The people who created the vaccine should test it in their own country. Big pharma is at play here doling out millions of dollars to doctors and health care professionals to recruit guinea pigs for clinical trials. Folks have also forgotten about the introduction of cassava seeds in the Ashanti region a few weeks ago. Parliament should also stop this immediately. It is Genetically modified to enslave us to neocolonialists. As far as I remember you only have to cut a stalk of cassava and plant it. If we introduce seeds we will continue to buy the seeds from the company every planting season. People are selling their souls for copper pieces.

Prof is right. The scaremongering hat is being espoused by people who should know better is populist propaganda. These are just clinical trials which happen in most developed countries. We as a people cannot do anything but pray and talk lots. Don't we know the medications including the common paracetamol are developed and tested in other places so what's the big deal if a clinical trial is taking place in Ghana. It's time where we as a people get real. The fact that a clinical trial was being proposed to take place does not mean the ebola disease is being brought to Ghana. It is just heartbreaking and frustrating how backward we can be. We are talking as if we are the only country that has been earmarked for the trials. We don't want to be involved in anything but always want to benefits from the fruits and toil of others

we should bear in mind that the Ebola virus havoc is more in africa than abroad so if they have gotten the vaccine we also have a part to play in its development for the present and future generation.

As for the minister his days are numbered. He is a populist but in science there is no room for that.
