Report: US Scientists Have Completed A Coronavirus Vaccine
Right Journalism ^ | 03.13.2020 | Alex D.

Posted on 03/13/2020 2:03:02 PM PDT by USA Conservative

So far we have 144,094 Coronavirus Cases 5,397 Died 70,920 Recovered.

Things are serious bu the mainstream media is pushing for even more panic.

There are currently no proven therapies for the latest outbreak, which has spread worldwide since emerging from the Chinese city of Wuhan a little over two months ago.

Things should relax after a team of US scientists confirmed that they have completed a Coronavirus vaccine.

As the Daily Mail reported:

Scientists at Greffex, a Houston, Texas-based genetic engineering company, claim they’ve created a coronavirus vaccine.

The company told the Houston Business Journal that it had completed development of the vaccine and it is ready for animal testing and review by US regulators.

Developing a vaccine, however, is just the first step toward distributing one. Most estimates suggest that from, testing and production could take between 18 months and two years, though Greffex has not announced its timeline.

Greffex’s vaccine comes after the National Institutes of Health (NIH) gave the company a grant of up to $18.9 million to develop a ‘plug-and-play’ platform that would let it add a few specific ingredients, so to speak, to it’s basic formula and quickly design vaccines.

Now that the candidate vaccine is read, they’ll have to test it in animals, then begin phase 1 clinical trials in people, followed by another two phases of human trials, and ultimately Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.

Vaccines can take upwards of a decade to develop, from soup to nuts.

Even with all the expediting possible, testing required by the FDA is thorough and time-consuming, so fast production of a vaccine will still like to take 18 months to a year.

But if things get more serious they will need to speed up the process.

Scientists at the University of Texas, Austin, had to recreate a molecule that makes up the spike protein on the surface of the coronavirus (now know as SARS-CoV-2) in order to create a three-dimensional map of the structure.

And the compound they made to do so itself can work as a vaccine, triggering an immune response to the virus, they believe.

Like the UT Austin team and their collaborators at Moderna Therapeutics, the Greffex team believe that their process for production is among the fastest available to produce a vaccine.

‘The trick in making a vaccine is can you scale the vaccine that you’ve made to be able to make a certain number of doses, can you test the vaccine quickly and efficiently and then can you get it into patients – and that’s where we have an edge as well on the other companies that are out there,’ Greffex CEO John Price told

KHOU.

Scientists should find a way to stop the spreading of COVID-19.

Team of Israeli scientists is reportedly on its way to create a vaccine for Coronavirus, From the Galilee Research Institute website:

After 4 years of research funded by Israel’s Ministry of Science & Technology, MIGAL’s researchers have developed an effective vaccine against avian coronavirus Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV), to be adapted soon and create a human vaccine against COVID-19

Israel’s Minister of Science and Technology, Mr. Ofir Akunis, commented: “Congratulations to MIGAL on this exciting breakthrough. I am confident that there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat.” Minister Akunis has instructed the Director General of the Ministry of Science and Technology to fast-track all approval processes with the goal of bringing the human vaccine to market as quickly as possible.

After 4 years of multi-disciplinary research funded by Israel’s Ministry of Science and Technology in cooperation with Israel’s Ministry of Agriculture, MIGAL has achieved a scientific breakthrough that will lead to the rapid creation of a vaccine against Coronavirus. This possibility was identified as a by-product of MIGAL’s development of a vaccine against IBV (Infectious Bronchitis Virus), a disease affecting poultry, whose effectiveness has been proven in pre-clinical trials carried out at the Volcani Institute. MIGAL has now made required genetic adjustments to adapt the vaccine to COVID-19, the human strain of coronavirus, and is working to achieve the safety approvals that will enable in-vivo testing, enable the initiation of production of a vaccine to counter the Coronavirus epidemic currently spreading throughout the world, which so far has claimed 2,666 lives.

From research conducted at MIGAL, it has been found that the poultry coronavirus has high genetic similarity to the human COVID-19, and that it uses the same infection mechanism, a fact that increases the likelihood of achieving an effective human vaccine in a very short period of time.

The Jerusalem Post reported:

A team of Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against coronavirus, according to Israel’s Minister of Science and Technology, Ofir Akunis. If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be ready within three weeks and available in 90 days.“Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough. I am confident that there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.For the past four years, a team of MIGAL scientists has been developing a vaccine against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes a bronchial disease affecting poultry, and whose effectiveness has been proven in pre-clinical trials carried out at the Veterinary Institute.MIGAL is located in the Galilee.“Our basic concept was to develop the technology, and not specifically a vaccine for this kind or that kind of virus,” said Dr. Chen Katz, MIGAL’s biotechnology group leader, who explained that “the scientific framework for the vaccine is based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by self-activated endocytosis, causing the body to form antibodies against the virus.”

Those are world-wide numbers, right? They certainly aren't U.S. numbers.

Vaccine not needed. Unhealthy people should change their ways and stop putting their trust in an injection. We’re too fat and pumped full of vaxx and pharma in this country.

At least half of those are from people who clicked on your blog.

Get a job and stop killing people.

“Report: US Scientists Have Completed A Coronavirus Vaccine”

now comes the hard part: the process for human testing for safety AND efficacy which typically takes 18 months or so and for which there is currently no shortcut ...

You can make a vaccine:

- safe
- effective
- fast

But you only get to choose 2 of the 3.

“There are currently no proven therapies for the latest outbreak...”

NOT TRUE, FAKE NEWS

Therapy:
“treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder.

“treatment intended to RELIEVE OR heal a disorder.

Drink lots of fluids, bed rest, over the counter AND some prescription medications may RELIEVE your symptoms.

Should have said “There are currently no proven CURES for the latest outbreak...”

Words mean things, Urinalists trade in “words”, they should know better.

i believe the death toll in the US stands at 41 with 31 of them coming from an old folks home in the blue state of Washington...i believe the number of cases in the US is under 2000 yet everything is closed, cancelled, crashing and the news is portraying mass hysteria..

The first cases of the Swine Flu were discovered in April 2009, a vaccine developed by October 2009, and distributed in December 2009. Not a word was heard from Obama or his media lackeys.

If Trump gets blamed for CDC testing being a little slow, he should get credit for our scientists developing the vaccine.

Yeah, whoever writes this crap is a moron, or just trying to deliberately sensationalize the issue.

I have a feeling the total who got infected is far more but many had mild if any symptoms and never knew it.

Right, those are world numbers. The USA has 6.2 cases per million people. 7 new deaths today.
