There is zero data on any of them to suggest that it helped, harmed, or had no effect on any of the patients who have received the drugs to date.


Didn't the two in Atlanta live after they got it? And the guy in Dallas died after not getting it. I feel like it might make a difference.

Since this outbreak, ZMapp has been used in:
2 Americans who recovered
1 75 year old Spanish priest who died after receiving it (1)
3 Liberians, one died (2)
1 British nurse who lived

2/7 who have received ZMapp died.

One received Brincidofovir and died.

It might. To say so definitively is to be highly swayed by a very unconvincing sample size which also doesn't mention when during the infectious process the patients began aggressive supportive therapy as well as antiviral therapy.
