#1 IMO, given current "racism" phobias, this is an unfortunate choice of words.

#2 Sure, of course, the all Monkeys get cured of Ebola after all, that is the future...the end of us humans. Haven't you seen the movie Planet of the Apes ? Or this next short ?

#3 It's not known how well the drug would work in people, who can take up to 21 days to show symptoms and are not infected the way these monkeys were in a lab.

A fair amount is known. Two of seven have died, the rest not only had the "vaccine", but had good to excellent care. However, the Ebola survival rate is running 50% without the vaccine or excellent care.

#4 Zmapp isn't a vaccine. Although it's effects are somewhat similar.

Grown in Tobacco plants. So production cycle limited by growth cycle of the plant.

I doubt it can be produced fast enough to stop ebola within the next 6 months.
