The recent outbreak aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship has renewed attention on the efforts to develop a vaccine for the virus.
…
Work on the vaccine began 15 years ago by the founders of EnsiliTech, a biotech company based in the U.K. "We looked at hantavirus and saw it was pretty neglected," said Matt Slade, a company co-founder and its chief of staff. "There wasn't really any work in the sector."
The EnsiliTech vaccine, which is being developed to fight the virus, uses messenger RNA technology, similar to that used in COVID-19 shots. The hantaan virus, common in East Asia, is the cause of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, a condition characterized by internal bleeding and kidney damage.
…
Moderna has conducted successful trials in rodents, the animals responsible for transmitting hantavirus to humans. Slade, however, estimates it will be another three to four years before the vaccine, which has not yet begun human testing, reaches early-stage clinical trials. Slade also indicated that the company might develop a second vaccine specifically targeting the Andes strain, the one linked to the recent cruise ship outbreak.
Completing the Phase 2 and 3 trials for the vaccine will likely take an additional five years without the significant support, such as the U.S. government's Operation Warp Speed initiative, which expedited the development of Covid vaccines during President Donald Trump's first term. Slade also noted that while he is aware of a few other hantavirus vaccines in the preclinical stage, none have progressed to human trials yet.
…
“As was the case with Covid, that can be shortened quite significantly because you get emergency access and get emergency approval," Slade said. "But if everything kind of stays as with a typical vaccine development, that's what we would expect to see."

Democrats should line up for the shot!
Pharmaceutical companies do not want you healthy.

Guinea pigs wanted.
Are they going to get immunity from prosecution/lawsuits this time, too?
Quick - give them $10 billion!

mRNA to the rescue. That’s the beauty of mRNA. Once you have the signature protein you can quickly create a vaccine.
Of course...
Five to ten people people die of hantavirus in the United States each year.
But let’s force everybody to get vaccinated. For the chil’ren.
“Are they going to get immunity from prosecution/lawsuits this time, too?”
That’s been law since 1986 and it hasn’t changed since.
Five to ten people die of hantavirus in the United States each year, Dr. Mengele.
you mean like last time? It doesnt prevent, cure or stop transmission but gets the shot in you for some reason...
Masks
Six Foot Spaceing
School Closures
Forced Clot Shots
ETC....

Six Years since We Heard these Words.
I was speaking of a hypothetical. Hanta is not the pandemic kind since its transmission is so low.
Yep
Nope
Take your shot and shove it.
