India’s DNA COVID vaccine is a world first – more are coming

India has approved a new COVID-19 vaccine that uses circular strands of DNA to prime the immune system against the virus SARS-CoV-2. Researchers have welcomed news of the first DNA vaccine for people to receive approval anywhere in the world, and say many other DNA vaccines might soon be hot on its heels.

ZyCoV-D, which is administered into the skin without an injection, has been found to be 67% protective against symptomatic COVID-19 in clinical trials, and will probably start to be administered in India this month. Although the efficacy is not particularly high compared to that of many other COVID-19 vaccines, the fact that it is a DNA vaccine is significant, say researchers.

It is proof of the principle that DNA vaccines work and can help in controlling the pandemic, says Peter Richmond, a paediatric immunologist at the University of Western Australia in Perth. “This is a really important step forward in the fight to defeat COVID-19 globally, because it demonstrates that we have another class of vaccines that we can use.”

Close to a dozen DNA vaccines against COVID-19 are in clinical trials globally, and at least as many again are in earlier stages of development. DNA vaccines are also being developed for many other diseases.

“If DNA vaccines prove to be successful, this is really the future of vaccinology” because they are easy to manufacture, says Shahid Jameel, a virologist at Ashoka University in Sonipat, India.

Fast-tracked development The urgency of combating COVID-19 has fast-tracked the development of vaccines that use genetic technology, such as messenger RNA and DNA vaccines, says David Weiner, director of the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

like Novavax, this will never be approved in the US as there much, much more money to be made by Pfizer and Moderna with their present unproven liquids...

Altering the body’s DNA is the equivalent to altering your computer’s OS. If you screw up on a computer, it can brick it. If you screw up on a human body, well... you can bury it.

India has given Ivermectin to the Northern Hindu states, while withholding ivermectin to the southern Christian and untouchable areas. Indian leadership is as bad as US Leadership

First DNA ‘vaccine’? Did they forget about JnJ? Or does that one count as an mRNA one now?

Correct, our Lord has made our bodies to perfection. Any deviations to our divine DNA strands ALWAYS ends in pain and suffering. DNA genetic disorders are proof. ….” Forgive them for they know NOT a what they do” comes to mind.

This is somewhat related to using bacteria to make proteins they usually dont make like insulin......should not be messing with peoples dna-rna...Instead of being batteries as in the Matrix....we are the new recombinant bacteria, if the plasmid gets incorporated. Plasmid integration into host DNA was detected in mice back in 2004. You can find the article in the journal Nature 2004...by Wang,,Troilo, Griffiths, and others.

The north of India is Hindu and Muslim. There are also Christian’s heavily in punjab, while the states of mizoram and nagaland are nearly 100% Baptist Christian.

In the south there are states like Goa 34% Christian or Kerala 20% or Tamil nadu 10%, but Christianity is not limited to a geography.

Ditto for untouchable castes. They are spread out all over the country.

India does not "give" Ivermectin. However it is recommended by many individual states. Like Uttar Pradesh and Goa. Goa has a large Christian population.

Ivermectin is available Over The Counter for a very very small amount, in most pharmacies.

Please do read up before showcasing your biases.
