(CNN) -- Three top secret, experimental vials stored at subzero temperatures were flown into Liberia last week in a last-ditch effort to save two American missionary workers who had contracted Ebola, according to a source familiar with details of the treatment.
On July 22, Dr. Kent Brantly woke up feeling feverish. Fearing the worst, Brantly immediately isolated himself. Nancy Writebol's symptoms started three days later. A rapid field blood test confirmed the infection in both of them after they had become ill with fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
It's believed both Brantly and Writebol, who worked with the aid organization Samaritan's Purse, contracted Ebola from another health care worker at their hospital in Liberia, although the official Centers for Disease Control and Prevention case investigation has yet to be released.

I could only hope this secret serum can be used to save the lives of civilians who need it too. Too many lives have been lost to Ebola over the past few weeks. I do hope the 2 American missionaries get well and recover from this illness but lest not forget about people who aren't missionaries and need assistance as well.

Now that white people are getting sick, this is serious business and it's time to bust out the big weapons.
