Moderna Inc’s (MRNA.O) experimental vaccine for COVID-19 showed it was safe and provoked immune responses in all 45 healthy volunteers in an ongoing early-stage study, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.
Volunteers who got two doses of the vaccine had high levels of virus-killing antibodies that exceeded the average levels seen in people who had recovered from COVID-19, the team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.
No study volunteers experienced a serious side effect, but more than half reported mild or moderate reactions such as fatigue, headache, chills, muscle aches or pain at the injection site. These were more likely to occur after the second dose and in people who got the highest dose.
Experts say a vaccine is needed to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic that has sickened millions and caused nearly 575,000 deaths worldwide.
Moderna was the first to start human testing of a vaccine for the novel coronavirus on March 16, 66 days after the genetic sequence of the virus was released.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose researchers developed Moderna’s vaccine candidate, called the results “good news,” noting that the study found no serious adverse events and the vaccine produced “reasonably high” levels of virus-killing or neutralizing antibodies.
“If your vaccine can induce a response comparable with natural infection, that’s a winner,” Fauci said in a telephone interview. “That’s why we’re very pleased by the results.”
Moderna shares jumped more than 15% in after-hours trading on Tuesday.

The ONLY question worth asking in my book: Does this vaccine use any products from aborted humans?
Reuters, Moderna .... No thank you.
Might want to take a look at this:
Very. Good. News.
Excellent.
Yes it is derived from fetal cell lines.
Good news. Here next comes the idiots telling us why they won’t get vaccinated (their choice no problem) but spouting their excellent grasp of immunology and virology thst is often wrong and never in doubt. Five seconds to bill gates Memes and conspiracy theories.
RE: Does this vaccine use any products from aborted humans?
From LifeSite News:
(EXCERPT)
Fetal Stem Cells Being Used
Several COVID-19 vaccine frontrunners, including those being developed by Moderna, Oxford University/AstraZeneca, CanSino Biologics/Beijing Institute of Biotechnology, and Inovio Pharmaceuticals, are using a human fetal kidney cell line called HEK-293 to develop their trial vaccines.
It might harm the unborn! It might harm the elderly! It might harm the black community! Aw.....never mind! Been there and still doing that.
It harms our opportunity to transform America!
I am not an anti-vaccer.
I am vehemently opposed to the use of fetal stem cells or other material obtained through abortion.
Make a vaccine without that and I’ll take it.
Ok ok..Let’s give it a trial.
Inject the people involved in making it and the ones that will make it mandatory
Yes, good news.
That said, I'm not sure that I'm willing to be injected with altered messenger RNA that uses MY cellular ribosomes to make antigens. My mind somehow envisions things that could go wrong (keep in mind, everyone's DNA is different, and not all ribosomes are identical.)
(Full disclosure, I have a small position in a competing company, and I, in no way, speak for them.)
Guess i came in too late for the obligatoey strawman posts to attempt to denigrate and shut down anyone who doesn’t think in complete lockstep/goosestep with them.
The media treats Fauci so reverently that I have a suspicion this is not as good as it sounds.
Hope it’s good though.
Look Karen,
no one will stop you taking the aborted baby derived vaccine.
I won’t but I fully support anyone who wants it to take it, or not take it.
You can’t say the same. No one can have a different opinion than you on this issue because you will just claim they are not informed like you are. Typical classic libtard move.
RE: CATASTROPHE: 20% of Human Test Subjects Severely Injured from Gates-Fauci Coronavirus Vaccine by Moderna
Is Bill Gates funding this Moderna trial?
Good. Make it available and I’ll get the vaccine for myself and my family.
RE: Good. Make it available and I’ll get the vaccine for myself and my family.
Wait to see what happens to the 45 healthy volunteers who took the shot.
Ummmm a virus uses YOUR cellular ribosomes to make copies of itself. So if you don’t want this vaccine fine. But literally every virus in the world does just that. So my best advice. Don’t ever get another infection.
