The first human trial in the U.S. began in March. That vaccine is made by Moderna Inc. and is being administered at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle. Forty-five healthy adults, aged 18 to 55, are enrolled in that trial, each of whom will receive two shots, 28 days apart.

I’m hoping that they’re testing candidates volunteers for vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Insights welcome.

ALL candidates for COVID-19 vaccines should be have human trials completed. Let’s not make the mistake we made with SARS and stop pursuing vaccines if COVID-19 goes away.

Who knows, one or more of the vaccines being developed now possibly could be effective in the future against the next coronavirus that China unleashes on the world.

“We have put more money than any other country into a global search for a vaccine. He’s pledged around $25 million in public funding for the Oxford project and an additional $27 million to research initiatives at Imperial College”

I doubt that! The way we’re throwing money at this thing, 50 million is round off errors.

As I’ve said, the US government should have addressed coming up with and disseminating a vaccine in a Manhattan Project approach.
We’re totally at the mercy of foreign governments and market forces re:a vaccine. The best we can hope for - in the US - is maybe for something to get going in a year or two. A vaccine would end the nightmare post-haste.

I’m not taking a COVID-19 Vaccination, nor do I ever take a flu Vaccination nor do I get the flu.

The largest trial in human history was just done in JAN-MAR... those many millions taking HCQ already had virtually zero deaths worldwide, while the control group... the rest of us... had quite a few more.

Can't say the sample size was too small, can't say that it wasn't an amazing success, can't say that the possible side effects are unknown or even serious (47 in one million get a mild heart arrhythmia, even fewer get some blurred vision, and that's with long term use... not the 5-day course require for Covid-19). It's cheap, plentiful, easy to manufacture, FDA approved, and now thoroughly tested on a global scale. Quit the games and profiteering, and get it out there even more than it already is.

(My ex has a 3-month supply for arthritis, I can have 5 pills to anyone in my circle within a day, if needed. Just need the Z-Pak and Zinc to maximize effectiveness.)
