a very important point about ebola is in january, february, march, april, the world doesn't have enough vaccineto immunize everybody. and the issue of having people at risk who are normal subjects, at the risk of acquiring ebola will exist outside. this is not a situation where we could potentially immunize a whole population but even if you wanted, you couldn't. so there will be people who participate in the trial and people who don't want to thank the question of keeping people away from a vaccine could be extended to the overall population. for me, it's one of the reasons why, pragmatically there's nothing else you can do then provide vaccine to a smaller portion of the population. but, of course, engaging, explaining and have the agreement is ups will be paramount. it's also the reason why we are not favoring any one of the trial who does not -- working very hard to make vaccine available to all of them. we don't know which ones. >> i do have a concern, if you look at what's happening in liberia, had we introduced the vaccine a month ago we would be thinking -- we would be seeing a decrease
