Coronavirus Vaccine 'Weeks Away' From Being Developed, Says Head of Israeli Science Research Institute CORONAVIRUS VACCINE 'WEEKS' AWAY FROM BEING DEVELOPED, SAYS HEAD OF ISRAELI SCIENCE RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The head of a research institute in Israel has said its scientists are "weeks" away from developing a vaccine against the deadly new coronavirus which causes COVID-19.

The new virus that has killed over 2,800 people is a member of the large coronavirus family of pathogens, which also includes SARS and MERS. On Thursday, the MIGAL Galilee Research Institute said in a statement a new vaccine against a coronavirus which infects chickens has brought them a step closer to developing a preparation to protect against COVID-19.

According to the statement, a multi-disciplinary team created an Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) vaccine which has been shown to be effective in pre-clinical trials. The scientists found the bird virus has a similar genetic code to and infects individuals in the same way as the deadly new coronavirus in humans, of which there are over 83,000 cases as shown by the Statista map below. This "increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time," the institute said.

The scientists adjusted the IBV vaccine to the virus which causes COVID-19, and are working on meeting safety standards which will enable them to test it "in-vivo," or in living organisms. They hope these steps will "enable the initiation of production of a vaccine to counter the Coronavirus epidemic currently spreading throughout the world," the statement read.

Commenting on the news, David Zigdon, CEO of MIGAL said: "Given the urgent global need for a human coronavirus vaccine, we are doing everything we can to accelerate development.

"Our goal is to produce the vaccine during the next 8 to 10 weeks, and to achieve safety approval in 90 days. This will be an oral vaccine, making it particularly accessible to the general public.

* MIGAL is a regional research and development center of the Israeli Science and Technology Ministry, owned by the Galilee Development Company Ltd. Ofir Akunis, Israel's Minister of Science and Technology, congratulated the team "on this exciting breakthrough."

* Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security who was not involved in the research, told Newsweek on Friday he believes it is possible to adapt a vaccine for an avian coronavirus to human coronavirus.

"If the vaccine is shown to be efficacious and safe, roll out could be quite rapid given they could likely employ manufacturing centers making the prior poultry vaccine," he said.

Adalja added: "The challenge will be to conduct human trials rapidly to prove efficacy and secure regulatory agency approvals."

could be available in as little as 90 days because htey are gonna fast track it-

But you watch, if something goes wrong from the vaccine, they will blame Jews- If everything goes great- they won’t even acknowledge that Jews came to the rescue- like they always do- but if something goes wrong- the screaming against Jews will begin by the likes of ilhan and ilk-

I sure hope this is true, but the Israelis have a history of exaggerating this sort of thing.

They've announced several cancer cures over the years that have gone into the memory hole. IIRC, they announced a new one last year. Haven't heard a peep about it since.

Anyway, maybe this one will be for real.

“They’ve announced several cancer cures over the years that have gone into the memory hole. IIRC, they announced a new one last year. Haven’t heard a peep about it since.”

Perhaps they’re developing/testing and don’t have anything new to announce yet.

[HollyB]

But testing will take a long while.

[Grampa Dave]

“They’ve announced several cancer cures over the years that have gone into the memory hole. IIRC, they announced a new one last year. Haven’t heard a peep about it since.”

Which is why the NEMJ and BJM are still the standards re studies and realities.

“The head of a research institute in Israel has said its scientists are “weeks” away from developing a vaccine against the deadly new coronavirus which causes COVID-19.”

And that’s when the fun begins. The process to get anything coming from outside the country is approximately the same as within. But getting the Israeli Science and Technology Ministry to conform to US guidelines is going to be an adventure. If at any point the study they are doing requires the FDA any information, which would be all of it, the study under US rules cannot continue. Tell them that.

It is a huge amount of hoops to jump through and can add years on to a study of a single drug. Here are the guidelines established by and for the FDA:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4435682/

It isn’t going to be easy to get this drug on the market in the US especially when the guidelines we require are in use. It is not a supplement by definition so it generally takes years to get it through the FDA unless they pencil whip it. And that, at this time, would be obvious. Further because the sales of this product world wide would be astronomical outside of the US, it wopuld make the demand easily outrun the supply. And unless we are willing to pay exuberant prices, along with the consumer covering the cost losses, it stays outside the US unless black market brings it in. And then how much will it cost? This whole process is flawed and is a joke. But people who don’t understand what the process is, will blame the government (Trump), the pharm companies, or pay a price as high as the national debt.

But who will get the limited supplies? And then everyone will pay for it in taxes, just not for yourself.

this report is from a very credible place and it also sounds like an entirely plausible explanation why they are doing so well at developing the vaccine

still and all, my best guess is that the various governments will require more than 90 days testing before mass marketing begins

(selective availability on some sort of high risk test basis...could happen faster, however, but exactly how such determinations would be made for a vaccine ...as opposed to a treatment... I am uncertain?)

[samtheman]

Best countries for a quick test:

China
S Korea
Italy

It’s just about every researcher with a pulse and a need for funding. That’s why I’m always skeptical about these announcements. A lot of these projects are all about asking for money now and begging for forgiveness when the stated miracle product fails to materialize. Odds in many cases are that some of these “breakthroughs” were just brainstorms on a white board attached to a funding request.

The vaccine industry Yes industry it is over $100 billion a year is pure evil and cares about nothing except profits

They have millions of dead bodies and ruined lives to show for their products

You’ll notice like clapping seals how all members of the media , including conservative media and conservative Republicans, are all trained to say that when is the vaccine going to be ready?

No lineup like good little government subjects and inject what we say and to your bloodstream ! No questions asked now children !

I called them do gooders from hell

Remember the giant measles hyper scare last year everybody?

Remember how democrat legislatures in my stayed here in California and New York all passed mandatory vaccine laws that everybody has to do it no matter what their objections?

What happened to that?

Did you know that the vaccine industry now has over 100 different vaccines that they want to force you to take for your own good ?

OK rant off

Now what is the solution to combating viruses and bacteria and keeping your body healthy?

The answer my free republic friends is colloidal silver

Ping!

Read also the largest travel agency in China just filed for bankruptcy there.

Kirkland has a retirement home on lockdown. Over a dozen suspected cases.

[DoughtyOne]

Over the last 48 to 72 hours, 21 more nations have reported their first case.

I found it odd that all these little bergs found their first case within this
short window after a month of this virus circling the planet.

These new nations represent around 25-33% of the total of all nations now
reporting.

They’re little bergs of a nation too. Strange.

Last 48 hours:

Azerbaijan
Belarus
Denmark
Estonia
Iceland
Lithuania
Mexico
Monaco
Netherlands
New Zealand
Nigeria
North Ireland
Qatar
San Martine

Here are the ones if you extend it out to 72 hours.

Brazil
Georgia
Greece
North Macedonia
Norway
Pakistan
Romania

That’s 21 out of the 61 nations reporting...

...all finding their first case in the last 48 to 72 hours.

[Fai Mao]

If it works you should remind the creeps yelling for “Divestment” that this comes from Israel and that it is morally wrong for them to take the vaccine until the Palestinians are given control of Israel.

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

[gibsonguy]

Don’t get too excited best case 6 months to year.

[TigerClaws]

Good info. Thanks for posting.

why all the CAPS?!?, 3 other cures found in past 2 weeks.....
You can ‘ find’ all you want, its the getting the serum shot at your local Rexall et.al. is the trick.
