospital, officials said Tuesday. "He is on a ventilator and receiving kidney dialysis. His liver function, which declined over the weekend, has improved, but doctors caution that this could vary in coming days," Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas said in a statement. "He will continue to receive the investigational medication brincidofovir."

    "Ashoka Mukpo, the freelance NBC camera operator who is being treated for Ebola at Nebraska Medical Center, is also getting brincidofovir, a twice-a-week pill that's been approved for experiment use in their cases. The drug's been tested against several other viruses, also. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state health officials were due to hold a briefing later Tuesday."

    Coast Guard Sector Issues New Ebola Protocol - keeping an eye on who is on board the vessels coming from Countries

    "One U.S. Coast Guard sector says it will contact ships that have recently been to Ebola-affected countries to ask whether passengers have symptoms of the virus before they’re allowed into port. It issued a bulletin to the maritime community in Long Island Sound, which includes parts of New York and Connecticut, on Monday.

    "The bulletin describes protocols being put into place due to Ebola. A spokesman at Coast Guard headquarters in Washington says he's unaware of other sectors taking similar action.

    "The Coast Guard says the policy applies to vessels that visited affected countries within their last five ports of call. The Obama administration is considering whether to institute extra screening at airports to check passengers coming from Ebola-stricken countries. It has said it won't halt travel from those countries.


    Meanwhile CDC director explains "no worries" in a smiling sickly voice, having stopped once to use a tissue, during his current speech... He talked about Marburg saying gee, this virus doesn't have a movie made about it, and said ONLY one person died (there are 80 be monitored)...

    The director explains, hey we have it all under control, no worries.. He says it's so hard to see what is actually is happening behind the lines, there is so much progress happening that the news just doesn't see or hear about...

    He coughed again when he said well, you know we are helping hospitals understand about this - "hospital awareness" (cough) is what is happening.. (hmmm...)

    He says, we know PEOPLE are eager for more information, and you know of course we are going to address that (we will announce further measures which will be taken, not alluding to "what")

    He says, We won't do anything that will backfire, he glaringly says, We are compassionate and Will Do No Harm (snicker...)

    (Source - live newsfeed of interview, and http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebo...otocol-n220386 )

    PS - Madrid says they will kill the dog of the Nurse affected with Ebola...

    Madrid's regional government says it's going to kill the pet dog of a Spanish woman who became infected with Ebola. Authorities said in a statement Tuesday that available scientific knowledge indicates there's a risk the dog could transmit the deadly virus to humans.

    The Spanish nursing assistant became the first case of Ebola being transmitted outside of West Africa after she cared for a Spanish priest in Madrid who died of Ebola last month. She and her husband are now in quarantine.

    The government said the dog, named Excalibur, would be euthanized in a way to avoid suffering and using bio-security measures that it did not specify. Its body will later be incinerated. The government had to get a court order for the euthanization over the family's objections.

    Default Re: Haemorrhagic fever / Ebola outbreaks have been reported - accident, natural or bio-weapon?

    EUROPE PAY ATTENTION to the words in this post please.. the messages from the officials involved is revealing.

    So what happened, in Spain, where we saw (vids of) the amazing security transferring the patients (the two that died in Spain) into the hospital?

    Well that was ON-CAMERA show apparently, the real events happening behind the scenes were LAPSES in protocol - failures to prevent adequate infection control using the Biolab IV recommended safety steps..

    (Source)

    Having bought into the pablum, "no worries here, it's not able to be airborne...", the nurse simply looses perspective, following the "rules" her supervisors told her, use the substandard equipment - and ignore of the seriousness of the infection, the virus quantity that one could get, doesn't take much of it in one's mucous membranes (read lungs, throat, mouth) to get a toehold in the body... they ignored proper procedures of controlling dangerous wastes, (contaminated with bodily fluids) so many steps are are lax, and that stupidity allowed for potentially contaminating a lot of hospital staff.. AND those staff then go out into the world...

    "Spanish nurse Ebola infection blamed on substandard gear and protocol lapse - Staff at Madrid’s Carlos III hospital say protective suits do not meet WHO standards as second nurse undergoes tests for virus"

    "Health professionals in Madrid have blamed substandard equipment and a failure to follow protocol for the first case of Ebola to be contracted outside west Africa.

    "Health authorities announced on Monday that a Spanish nurse at Madrid’s Carlos III hospital who treated a patient repatriated from Sierra Leone had twice tested positive for Ebola.

    "Her husband had also been admitted to hospital and was in isolation, and a second nurse from the same team that treated both repatriated Ebola victims was also being tested. In this case, the nurse contacted the authorities on Monday complaining of a fever. She was in isolation in the Carlos III Hospital while authorities waited for the test results, a spokesperson for the Madrid regional government said.

    "A third person, a man recently arrived from Nigeria, was also under quarantine in Madrid but tested negative for Ebola in his first test.

    "Health authorities said they were monitoring more than 50 possible contacts of the nurse.

    "Staff at the hospital where she worked told El País that the protective suits they were given did not meet World Health Organisation (WHO) standards, which specify that suits must be impermeable and include breathing apparatus. Staff also pointed to latex gloves secured with adhesive tape as an example of how the suits were not impermeable and noted that they did not have their own breathing equipment.

    "The nurse was part of a team attending to missionary Manuel García Viejo, 69, who died four days after being brought to Carlos III hospital on 20 September.

    "The same team, including the nurse, also treated missionary Miguel Pajares, 75, who was repatriated from Liberia in August and died five days later.

    "Staff at the hospital said waste from the rooms of both patients was carried out in the same elevator used by all personnel and, in the case of the second patient, the hospital was not evacuated.

    "The European commission said on Tuesday it had written to the Spanish health minister “to obtain some clarification” on how the nurse had become infected when all EU member states were supposed to have taken measures to prevent transmission.

    “There is obviously a problem somewhere,” the commission spokesman Frédéric Vincent said.

    "Spanish health authorities have said that professionals treating Ebola patients in Spain always follow WHO protocols (apparently disinformation). The nurse would have entered García Viejo’s room just twice, said Antonio Alemany, from the regional government of Madrid, both times wearing protective equipment. (substandard equipment)

    “We don’t know yet what failed,” Alemany said. “We are investigating the mechanism of infection.”

    "The regional director of the WHO in Europe said Ebola would “most likely” spread but the continent was well prepared to control it. (continent?? well prepared when they can't understand how to get and use a proper bioprotection suit, and treat wastes properly??)

    "Zsuzsanna Jakab told Reuters European health workers tasked with caring for the patients, as well as their families and close contacts, were most at risk of becoming infected.

    “It will happen. But the most important thing in our view is that Europe is still at low risk and that the western part of the European region particularly is the best prepared in the world to respond to viral haemorrhagic fevers including Ebola,” she said. (EUROPE? thought this was JUST MADRID...)

    "The nurse had alerted the ministry of a slight fever on 30 September and been checked into a hospital in Alcorcón, on the outskirts of Madrid, with a high fever on Monday. She was transferred to Carlos III hospital early on Tuesday morning.

    "El Mundo reported that it was the nurse who asked to be tested for Ebola, having to insist repeatedly on being tested before it was done on Monday. (the nurse is worried, and officials REPEATEDLY IGNORE (poo poo) that something may be wrong... !!)

    "While staff at the Alcorcón hospital were waiting for the test results, the nurse remained in a bed in the emergency room, separated only by curtains from other patients, hospital staff told El Mundo. Their version of events clashes with that of health authorities, who have said the patient was isolated from the first moment. (THIS IS INSANITY !! class 4 biolab recommended procedure says ISOLATE IMMEDIATELY, don't sit around in public basically putting at risk everyone - oh that's right "it is not airborne, no worries...")

    "The woman (nurse) was on holiday at an unknown location when she began showing symptoms.

    “We are drawing up a list of all the people she may have been in contact with, including with health professionals at the Alcorcón hospital,” said Alemany, estimating that more than 30 people were being monitored for any sign of symptoms."

    Quote Posted by Roisin (here)
    He's been in critical condition so it seems very unlikely that any experimental drug could help him now.
    After receiving the brincidofovir antiviral, today this afternoon a report from the hospital in Dallas is saying that his condition is improving, that liver function is improving, his blood pressure is back up and he no longer has a fever.. Pretty amazing really, that this antiviral is so extremely potent, every other day a small microgram dose is required...

    That being the case, Duncan was a LATE case.. All other cases tend to be early cases, and JUST after the virus presents with immune system overwhelm, then the treatment substance is started.. Especially with the mono-clonal anti-body treatment zMapp, needing to present to have sufficient virus, then treat to get the immune system to start rapidly attacking....

    With the brincidofovir and a few of the other anti-viral substances, they interfere with the virus' ability to spread.. SO the body then if it has ANY immune system ability left goes in for the clean-up efforts.. Again controlling massive cytokine flooding (organ edema, bursting organs, blood vessels) has to be addressed as well as organ failure.. HOW much kidney and liver damage can be tolerated before it becomes impossible to recover from the onslaught of the infection..

    It is possible looking at the cold "experimenter mindset" of biolab weapons developers, that in Duncan's case, he was an ideal candidate for seeing if after a long period of infection, COULD something bring him back from the brink... maybe.. if he survives, and the studies about what supportive treatments were given, such as forced breathing ventilator, steroids, and dialysis, and this drug, that the powers that be now have an effective very important TREATMENT that can be mass produced to fight biowarfare. What they will be monitoring for is brain and heart damage primarily, to see what level of function will remain, this late in the infection stage. Then how long will he need dialysis after-the-fact.. The liver will most likely regenerate, possibly heart function will be damaged, or lung function.. to be seen... as this saga unfolds...

    EDIT UPDATE: Thomas Duncan passed away in Dallas, Wednesday morning 8 October 2014, with the hospital reporting "complications" being the overlying reasons.. It is quite possible that the brincidofovir drug did work extremely well, however massive subsequent organ damage which happens with the infection plus a severe bacteria infection in multiple organs was the final overload. Being on dialysis is an issue as well as being sedated for quite some time and being on a ventilator, having the machine breathing for the patient..

    I've given this topic about ZERO energy, so I could be very wrong, but the little looking that I did caused me to post this dissenting view on another thread: ptw- The Simpsons and Ebola -- Post #9

    'The CDC came yesterday. They said I can go back to work but I do not know what I will do. I will not go back yet.'


    It didn't take a 21 day wait for her to be told, go out and have contact with the public.

    "The stepdaughter of Texas Ebola victim, Thomas Duncan, who called 911 and rode in the ambulance with the man she calls 'Daddy' has been told she can return to work, MailOnline can reveal.

    Nursing assistant Youngor Jallah, 35, has been in 'quarantine' in her small Dallas apartment along with her husband, Aaron Yah, 43, and their four children ages 2 to 11 since Thomas Duncan's devastating diagnosis last Monday.

    "MailOnline has reported that Mr Yah, also a nursing assistant, had been told he could return to work at the end of last week."


    Considering the nature of the nurses ill in Madrid, to see this happening makes one wonder, just what is up? One hand not knowing what the other is doing?

    One can do a web-search for additional articles on this, some are videos. ( search )

    Israel agrees the seriousness of the event in West Africa

    (Source)

    Multiple countries have been sending aid (albeit not enough just yet) as they realize the seriousness of the events transpiring in West Africa (and a potential now exists in Madrid Spain, and Norway for at least caution in monitoring patients with diagnosis of Ebola)..

    State of Israel to send in doctors and drugs to fight Ebola

    Quote
    A consignment of medical drugs, equipment and Doctors from the State of Israel is expected to arrive soon in Sierra Leone as part of the Government of Israel’s contribution in helping to fight the deadly Ebola virus outbreak.

    This was disclosed to Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to Senegal H.E Ambassador Khadijatu Bassir (in photo) by the Israeli Ambassador in Senegal.

    Following, Government’s appeal to the International Community for financial and other logistical support in the fight against the outbreak of the Ebola virus, the Government of the State of Israel was approached by Ambassador Khadijatu Bassir through its Ambassador in Dakar Senegal for the donation of drugs and other medical equipments.

    After the meeting between the two Ambassadors that was described as fruitful, a list of required medical items for the treatment of the disease was requested by the Israeli Ambassador and urgently forwarded to Israel for his Government’s attention and action.

    Among what Ambassador Bassir told her counterpart was that ‘The deadly Ebola virus is now part of us and therefore it must go and be eradicated by all means possible’

    The authorities in Israel has now through its Ambassador in Senegal reliably informed the Sierra Leone Mission in Senegal, that a consignment of medical drugs and Doctors are expected to land in Freetown shortly to help in the fight against the Ebola virus that has become an alarming International emergency.

    On behalf of the Government and people of Sierra Leone Ambassador Bassir expressed her appreciation and gratitude to the Government and kind people of the State of Israel for the gesture, which she described as ‘sharing the pains and suffering of the people and contributing to the cause of humanity’.
