dr. michelle barry at stanford, and here's what she had to say. >> these vaccines, which have been around for a while, haven't been fast tracked. and the ebola virus is a disease of people living overseas, not in america. it's not going to be a very profitable vaccine. even in the travel medicine arena, not many people are going to be taking ebola vaccine. so it's not going to be very profitable. >> we're talking about a disease that really has only infected fewer than 5,000 people in the world's poorest companies, so it's not a big market for a company. >> why can't it be more widely available? >> in that case, a lot of people are trying to link that to their recovery. and because we have done so little research into ebola, there's no way to know if that had anything to do with dr. brantley or his colleague coming back. the money put toward ebola research is bioterror. it might be a bioterror weapon in some way. but the money given to these vaccines in research is a tiny step. you would need tens of millions of dollars for a treatment spread throughout africa and that's unlikely to happe

i asked the question of dr michelle barry, a professor of tropical diseases and medicine at stanford university, here is what she said. >> the vaccines that have been around for a while have not been fast-tracked, is that ebola virus is - how shall i put it - a disease of people overseas, not america. it's not going be very profitable. in the travel medicine arena, not many will take ebola. so it's not going to be very profitable. >> when you look at it 3,000 people only have been affected by ebola. and the people affected here are living in three of the poorest countries in the world. it's not a target market for the pharmaceutical industry. >> that's the statement there. what about the experimental serum, is that something that we could hope to see go into wider distribution? >> aside from the fact that there's really not a market for this that anyone seems to be interested in, it's almost impossible to know. i would say it's impossible to know whether the serum had anything to do with kent brantly's recovery. it could be the placebo effect. that has inspired recovery. there's no w

dr. michelle barry, a stanford university doctor. >> i think the reason why these vaccines which have been around for a while haven't been fast tracked is that ebola viruses actually, how shall i put it -- a disease of people living overseas, not in america. it's not going to be a very profitable vaccine. even in the travel medicine arena, not many people are going to be taking ebola vaccine, so it's not going to be very profitable. >> just like sars and mers, it came from animals. there needs to be a new way to fight those diseases. >> diseases that come from animals, pigs, where you see swine flu, bats, where reservoirs of many of these hemorrhagic viruses are, all these emerging scary viruses have to do with paying attention to animal husbandry, taking good care of our annals and the interface between humans and animals. >> ebola presents many opportunities. it gives us an opportunity to look at the human-animal disease infection. it's similar to h.i.v. and could present research opportunities there. because it inflicts only 3,000 people in the poorest countries of the world, it's unlik
