North Korea says it has developed a vaccine that is “very effective” in treating MERS, Ebola and AIDS, state news agency KCNA reported, as well as a range of other diseases that modern medicine has yet to find a cure for.

Developed by North Korea’s Pugang Pharmaceutic Co. and promoted under the tag line “Everyone has the right to be healthy,” the vaccine is made of extracts from ginseng with the injection of rare earth elements, KCNA said.
