Vaccine for Coronavirus

I heard this weekend that several of the team's researching for a vaccine had come up with some success. What are the most promising and will it be ready in time to make for everyone?

Yes, been hearing very encouraging news for several weeks on the vaccine front. I think there are reasons to be optimistic that by this time next year, at the latest, there will be a vaccine being distributed worldwide.

I think the one I heard the most was one from Oxford or Oxford group, what are they?

Pfizer had really good news yesterday. Made the stock market pop up big.

Lots of vaccines being worked on with tons of money being thrown into the effort - unprecedented in human history in searching for a vaccine.

Here I found the info on the Oxford group...
"Alok Sharma, the Business Secretary, said on Sunday that the clinical trial at the University of Oxford is progressing well and, if it proves successful, the doses could be ready by the end of the summer.

He said he was “very proud” of how quickly British scientists and researchers have “come together in their efforts developing a vaccine," adding that the speed of Oxford trial is "genuinely unprecedented".... "

but they add this...."But the Government has cautioned that an effective coronavirus vaccine may never be found."

What did they say, I don't see it in the regular news, was it in a medical journal?

Looks pretty good....
"CNN) — Study subjects who received Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine had positive early results, according to the biotech company, which partnered with the National Institutes of Health to develop the vaccine.

If future studies go well, the company’s vaccine could be available to the public as early as January, Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s chief medical officer, told CNN.

“This is absolutely good news and news that we think many have been waiting for for quite some time,” Zaks said."....https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/moderna-says-early-coronavirus-vaccine-results-are-encouraging/ar-BB14fNxq

Fort Russ News????

They openly claim to not report objectively.

Based in Belgrade.

They claim to be “populist communitarian“, whatever in the world that means.

I noticed that have a story about a drug in China that is supposed to stop COVID-19. Apparently, Fort Russ News just accepts China’s word for it. Not a bad thing to say about this report from China.

OK, You let me know how it goes. Sounds like a very bad result if you get the real virus after the vaccine, but I’m sure Fauci/Gates will be straight with us.....or not.

AstraZeneca advances response to global COVID-19 challenge as it receives first commitments for Oxford’s potential new vaccine

AZD1222 vaccine, US is buying 300 million doses, phase 3 trials soon
U.S. commits $1.2 billion to production of Oxford coronavirus vaccine

Trump's Operation warp speed leaves Fauci in the dust with his multiyear forecast, since this vaccine may be ready this fall.

AZD1222 SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine

Made from a modified corona virus that causes the common cold, this vaccine will be cheap and easy to make many doses. I suppose one other good thing about it, it may also be a vaccine for the common cold.

It seems there are 3 vaccines that look promising...

"On May 18, US biotech firm Moderna revealed the first data from a human trial: its COVID-19 vaccine triggered an immune response in people, and protected mice from lung infections with the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The results — which the company, based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, announced in a press release — were widely interpreted as positive and sent stock prices surging. But some scientists say that because the data haven’t been published, they lack the details needed to properly evaluate those claims.

Tests of other fast-tracked vaccines show that they have prevented infections in the lungs of monkeys exposed to SARS-CoV-2 — but not in some other parts of the body. One — a vaccine being developed at the University of Oxford, UK, that is also in human trials — protected six monkeys from pneumonia, but the animals’ noses harboured as much virus as did those of unvaccinated monkeys, researchers reported last week in a bioRxiv preprint. A Chinese group reported similar caveats about its own vaccine’s early animal tests this month.

Despite uncertainties, all three teams are pressing ahead with clinical trials. These early studies are meant mainly to test safety, but larger clinical trials designed to determine whether the vaccines can actually protect humans from COVID-19 could report in the next few months."....Coronavirus Vaccine Trials Have Delivered Their First Results—But Their Promise Is Still Unclear
