We are expected to police the world and now attend to it's ills, should it not be Africa that is experimenting for a drug to combat a disease started in Africa?

Will the 'guinea pigs' be British Africans or White British, and to all those who think it a good idea, I ask would you volunteer?

/// The vaccine being developed by GlaxoSmithKline and the US National Institutes of Health is being fast-tracked with a £2.8m grant from the Wellcome Trust, the Medical Research Council and the UK Department for International Development. ///

Air France and British Airways have suspended all flights to these African countries, why don't the Government now ban all flights into the UK from these countries?

//Therefore I would like the vaccine to be tested on humans first.//

Quite so. I would like the methodology to differ from the animal tests byvthe addition of a step where you test the inoculated subject for antibodies -before- attempting any exposure to live pathogen. Just in case the lethality is because the protein components just dont bind to human antibodies.
