Mainecoons Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Breaking news: https://www.defenseone.com/technology/2021/12/us-army-creates-single-vaccine-effective-against-all-covid-sars-variants/360089/ Sounds like we'll know in a few weeks whether this is a really serious breakthrough or just another flash in the pan. Apparently they've been working on it for two years since early 2020 and have done some trials. Source looks credible. Quote Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide. The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well. Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One. The new vaccine will still need to undergo phase 2 and phase 3 trials. Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reed’s SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein. “It's very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,” Modjarrad said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a mighty optimistic time frame, especially in less well-developed countries like Mexico. And you have supposedly developed countries like the U.S. where there is still a large portion of the population that refuses to get vaccinated.

Maybe they know something you don't. Maybe they have noticed that these so called vaccines were offered as the solution only to find the vaccinated get and spread covid and the "vaccines" aren't very effective against the natural evolution of this virus. Maybe after massive flip flopping some don't find the purveyors of these vaccines very credible. Maybe they wonder why if these "vaccines" are so safe the casualty list from them has already well exceeded the thresholds for withdrawal followed in the past. Maybe they wonder why their makers are exempt from being held accountable even for bad batches that hurt people. Maybe some should start following the money, notice the 6 major corporations that dominate the "news" NOB are mostly foreign held and their news departments have accepted many millions of dollars from Pfizer and Moderna for advertising. Maybe some should pay less attention to a bureaucrat "doctor" who has never seen or treated patients and more attention to the thousands of doctors who have and who know covid is treatable. In short, maybe some should start to apply the same level of skepticism to this whole covid business they would apply for purchasing routine goods and services. Buyer beware is even more important when it comes to one's health. Given the actual inventor of mRNA has warned us about vaccines based on it I wonder if this one will have the same issues. Nevertheless, you have to admire the brilliance of looking at corona viruses as a whole and addressing a possible vaccine from that perspective. 1 5 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 I am very happy that there will be yet another vaccine available. I am equally sure that it will not be perfect nor come without side effects. Such is life. You can denigrate the current vaccines all you like but they have probably saved millions of lives and/or prevented severe illness or hospitalization. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickS Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 ....and maybe all of that is just someone looking to discredit any and everything with conspiracies. Most hospitas report that 80-90% of their covid patients are unvaccinated!

happyjillin Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Just think if a bunch of bullfarb spreaders would have had any success when we were all "forcefully" vaxxed at school in the 50's. 4 cases of polio this year in 4 African countries. What say you to that you bullfarb spreaders of dangerous rhetoric. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexijims1 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Ironically, when we grew up there was mandatory polio vaccinations given in schools and you did not see any resistance on the part of the parents to get that vaccine. And polio was pretty much eradicated in the western world as a result. The world was a much more sane place then !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there were no instant & free global platforms for trolls and foreign agents to put wacky claims into the heads of the uneducated. Mandatory vaccination is coming, basically IMHO, governments are just going to handle it in a way that the vast majority of the population demands / requires it, and we're pretty much just about there. The anti-vaxxers can then run off and start their own countries and live happily in their dystopian Mad Maxx world. Maybe No-vax Djokovich can be their new leader as he retires from tennis. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
