Pfizer Begins Human Trials of Possible Coronavirus Vaccine In Partnership with German Pharma

Pfizer and the German pharmaceutical company BioNTech announced that their potential coronavirus vaccine began human trials in the United States on Monday. If the tests are successful, the vaccine could be ready for emergency use here as early as September.

The two firms are jointly developing a vaccine candidate based on genetic material known as messenger RNA, which carries the instructions for cells to make proteins. By injecting a specially designed messenger RNA into the body, the vaccine could potentially tell cells how to make the spike protein of the coronavirus without actually making a person sick.

Because the virus typically uses this protein as a key to unlock and take over lung cells, the vaccine could train a healthy immune system to produce antibodies to fight off an infection. The technology also has the advantage of being faster to produce, and tends to be more stable than traditional vaccines, which use weakened virus strains.

Moderna, Inovio, CanSino and several other pharmaceutical companies are trying similar approaches, some of which began the first phase of tests in humans a few weeks ago. But no vaccine made with this technology for other viruses has ever reached the global market.

Pfizer, which is based in New York, and BioNTech injected the first human volunteers with their vaccine candidate, called BNT162, in Germany last month. The experimental shot was given to just 12 healthy adults, although the trial will eventually expand to 200 participants.

Don’t let Bill Gates or Dr. FRAUD anywhere Near this vaccine!

[Salman]

If it works, could be bad news for Democrats.

[Meatspace]

If Pfizer wants to sell a lot of COVID vaccines, they should blend it with Viagra.

With that, the vaccine recipients and their girlfriends will know when the vaccine is no longer viable.

[Macoozie]

What are they going to call it “Zyklon W”? “Agent Wuhan”? “Tholido-WuHu”?

Oh Boy, Sign me up for the first batch of shots! /s

[Sacajaweau]

Here's my problem. What's an acceptable rate of effectiveness.

The last two flues had 25% and 48%.

...on genetic material known as messenger RNA

Let's make this very clear. This will go into your DNA thereby altering your God given DNA forever from you to your family for generations if you live through it.

[ssfromla]

Don’t let Bill Gates or Dr. FRAUD anywhere Near this vaccine!

Ann, their hands are all over every single vaccine being brought out to the masses.

“Don’t be such big baby. Ze vaccine is for your own good!”

[ssfromla]

What's an acceptable rate of effectiveness.

For me there is no acceptable rate.

They are messing with your DNA.

I'd call it the Frankenstein vaccine. A little of this rat (retroviruses), throw in some bat (covid) along with the usual aluminum and other shit they put in their brews then shove it in to your DNA.

Warp Speed vaccines for the masses and yet Bill and his family has never taken one single vaccine. Just think about that for a minute.

Pfug Pfizer.

Whoever delivers this first ‘batch’....is probably in the 25-percent effective range. By summer of next year, there’s probably going to be sixteen different ‘batches’, and some idiots will have vaccinated themselves with all sixteen types. It just begs more and more questions.

[Cobra64]

Ok, so the virus runs its course and disappears. Then two months later, people take a vaccine for something that no longer exists. Makes sense to me /sarc

[Cobra64]

Yeah, but it’s only good for four hours.

[GotMojo]

scalability of this platform is key.....its not a given that this platform can be scaled to 1B doses, its not just about the equipment / facilities, rather the formulation itself......
