WHO suggests controversial 'challenge study' needed to help speed up search for coronavirus vaccine (infecting healthy volunteers)
Fox News ^ | May 07 2020 | Chris Irvine

The World Health Organization has suggested that deliberately infecting healthy volunteers with coronavirus may help speed up the search for a potential vaccine.

In a report released Wednesday, the WHO, who have been under pressure for their initial response to the outbreak in China and subsequent global pandemic, suggested that so-called “challenge studies” can “be substantially faster to conduct than vaccine field trials.”

“Well designed challenge studies might thus not only accelerate COVID-19 vaccine development, but also make it more likely that the vaccines ultimately deployed are more effective,” the report’s preamble suggests.

I think we should pay zero attention to anything that WHO suggests.

I’d like to volunteer Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Mike DeWine, and Amy Acton. I’m sure these 5 Democrats would be willing to suffer for the greater good.

IMHO, this is the only good recommendation coming from WHO. Of course the Chicoms are likely already using some of their various political prisoners INVOLUNTARILY to test any vaccines they may be developing.

Well, Jenner did it...

The smallpox vaccine, introduced by Edward Jenner in 1796, was the first successful vaccine to be developed

Here's some volunteers who don't want to wait for the inevitable

I didn’t need to hear one other word from Dr Judy Mikovits other than her comments on the flu vaccines to know she was telling the truth.

Everyone in my family gets violently ill from the flu vaccines pedaled every fall. When my dad was in the VA nursing home, we had to move heaven and earth to prevent them from giving him that shot.

My nephew was a healthy, happy kid before he got one of the last rounds of vaccines recommended by the Bill Gates crowd and endorsed by the medical community. Overnight - literally- my nephew was intellectually disabled and he’ll never be okay ever. He is 24 years old.

We aren’t lab rats and using the population as some sort of diabolical science fair experiment should stop.

Yesterday.

Agree with you. Notice her comment on many of the Italian deaths. We stopped flu shots 25 years ago on physician recommendation.

Pure madness.

We will not be forced to buy Microsoft Vaccine and Microsoft Antiviral.

Amen. The real risks need to be made clear and people need to be given an informed choice, and neither one is happening.

IF:

* Healthy people 20-40 CHOOSE to be infected to help with vaccine development (98%+ chance of getting better)

* They are given access to HCQ + 2 treatment EARLY in their illnesses while monitored by doctors (even better odds) and

* They are compensated for their efforts

I am 100% in favor

Guess that’s their Plan B....they could ask the state of WA for help - how to hold parties..

How come no one is ever ashamed of their absolute ridiculous actions? I’m not talking about the WA parties - I’m talking about those in charge at WHO and backtracking now.

We’ll soon see the same thing here with the “experts” - if they can ever round them all up again - there must be at least 1000 or more who have given us their expert advice...

The You Tube of Dr. Mikovits keeps getting pulled. Is there one surviving anywhere?

You Tube says “violated community guidelines” - yeah, sure, we get it. This should be the talk on all news stations today - where is the video??? I know - I’m dreaming again.

Well yeah. It is the most efficient way of finding out if a vaccine works.

Gone now...I received a different link late last night and it’s gone now also - Vimeo? It does list the complaint that was filed to make it disappear!

You have to go down the page a ways to see it, what’s at the top is an example of what is .seen at Youtube. Just page down 5 or 6 times and you should find it.

THis is definitely true. At some point, you need to test effectiveness. The “safe” way is to give the vaccine to a couple thousand people, and a placebo to a couple of thousand people, and then wait 3 months, and see how many of each get whatever hte disease was.

That works if the disease is widespread, and people are getting exposed to it fairly often.

But that won’t work in a lockdown. And won’t work if we are only getting 600 cases a day in a population of 8 million people, like in VIrginia, or if 90% of ACTUAL infections have no symptoms so nobody will know if you got it or not.

If you instead take 500 people, give half and half, and expose them all, you will know in 3 weeks if your vaccine works or not.

Normally we don’t do this if we don’t have an effective treatment, but given that we now know that healthy 30-year-olds have almost zero chance of getting anything serious out of this, it is time to go for it.
