University Of Oxford: Ebola Vaccine To Begin Human Trials
India Education Diary ^ | Jan 5, 2022

Posted on 01/08/2022 9:20:41 PM PST by nickcarraway

The study will assess the immune response and safety of the new vaccine against the Zaire and Sudan species of Ebola.

A planned sample of 26 participants – who must be assessed as healthy and aged 18 to 55 – will all receive one dose of the ChAdOx1 biEBOV vaccine at the University. Following vaccination, participants will be monitored through several visits over a six-month period, with results expected in the second quarter of 2022.

The vaccine is based on the ChAdOx1 virus, a weakened version of a common cold virus (adenovirus) that has been genetically modified so that it is impossible for it to replicate in humans. This vector has been previously used successfully in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine – or the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.

Professor Teresa Lambe OBE, Associate Professor at the Jenner Institute and Lead Scientific Investigator, University of Oxford, said: ‘The 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa cost more than 11,000 lives and had a catastrophic effect on healthcare systems.

‘Sporadic Ebolavirus outbreaks still occur in affected countries, putting the lives of individuals – especially frontline health workers – at risk. We need more vaccines to tackle this devastating disease.’

Dr Daniel Jenkin, Principal Investigator of the trial at the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford, said: ‘Recent advances have led to the approval of vaccines against one of the viruses that causes Ebola virus disease. However, this disease can be caused by several different species of virus and each of these may require a targeted immune response to offer protection.

‘We have designed our new vaccine to target the two species of virus that have caused nearly all Ebolavirus outbreaks and deaths, and now look forward to testing this in phase I clinical trials.’

Dr Paola Cicconi, Chief Investigator of the trial at the Jenner Institute, University of Oxford, said: ‘The need for a multivalent vaccine, approved for use against multiple Ebolavirus species, remains unmet. Experience with ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine) has shown the vaccine can be rapidly manufactured at high volume for low cost, with storage conditions amenable to use in the developing world.

‘This study will provide valuable data on the safety and immunological aspects of a novel multivalent Ebolavirus ChAdOx1 vaccine.’

I thought it was going to be small pox. But, I guess ebola is next.

What are the odds ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine can cure ebola?

The ebola vaccine could be their plan to get our guns.

But the overall plan, which includes the current vaccines, doesn’t seem to be going the way they wanted.

‘vaccine’ ... more horsesh*t

and they’ll tell people the world over they must get jabbed with it and then it’ll spread everywhere. a rarely seen highly localized will ‘unexpectedly’ spread worldwide.

seems to me the best solution to stop the spread of these crazy viruses isn’t to kill the virus... but to kill the virus makers

They are already using several versions of an experimental Ebola virus vaccine based on adenovirus technology. It has essentially stopped the epidemic in Central Africa. So this is another vaccine that can be used, but not the only one.

The adenovirus template is also the basis of the British covid vax, the Astro Zeneca shot that I got here in the Philippines.

What are the odds ebola is a laboratory created virus?

“What are the odds ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine can cure ebola?”

It is certain that a vaccine will be used as a method of political control, not as a public health solution.

“God help us.”

This is the best treatment.

Thanks for the link to ebola vaccines...
There were lectures in my CME education about why using adenovirus and other viruses make a stronger vaccine than traditional dead viruses or weakened viruses.

In covid, the Chinese Sinovax uses the dead virus and has been widely used here in Asia starting months before the US vaccines came out...but they found it had low protection...70 percent against original covid, 40 percent against delta and doesn't work for omnicron.

The Chinese are now pushing newer vaccines, but they also shut down parts of the country since Christmas due to new outbreaks. They claim few deaths, which may be true because even with a huge surge of covid here in the Philippines we have had only a couple hundred deaths a day.

The Chinese are also hoarding food...which suggests famine is coming.
