I am skeptical that already approved Ebola virus vaccines and monoclonals will show promise during the ongoing outbreak of Bundibugyo virus for the simple reason that the two viruses are highly divergent (~35% AA divergence in GP).

Here the authors characterize mRNA-based tuberculosis vaccine candidates BNT164a1 and BNT164b1 and show that they are immunogenic, well tolerated and efficacious in preclinical animal models.

This is worth the click. I promise. Very well written indeed. ><
"It’s worth doing a clinical study, but I think the idea that, like, ‘Oh, let’s just roll out Ervebo and then hope for the best’ is misguided."
