U.S. researchers have given the first shot to a healthy American volunteer in their test of an experimental coronavirus vaccine.
The medical breakthrough spearheads the worldwide hunt for protection against this surging pandemic. Ultimately, 45 volunteers at Seattle’s Kaiser Permanente research facility will be injected. (BBC News)
The vaccine cannot cause Covid-19 but contains a harmless genetic code copied from the virus that causes the disease.
Experts say it will still take many months to know if this vaccine, or others also in research, will work.
…
And this first human trial, funded by the National Institutes of Health, sidesteps a check that would normally be conducted – making sure the vaccine can trigger an immune response in animals.
But the biotechnology company behind the work, Moderna Therapeutics, says the vaccine has been made using a tried and tested process.
Volunteers will receive two shots in total, 28 days apart. Even if the preliminary results go well, it could take up to 18 months for a potential vaccine to become publicly available.

what country are the vaccines going to be made in?????
We will be collectively greedy and stupid enough to let China do it. We will ignore the 600lb gorilla in the room that screams this was a mild test run of a biological attack that was planned and deliberate. Two fold desirable outcome: return older population that is non-productive, stress test vulnerability of free world to biological warfare.
Physically we are doing okay but psychologically they have crippled us. And we will still foolishly grant them most favored.
Good question. How much of our 50 billion went to “researchers” in Communist China? Why so much foot dragging. Turns out FDA and CDC had nonsensical controls that delayed the test kits. FDA and CDC need new people at the top. FDA took some supplement off the market some years ago that were excellent for fighting flu. They are crooked, just like China.
Agreed. Manufacture the meds in USA. Bring back pharmaceutical companies like Parke Davis. Better pharmaceuticals, more jobs.
I hope is make in USA
Which by that time…DJT will have been re-elected, and the msm will be screaching about a new sky falling, (because he won again) and we’ll be subjected to more of the morons that populate cable. SOLUTION: Don’t listen, get a flu shot, stay away from sick children…like we do every year!
USA…USA…we need to go back to where we started when we hit the shores of Plymouth through that we strengthen our nation by having all the industries of all kinds here in USA…Made in America!
We STILL always look for the Label: Made in USA/America
Support our people, our business, our country and our independent status!
we have always been good to our country–let’s start again
The world will not support USA!
If they’re testing this vaccine on healthy American volunteers, how do they know if it works?
The report doesn’t say, but I’m guessing these volunteers must have to had also acknowledged contracting the virus at some point. These must be Americans that are in the bracket that are fairing very good and have recovered. Vaccines are preventive, they are applied before you get the illness for you to build the antibodies. They are not meant to cure the illness. Let’s hope and pray that everything goes well. If a vaccine is developed, that will be yet another win for the Trump Administration. I strongly hope we stay away from China for good and let them implode with their massive abortion and organ transplant industry, that murders thousands and thousands of Chinese every year. Let us claim back our pharmaceutical industry along with every other one that is in the hands of the Chinese. That the Chinese want America to fall should be no secret. We are the only thing, and Trump specifically, standing to stop the New World Order.
usually, vaccines are administered prophylactically to prevent or reduce the severity of a disease. not to cure it.
I listen to Dennis Preager period for the truth as he sees it.
Cj they don’t know yet..that’s why it’s called a ‘test on volunteers’ . There’s much, unknown about this virus..this flu virus mutates and reinvents itself every few years!!
That why it # 19.. all hang in stay home as much as possible, time to dig out the jig saw puzzles and old board games for family time! Drink lots of fluids..a few sips every 15 minutes.
No one knows how fast this virus mutates. The 19 was for the year that it was detected–2019, not the 19th version of the virus. There is still a lot to learn. All the standard advice given seems right on target. Wash your hands a lot, stay away from crowds, if you do get sick STAY HOME, and all the rest.
Do not vote for anybody unless you know their platform and unless they are from your state and have been there for ten years. Know their religion . Out of state people do not care about you or the state, just the job. Our last Governor moved back to OR. and that person used a state patrol officer to tend to and guard her dog.
Oh, WOW, a vaccine to be tested already is GREAT !!!
Considering that we just learned the vaccine was only in phase one of development but it is already here means that it is certainly not going to be a year before we have a vaccine.
Whoever the plotters are they’re already having a bad time.
Better it works in Washington state, than coming out of china.
Weapons are always made with the knowledge of the vaccine being available, and working.
If, within 2weeks, the test-tubes, (people) are creating T-Cells destroying the Corona virus, and multiplying in the systems, we will know that the vaccine is working.
We have Protien specific chemistry. Why can’t we design a killer Protien or a substrate specific enzyme to go in and kill those COVID-19 virus strands and while it out?
would someone tell me WHY the rush on toilet paper also none of the atm,s up here have paper in them, so far we have not had one case in upstate N Y.so I am thinking we are sooo lucky We will vote again for Trump and I agree it,s time to wake up and make and buy USA
We should develop our own medicines whenever possible, but use others if we can not duplicate them. We should never allow Russia, China, or any other enemies to control our medicines or our defensive weapons. Depend on ourselves and God, but do maintain allies who likewise are God fearing and peaceable.

Trump was right, Trump was right, Trump was right, about China and the administrations that got us into this mess. He has put us on a path to correcting past debacles. Are we going to return to power the very people who put us in this mess? We must get out and vote to keep Trump in office and continue on toward correcting the errors of the past administrations. A republican control congress and the removal of Pelosi and her minions will go a long way to ending the destruction they have caused.
Think about it. In January the USA was 2nd to none in every category. In two weeks the DOW lost 30% as pandemonium took over! School suspension, food shortages, sports events cancelled, travel limitations…
all because of fear. I am thankful for a President that called on us to PRAY! Praying restores our priorities. There is only One who has the power to restore our faith and clear our perspectives. When America returns to God, He will answer with grace and mercy, and once again be our guide in all things. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved.
If they can genetically code something to replicate why can’t they design it to self destruct or reverse. My understanding is viruses on a whole like warm moist dark climates. Are known also will eat themselves to death. Has anyone approached these factors. Too me sounds safer than an vaccination.
