so, these first trials being conducted at national institutes of health and the walter reed army medical well as several clinical trial sites in switzerland, in germany and africa, that have been organized by the world health organization, all of those trials are basically launching simultaneously. we believe we're just a few days away to week or two away from first patients treated here with the vaccine. liz: okay. >> it will take approximately two to three months to complete those studies. and there will be decisions made by some of the top experts in the world that we have organized to work on this project from all of these various government organizations to decide when we believe we have an effective doze identified, a safe dose identified. i shouldn't say effective, really i'm talking about safe and inducing immunity. liz: got it. >> that would go into larger-scale trials in probably thousands of people likely in areas where people are infected by the virus. liz: godspeed, doctor. thank you to your company and we wish you the best of luck. please do keep us posted. we would appreci

i was introduced to him when he was down at walter reed when it was still in washington in the early stages of his recovery. and he was adamant. he wanted to walk again with these artificial limbs. and the doctors were trying to prepare him and his family for the idea that he might be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. but he would have none of that. and i watched his progress. and he eventually was able to walk. it took a couple of years. he went through such pain, such agony. but it was -- he never complained. he never even seemed down when i spoke with him. it was incredible. and i tell his story, because i think that most americans don't understand the degree of suffering that individuals and their families are going through as a result of these wars that we just continue to fight wars without end, wars where, in many cases the majority of the population is not even paying attention to what's going on. and so the toll in individual lives has been staggering. the suffering for the tens of thousands of men and women who have had grotesque injuries, sometimes losing

he was then evacuated back to walter reed army medical center in the united states. my team got tossed around a lot and eventually i was moved off the mountain down to mosul which was great in some ways. we had flush toilets, pretty exciting after many, many months without running water. and access to the internet, and that was pretty great, being able to actually use e-mail. at the same time, the insurgents were mortaring us all the time. up on the side of the mountain, the yazidis loved us and wanted us to stay forever. they built our fighting positions for us which felt bizarre and not quite right. while i was in mosul, i got an e-mail from brian saying, hey, i wanted you to know that i survived and looks like everything is okay. i didn't know anything about brain injuries. he sends me an e-mail saying he's going to be fine. so we struck up this very cautious flirtation, and he was released from walter reed and sent back to fort campbell around the same time that the rest of the division got back from the middle east. we started dating at that point. i got a block

rich edison live at the walter reed army research hospital outside washington. what do we know about these human trials going on? >> well, shep, they're going on right here at this research hospital center and what you're looking at here is the test cases are given the vaccine, they're monitored initially on a daily basis and the next couple weeks another group of test cases will come in. they will be given a stronger version of the vaccine and two weeks after that, a stronger version. researchers are looking to see how they react, what kind of antibodies they're building to the ebola virus and side effects to this. we should get initial results in mid to late december. may seem like a long time off but researchers say they have moved up this timeline. >> once the regulatory agencies say that this is safe to move on to phase two, then we'll progress from there. the timeline is at this point being compressed but it's unclear when aroduct actually might hit the market. we took about six weeks to do what would normally take about six months. >> now the vaccine that

and word today of the first human trial for ebola vaccine. 39 healthy volunteers at walter reed research began receiving the first injections yesterday morning of a canadian ebola vaccine. it does not contain the whole virus but rather the gene. mixed with other material and because of that, greta, offi: tie fuss which is what doctors at the university of kansas hospital who believe that this man in his 40s likely has. they are now waiting on the results of more thorough testing from the cdc for confirmation that it is not ebola. those results are expected in the next two days, this patient gave doctors a scare when he first came in yesterday saying he was was afraid he had contracted the disease while working as a medic on a ship off the coast of west africa where he was treating patients with all sorts of diseases. the hospital immediately placed him in isolation. they were hopeful all along because he wasn't bleeding and didn't have a fever which would be if it please call for someone with ebola at that stage. that's why doctors believe he contracted one of the tropical diseases more

canada testing a vaccine on 20 volunteers at walter reed here in the united states. we understand they will not be tested by members of the military? why are they tested here? this is canadian vaccine sent to the united states? >> this is vaccine has been around quite a while. it has promising data. collaboration with american government and canadian governments. nih is leader to try to bring vaccines to market. we think this vaccine will probably show good data in humans and change the face of ebola outbreaks in the future. heather: if it works they say it could potentially be ready to go in couple months. we mentioned it is being tested on volunteers as we understand it. apparently not military members. we're working to get further confirmation from the pentagon. thank you so much. thanks for coming in. jon? jon: isis terrorists gain more ground, conducting more suicide bombings in iraq. coming up, a middle east analyst says unless the u.s. steps up to stop the tariffs, the iraqi government may turn to iran for more help. >>> back and forth they went. minority lead
