“There was at least one experimental run with mRNA in a vaccine which was animal tested. I read it. It is now gone.”
In Conspiracy World that stuff always happens. The Cabal never sleeps and erases all traces of their nefarious deeds. In the rest of the world memory is faulty or the original writer made a mistake but that’s always too mundane and boring.
There have been mRNA vax trials for many diseases since the 1990s. Zika, Ebola, Flu, Cancer, HIV, Herpes Simplex. Those diseases are widespread and have been around for years. SARS-1 and MERS were rare and disappeared on their own. If they had been around longer then maybe someone would have tried making an mRNA vax for them. But no one did and that’s why you can’t find any record of one.
The vaccine trials for SARS-1 and for MERS were conventional deactivated whole viruses and they did provoke the immune disease that you claim for the non-existent “SARS-CoV-1 mRNA vaccine”
“What about a SARS vaccine? Vaccine studies for SARS-CoV-1 were started and tested in animal models. An inactivated whole virus was used in ferrets, nonhuman primates and mice. All of the vaccines resulted in protective immunity, but there were complications; the vaccines resulted in an immune disease in animals. No human studies were done, nor were the vaccine studies taken further because the virus disappeared. Many factors were involved in the end of SARS-CoV-1, perhaps including summer weather, and certainly strict quarantine of all those who had contact with infected individuals, but we don’t really know why the epidemic ended. Viruses are like that, unpredictable!
Many of the vaccines being developed for SARS-CoV-2 are quite different, and many use only small portions of the virus, or the virus RNA. This may circumvent the problems with SARS-CoV-1 vaccines that used more of the virus. Vaccine development has a large experimental component; we just have to make educated guesses and try different things and see what works. Hence, many different avenues for vaccines are being tested by different labs around the world.
Very helpful, Pelham, thanks.
