He said the vaccine is not proven to work in humans, yet. He cautioned people to not be overly optimistic that it will prove useful in human trials. He stated that many vaccines may work in animal trials, but fail to work when tested on humans.
It was an interesting show. Very informative.

He also stated the drug, ZMAPP, that has been administered may or may not being helping. He seemed very cautious about its efficacy. He warned that the news media has been very lax in its reporting about both the vaccine and the drug treatment.
