Italian researchers claim to have 'the first vaccine in the world' that kills the Coronavirus and are now planning human trials

Italian researchers have revealed plans to test a vaccine on humans after claiming their jab is the 'first in the world' to neutralise the virus.

Scientists gave mice the jab - which is being developed by Rome-based Takis Biotech - and took the antibodies they made in response.

Antibodies are substances produced by the immune system to remember how to fight off a specific infection, and are vital for immunity.

Preliminary results from lab tests showed the antibodies created in test mice were able to stop human cells being infected with the coronavirus.

Takis chief executive Luigi Aurisicchio revealed the Italian team plans to start trials in the autumn, as scientists race to halt the pandemic.

He said: 'As far as we know we are the first in the world so far to have demonstrated a neutralisation of the coronavirus by a vaccine.'

But leading scientists today said they would be amazed if none of the other vaccines in development hadn't shown a similar response in mice.

Oxford University is one of several teams around the world already trailling a jab on humans - and plans to have millions of doses ready by September.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said today, however, that there is no guarantee an antidote for the coronavirus will ever be found.

The Italian team compared a single dose of five different vaccine candidates on mice at Spallanzani Hospital in Rome.

All are DNA based vaccines; the method involved injecting a tiny amount of cloned genetic code from the virus into the body.

DNA or RNA based vaccines are not made with a weakened or deactivated virus, nor elements of the virus, which means they can be produced on a huge scale in the lab without needing any fresh samples.

Some Italians suspect their WuFlu death numbers too, have been inflated - LINK to an Italian legislator speaking on the floor.

You know, I don’t believe the ptb are smart enough to pull off a conspiracy this big. But I do believe that political animals are quick to identify and seize on an opportunity.

??

Vaccines don’t kill the virus?

SARS-2 is RNA, not DNA?

There’s actually already cures for many deadly diseases — cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, etc. — FOR MICE.

Gonna be interesting to see who gets the first FDA approved vaccine with the daily reports of so many labs working on this. Who gets the patent? If public company, may be a stock opportunity, as if I'll ever get back in that cluster.

I wonder if the winning vaccine will work on influenza which mutates, and what if COVID mutates? Also, wonder if it will work on the common cold, which has been reported to be a strain of the corona virus.

The whole world is working on a vaccine. Hopefully one will come through soon. This is what needs to happen to give the politicians cover and get things back to normal.

This can be ruled as “fake news” from the very headline. Not such thing as a “vaccine” that kills anything. Vaccines are preventatives - giving a modified or killed “dose” of whatever virus you are trying to immunize against to a healthy person so that their immune system can “learn” it and then fight it if/when exposed.

“There’s actually already cures for many deadly diseases — cancer, diabetes, alzheimers, etc. — FOR MICE.”

As well as effective medicines and other types of treatment for human diseases and conditions that were tested ON MICE.

“There’s the solution - we all become mice”

As in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?

“Frankie mouse and Benjy mouse are two white mice who belong to Trillian.

They escaped from Earth before the premature termination of its program. Mice are not, as is commonly assumed on Earth, small white squeaking animals who spend a lot of time being experimented on. In fact they are hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are searching for the ultimate question. It is this search that led to the creation of the Earth.”

Vaccines don’t kill viruses.

Sounds more like a......DISINFECTANT?

Yeah, use a Pez dispenser to “inject” a Hydroclorquine pill into your mouth.

Costs a buck and has a higher cure rate with no toxic side effect.

OR... for only a Billion bucks inject this toxin laced soup into your blood. YMMV

Yup exactly- bungling their way to world dominance on the backs of pandemics and world crisis’s- they pounce- with no clear direction- just brute force- but thankfully we still have the Restrainer operating in the world to help reign them in a bit-
