First Phase 3 test of coronavirus vaccine candidate begins in US
The Hill ^ | July 27, 2020 | Zack Budryk

An investigational vaccine developed by drugmaker Moderna and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases began Phase 3 trials on Monday, becoming the first candidate to reach that step in testing.

About 30,000 adult volunteers are set to be enrolled in the trial, according to CNN, which added that the first patient was dosed at a site in Savannah, Ga. A trial group will receive two 100 microgram injections of the candidate while a control group receiving a placebo, both about four weeks apart, the network noted.

I say. . .THANK YOU to the 30,000 volunteers. They are brave and helping out their fellow man and I salute them.

Apparently, they haven’t even started to enroll the 30,000 so we’re talking from now until about election time for any results.....which tells me this vaccine will fail. IMHO

All Politicians , MSM , Sports Elite and Holly-weird should be required to take it first

“Insanity. Why Gate’s and Fauci’s company?? Skipping animal trials?! RNA insertion? What is going on here.


“Pharma has 80 COVID vaccines in development, but Gates & Fauci pushed Moderna’s “Frankenstein jab” to the front of the line. Scientists & ethicists are sounding alarms. The vaccine uses a new, untested, and very controversial experimental RNA technology that Gates has backed for over a decade. Instead of injecting an antigen & adjuvant as with traditional vaccines, Moderna plugs a small piece of coronavirus genetic code into human cells, altering DNA throughout the human body and reprograming our cells to produce antibodies to fight the virus. MRNA vaccines are a form of genetic engineering called “germ line gene editing”. Moderna’s genetic alterations are passed down to future generations. In January The Geneva Statement the world’s leading ethicists and scientists called for an end to this kind of experimentation.
Moderna has never bought a product to market, proceeded through clinical trials, or had a vaccine approved by FDA. Despite Gates’ investments ,the company, was teetering on bankruptcy with $1.5 billion debt before COVID.
.
Fauci’s support won the company an astonishing $483 million in federal funds to accelerate development. Dr. Joseph Bolen, Moderna’s former R&D Chief, expressed shock at Fauci’s bet.” I don’t know what their thinking was”, he told CNN, “When I read that, I was pretty amazed”. Moderna and Fauci launched federally-funded human trials on March 3rd in Seattle. Dr Peter Hotez warns of potentially fatal consequences from skipping animal studies. “If there is immune enhancement in animals, that’s a show-stopper”. Dr Suhab Siddiqi, Moderna’s Ex-Director of Chemistry, told CNN, “I would not let the [vaccine] be injected in my body. I would demand: Where is the toxicity data?” Former NIH Scientist Dr. Judy Mikovits says its criminal to test MRNA vaccines on humans. “MRNA can cause cancers and other dire harms that don’t surface for years.” As precautions, Moderna ordered trial participants to avoid unprotected sex or sperm donations & Fauci directed that all COVID vaccines to be protected by blanket immunity. Gates hopes to sell his experimental gene-altering technology to all 7 billion humans & transform our species into GMOs.”

Fauci/NIH has an ownership stake in Moderna. A company that reportedly has never developed a vaccine. Fauci made sure that Moderna has no liability for its product.

Fauci should be on trial for Crimes Against Humanity for his role in silencing Dr. Judy Mikovits when she tried to warn the public of the animal retrovirus contamination in the vaccines.

Brave?

How about foolish. Anyone who take this vaccine is a fool

How could they test the vaccine without eventually exposing the people who took it to Covid?

FALSE. FALSE. FALSE.

mRNA does not alter DNA, it only serves as instructions for building proteins using the cell’s machinery.

RNA therapeutics are rapidly cleared from the cells. i.e. the RNA degrades quickly (days).

Also, RNA is not inserted. It is not passed down. mRNA is not germ line editing at all. It is not any kind of DNA editing.

Most vaccines and antivirals are not susceptible to meaningful animal testing because the virus does not affect any animals the way it does people.

When you get the virus it contains RNA instructions to build an entire virion (virus particle). It builds copies of itself in the cytoplasm (not cell nucleus) using the cell machinery. This vaccine is just using the cell machinery to build the protein spike. So it will do a tiny part of what the virus does, just enough to show the immune system the non-self protein we want it to react to with antibodies and killer T cells.

A key member of Moderna left the company to run Trump’s Warp Speed Initiative. Ever since that week, the slanders from the left have been flying.

If you are running a clinical trial, one good reason for warning the subjects against unprotected sex is to avoid complicating infections. Many or most viruses have to suppress immune function in order to evade it and reproduce successfully.

Gene editing technology is scary, but this is not gene editing. That is different technology. CRISPR for example. The whole Fauci ad hominem crap is like some negative version of “resort to authority” - If Fauci says something basic like 2+2=4 you think it must be an evil deception.

Oh wait, you saw something on Facebook. Facebook is like the newspaper. When have you had personal knowledge of a subject or event when the newspaper was right? Ever?

My FRiendly advice is 1) when lecturing always be sure you know your subject to at least ten times as deep as what you present, and 2) be self aware of your prejudices and emotional reactions.

And here’s two more doctors talking about early treatment:

Oh I agree with you about Hydroxychloroquine and other “gentle” immunosuppressants, and cocktails including zinc and antibiotics to suppress secondary infections that may be encouraged by the partial immunosuppression.

No doubt the Left has demonized the obvious and most noninvasive, already available, and inexpensive treatments. TDS.

The key is to suppress the cytokine storm ( immune system overreaction) causing lung damage without letting infections ( the original coronavirus and others, including bacterial) run amok.

Decreasing pathogenicity ( symptom relief), antivirals, serum from recovered patients, and vaccines are four different subjects/treatments and not mutually exclusive.

I’d rather take meds that have been in use for 50 years, than some rushed, new vaccine.

Look what happened to the Chinese folks that took the SARS vaccine some years back.

They were hit hard with the Wuhan virus, and many many died.
