SAN DIEGO LAB DISCOVERS CORONAVIRUS VACCINE IN 3 HOURS
KVUE ^

Posted on 02/12/2020 6:38:17 PM PST by TigerClaws

SAN DIEGO — In a race against the clock, a San Diego lab is scrambling to get a COVID-19 vaccine out and on the market. As the days go by, Inovio Pharmaceuticals is getting closer to releasing the desperately needed vaccine against the deadly virus.

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, which is located in Sorrento Valley, has also created a vaccine for the Zika virus, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), and the vaccine for Ebola.

Dr. Trevor Smith, who is the director of research and development at Inovio, said, "It's something we are trained to do, and the infrastructure is here and the expertise is in house."

When Chinese scientists released the genetic sequence on Jan. 9, Inovio researchers got to work immediately and within 3 hours they had a vaccine for coronavirus, or COVID-19 as it is now being referred to.

"We have an algorithm which we designed, and we put the DNA sequence into our algorithm and came up with the vaccine in that short amount of time," said Dr. Smith.

Tens of thousands in China have been quarantined and continue to suffer from the virus. That’s why scientists at Inovio Pharmaceuticals say they feel the sense of urgency to get the vaccine out.

The vaccine has been tested on mice and guinea pigs. It will next be tried on a group of human patients.

Scientists hope the vaccine will work like a piece of biological software. In other words, the vaccine will give the human body instructions to create the proper attack in the form of T-cells and antibodies against COVID-19.

If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be made available to the public by early this summer - which would be a record time frame for Inovio Pharmaceuticals.

Currently, an Inovio Pharmaceuticals lead researcher is in Sweden meeting with the World Health Organization to come up with the best plan of attack against COVID-19.

Yes good news.

But I wonder about all the companies announcing tests and vaccines for this. It’s an easy thing to hype.

This sounds damned suspicious to me. If it were true this would be the lead story on every major news site in the country if not globally. WTF?

Sounds like fraud to me. No way could they honestly announce they have a vaccine in that short of time. Unless of course it is a ploy to pump up their share price or something.

Remember that all of this propaganda is to herd you into injecting yourselves with unknown toxins

Take notice : the vaccine industry far from being the savior of mankind - the vaccine industry is pure evil With only a profit motive and no care at all about humanity

If you would like to prevent viruses and bacteria from harming or killing you are you simply need to do is take colloidal silver

you can make it yourself or purchase it

There are many other antiviral and antifungal and antibacterial methods as well

I’m not saying this virus isn’t pretty serious.

But I remember the swine flu vaccine. I’ll take a wait and see attitude on vaccine promises.

Fingers crossed on this.
If true and effective, this outfit deserves to make tons of money and tons of thanks.

Its BS! Its a pump and dump scheme to get their share prices up. Clinical trials of vaccines takes years.

For those who don’t read the article below, seems the vaccines they’ve produced for the past viruses still haven’t been approved:

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
