Imagine a vaccine without having to endure the dreaded needle. Sounds good, right? This is what immunologist and chief scientific officer at Vaxart, Dr. Sean Tucker is currently working on.
In an exclusive story by Daily Mail, Dr. Tucker hopes that by nearly next year, they would have already obtained large quantities of the material used in their study as well as millions of doses of the vaccine ready for use.
According to him, when COVID-19 first appeared, Chinese scientists shared the virus's sequences as early as they could, so that experts all over the world could start making vaccines for it, anticipating that it was crucial.
He said his team started their trials towards the end of January, and by February, they knew it was getting serious, which was why they started stepping up.
The Race for Coronavirus Vaccine
Dr. Tucker is trialing an array of different coronavirus vaccine candidates at his California lab. His team's vaccines are made from dead adenovirus, which is one of the causes of the common cold. The team also inserted some of the genetic make-up of the coronavirus into it.
The vaccines are being trialed on mice and are tested to be deemed fit for manufacturing. So far, Tucker says the results of the trials have been promising. At the beginning of July, some of the vaccine candidates will start human trials.
Different from the other vaccines, Tucker's vaccines will be in the form of a tablet, which would mean it would be less invasive and potentially cheaper.
The last vaccine Tucker worked on was a tablet-based flu vaccination, which started in 2015 and completed trials in January. The said project was a joint project between Vaxart and Stanford University.

No to the vaccine but I’ll take some HCQ to go.
How does the active material survive a trip through your stomach acid?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Try it on democrats...rats are better to test on than mice.
RE: Promising Results Shown in Mice
We have a cure for a lot of diseases. Heck, we already have a cure for cancer. Good news if you’re a mouse.
Success with mice? Perhaps it should next be tested on ‘Rats.
Two shots a day of Bourbon prevents it according to recent experimentation here.

I don’t get it. 20 seconds with Ivory Soap and water kills this thing deader than a doornail, but a weakened version survives your stomach acid?
Are they actually closer to humans?
Why not just take vitamin D? If your immune system is compromised from poor nutrition a vaccine will have little effect.
Do you have food allergies? That is a sure sign that your immune system is marginal.
A vaccine is an attempt to get your immune system to go into fight mode against a stimulant that mimics a serious disease to create anti bodies. If your immune system is weak, even the best vaccine will only stimulate a week response.
The fact that most people are asymptomatic to Covid points out clearly that those who get sick have a weak immune response. A vaccine will not help them much if at all anyway. For them, focusing on building their immune strength is the proper course of action.
Nutrition does that, not bio poisons and big gulps with fries.
I’ll take my HCQ once/week thank you until I see several years of vaccine results
There’s a way to encapsulate it using a concept tested for a diabetic “pill”.
Rats/democrats are closer to humans than mice.

Methyl Alcohol worked great in Iran... reportedly
Am I being a little too suspicious that a weird disease gets released from a Chinese lab, and then a few weeks later there’s a vaccine they can sell millions of doses of for probably a $1 trillion across the planet?
Why does this feel like, “ OK everybody we’re going to give you a shower”?
What are the stats for the mice that realize they are guinea pigs, pun intended, and hide the pill, only to flush down toilet when the human’s blink or stop looking.?
Been trapping mice in the past few weeks, they are smart, having to change the bait and test their temptation smell buds.
That has come to mind and scares the shit out of me..especially considering Bill Gates involvement.
