In the worldwide race for a vaccine to stop the coronavirus, the laboratory sprinting fastest is at Oxford University.
Most other teams have had to start with small clinical trials of a few hundred participants to demonstrate safety. But scientists at the university’s Jenner Institute had a head start on a vaccine, having proved in previous trials that similar inoculations — including one last year against an earlier coronavirus — were harmless to humans.
That has enabled them to leap ahead and schedule tests of their new coronavirus vaccine involving more than 6,000 people by the end of next month, hoping to show not only that it is safe but also that it works.
The Oxford scientists now say that with an emergency approval from regulators, the first few million doses of their vaccine could be available by September — at least several months ahead of any of the other announced efforts — if it proves to be effective.
Now, they have received promising news suggesting that it might.
Scientists at the National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Montana last month inoculated six rhesus macaque monkeys with single doses of the Oxford vaccine. The animals were then exposed to heavy quantities of the virus that is causing the pandemic — exposure that had consistently sickened other monkeys in the lab. But more than 28 days later all six were healthy, said Vincent Munster, the researcher who conducted the test.
“The rhesus macaque is pretty much the closest thing we have to humans,” Munster said, noting that scientists were still analyzing the result. He said he expected to share it with other scientists next week and then submit it to a peer-reviewed journal.

None of my vaccinations came with a chip or app. Will this one?
When I went to the hospital I needed to prove that I had all of my shots. I had no idea where my childhood records were. They took some blood and came back with a list of what I needed.
You don’t really need a chip. They can tell what you have if they really need it.
Unlikely. That’s why I expect this one to go down in flames courtesy of Gates, Soros, and the CCP. They will come up with something to torpedo any rival. Even something involving taking life, of the researchers or the volunteers.
Yikes. The National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratory is in Hamilton, Montana only 160 miles southeast of us. There's a BSL-4 lab at the Rocky Mountain Labs: Bitterroot Valley. That's real comforting.
Integrated Research Facility at Rocky Mountain Labs (RML)
To carry out research on these emerging and re-emerging pathogens in a safe environment, an Integrated Research Facility opened on the RML campus in 2008. The building, which contains high containment laboratories, employs the highest possible safety standards to protect scientists and the surrounding community. Building design complies with stringent federal and state regulations for construction, use, security, inspection, and certification.
The IRF construction project began in fall 2004 and ended in 2008.

Using monkeys for test subjects is inhumane and should be outlawed. There are much better test subjects available. Lawyers come to mind. Why would lawyers make better lab animals than monkeys?
1. Lawyers multiply faster than monkeys.
2. People can get attached to monkeys.
3. There are some things monkeys won't do.
I know it's an old joke but if anyone can take a joke - it's a lawyer. That is, unless they can use the joke to sue you for slander and/or libel.
The Vaccine penetrates the brain and coverts conservatives into democrats.
RE:Using monkeys for test subjects is inhumane and should be outlawed.
Should we use humans instead?
Maybe we should ask China to send us their prisoners whose organs are slated to be harvested so that we can test them.../sarc
Any “wet markets” near you ?
Well, everybody in North Idaho hauls very wet fish out of the lakes and streams. Plus there is a lot of wild game butchering going on.
Now you have me really worried!
Oxford?! The same joint with the BS, economy-destroying, planet-freaking, uber way wrong models? That Oxford?
SNORT.
RE: Oxford?! The same joint with the BS, economy-destroying, planet-freaking, uber way wrong models? That Oxford?
Hey, it’s like Harvard and Yale, one of the top 10 universities in the world /sarc
Animal cruelty - no. Animal use (food, experimentation, pets) - yes.
Nice architecture, though.
You don’t really need a chip. They can tell what you have if they really need it.

But then you can’t be easily forced to be cashless or easily tracked or have the nanochip expel its cyanide if you have a failing “Social Credit Score”.
One of the best kept secrets around is BHT short for butylated hydroxy toluene.
It has been around for the better part of thirty years, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages some of the benefits are difficult to ignore even so pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so.
Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.
On the other hand many doctors may know about it but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.
Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirins. Again do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days.
Even so, if you still apprehensive or hesitant use it only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps 200 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it. The catch is that in order to do its job BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the corona virus. Even so if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.
So why to take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will remove the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such a virus and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.
The Principal Benefits of BHT
In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:
Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. Also BHT is effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and some strains of influenza.13 A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be treated by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat these infections.
The CORONAVIRUS is also a lipid covered virus and BHT affects the lipid covering and in turn prevents the virus from attaching itself and do its damage. Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.
I idly wonder how many people know why.
