Israeli scientists are reportedly only a few weeks away from having developed the first vaccine to combat the coronavirus, which originated in China, and could have the vaccine available 90 days after that.
“Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough,” Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis said, according to The Jerusalem Post. “I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
A team of scientists at MIGAL had been working for years on a vaccine against an infectious bronchitis virus (IBV).
“Our basic concept was to develop the technology and not specifically a vaccine for this kind or that kind of virus,” said Dr. Chen Katz, MIGAL’s biotechnology group leader. “The scientific framework for the vaccine is based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by self-activated endocytosis, causing the body to form antibodies against the virus.”
“Let’s call it pure luck,” Katz said. “We decided to choose coronavirus as a model for our system just as a proof of concept for our technology.”
The Jerusalem Post reported:
But after scientists sequenced the DNA of the novel coronavirus causing the current worldwide outbreak, the MIGAL researchers examined it and found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human one, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, which increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time.
“All we need to do is adjust the system to the new sequence,” Katz said. “We are in the middle of this process, and hopefully in a few weeks we will have the vaccine in our hands. Yes, in a few weeks, if it all works, we would have a vaccine to prevent coronavirus.”
The CEO of MIGAL said that the company is moving as fast as it can to make the vaccine available to the public in the form of a highly accessible oral vaccination.
Wow, fingers crossed that this is true.
Great news! Israel has been great in medical research!
Huh, they’re human testing a cure now. Only three weeks away. With a cure and vaccine along with summer weather, this thing might be history soon.

.
Israel, a living testimony to the authenticity and historical accuracy of scripture and prophecy. Mark Twain wrote about them and he was right. I didn’t think the vaccine would be developed by the Taliban.
Or China. Not ‘til they level with the world about what they’ve been up to in Wuhan.
Hopefully this is true. Now the lesson of this story is to get our manufacturing back to the U.S. from China.
Huh?
Not everybody has to wait for the FDA.
If people around me start dropping then it will show the vaccine didn’t work or made them worse off.
My house has been ready for a long term isolation from the outside for years. A lot longer than the puny cdc recommends.
The regimes and royal families will surreptitiously buy huge mounts for distribution to the rulers only. The rest will just need to tough it out.
Muzzie virus sufferers will learn that salvation is from the Jews.
Sorry, ragheads.

I was thinking of the same thing!
And what does get down to the masses the royals will say their labs created the vaccine.
They certainly healed Jimmeh Carter.
LOL!
Any cases reported in Israel yet?
Seems to have hit hard at Iran and the Vatican.
Ping!
No, they’ll say the Jews caused the virus so they could sell the cure!
Hope this works though. The preppers were looking sane this week.
