IF we let them get away with it.

Doubts have been raised over a much-lauded Oxford University COVID-19 vaccine which experts say could fail to prevent individuals catching the virus, after trial results emerged.
The government has promised to invest £20 million ($24m) to support teams at Oxford University engaged in the global race to find a vaccine.
However, following the publication of detailed trial results last week, it was found that the vaccine was unable to prevent monkeys from catching the COVID-19 virus.
This has led to experts questioning the effectiveness of the jab, should it be approved for wider use among the population, and in particular about whether it will be able to prevent the spread of the virus between affected individuals.
Dr. William Haseltine, a former Harvard Medical School professor who had a pivotal role in the development of early HIV/Aids treatments, said: "All of the vaccinated monkeys treated with the Oxford vaccine became infected when challenged, as judged by recovery of virus genomic RNA from nasal secretions."
He wrote in an article on Forbes: "There was no difference in the amount of viral RNA detected from this site in the vaccinated monkeys as compared to the unvaccinated animals. Which is to say, all vaccinated animals were infected."
The vaccine, which had been dubbed as a "front runner", was trialed in rhesus macaque monkeys.
The vaccine, catchily titled ChAdOx1, was given to six monkeys, exposing them to COVID-19.
A control group of three non-vaccinated monkeys was also infected. Both the immunized and non-immunized monkeys were then monitored for seven days for signs of developing COVID-19.
Dr. Haseltine said: "It is crystal clear that the vaccine did not provide sterilizing immunity to the virus challenge, the gold standard for any vaccine. It may provide partial protection."

Although all of the monkeys were found to have been infected with the virus, none suffered from pneumonia, which suggests the vaccine could help fight the severity of COVID-19, which may give optimism to some.
There’s something like ten candidates for vaccines now undergoing animal trials. Human trials are supposed to start in September.
And this is why testing has to be done before vaccines are released. Not news.
There’s a large number of companies trying to find a working vaccine.
Anything at such an early stage should never have been hyped.
RE: There’s something like ten candidates for vaccines now undergoing animal trials
Too bad. Oxford was supposed to be ahead of everyone else...
Most of these companies have been given enough funds to build a production facility so that if their vaccine works they can ramp up immediately.
But were the lab animals still able to the tracked with the digital id that was injected? Thought that was the entire point of the vaccine, to the deep state types (soros, gates, etc).
IF we let them get away with it.
Why three days ago were there reports it worked. Eg
Investigational ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine protects monkeys against COVID-19 pneumonia
Witch Doctor Fauci must have placed a curse on this vaccine. . . .
Unexpected....
You mean like hydroxychloroquine?
That would kinda suck, no? Science.
cali study states antibodies work 100%- not 80%, or 90% but 100%-
But yeah, let’s keep farting around trying to find a vaccine while denying HCQ which we know works very well- folks are dying- but keep denying HCQ,
Throw money into antibody testing- now- get it to market- give it to the most vulnerable- if it continues to show 100% effectiveness- this shouldn’t be taking so long without anything to fight it while the government farts around testing vaccines- Keep testing- BUT get money to antibody terstign AND push HCQ which we know works now!
it still works. Gates’ retroviruses
and quantum dots are both injectible.
The common cold, which is caused mostly by coronaviruses, has been the subject of a futile search for a vaccine for over half a century. I’m not holding my breath.
There are a lot of gullible Fearpers here.
But at least those animals are helping.
They complied with their handlers.

From what a I’ve read they got the virus, but no illness resulted.
I’m not sure that getting the virus via the vaccine is a bad thing if there is no other problem other than you have a virus that can’t harm you. Plus, you’d hit that magic percentage for herd immunity relatively fast with no or little downside.
