・Bloomberg reported on Friday that Moderna’s hantavirus research is “early-stage and ongoing” and began well before the cruise-ship cluster was identified.
・No hantavirus vaccine is currently approved anywhere in the world, and human clinical trials for Moderna’s candidates have not yet begun.
・Moderna’s vaccine sales have undergone a dramatic post-pandemic decline.
Shares of Moderna Inc. (MRNA) closed 12% higher on Friday, clocking its best day in over two months, after the company confirmed it has been pursuing early-stage research into mRNA-based vaccines against hantaviruses.
Moderna’s ongoing hantavirus efforts, reported by Bloomberg, coincide with heightened public attention on a rare outbreak linked to the Dutch-flagged MV Hondius. According to the World Health Organization’s Disease Outbreak News report issued earlier this week, seven cases — two laboratory-confirmed hantavirus infections and five suspected — have been identified among passengers and crew.
Three people have died, one remains critically ill, and others have reported fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and rapid progression to pneumonia. Illness onsets occurred between early April and late April 2026 during the ship’s voyage from Ushuaia, Argentina, through Antarctic waters and across the South Atlantic; the vessel is now anchored off Cape Verde.

I usually bump mine up when I get a hint of a cold or sniffles. Works foe me. Your results may differ.
I have multiple respiratory allergies, so for over 50 years have been taking 6 to 8 grams a day. On the rare occasions when I get sick, a day or two with up to 24 grams a day spaced out usually gets rid of the problem.
Thank you. Timely information for a family member.
Same here - and the Hanta Virus is pretty rare, except in China, where they have about 200K cases a tear (which, with their population and rats, makes it still pretty rare. Between N. and S. America, there’s between 150 - 200 cases a year and those are mainly in S. America in places like Belize.
The mRNA folks need a lab of live humans to experiment on and it’s gonna kill a lot of people to “solve” this nothingburger”.
The WHO can go to Hell.
