A Texas-based genetic engineering company has finished developing a coronavirus vaccine, according to new reports.
Scientists at Greffex Inc. which has a corporate headquarters in Houston and a laboratory in Aurora, Colorado completed the vaccine this week, company president and CEO John Price told the Houston Business Journal.
Now the vaccine will move to animal testing by the necessary government agencies the FDA in the US and similar regulatory bodies in China and other heavily affected countries, according to the report.
For safety reasons, Greffex did not use a living or killed virus to form the vaccine, according to Price. Instead, adenovirus-based vector vaccines, which are widely employed against various infectious diseases or cancers, were used, the report noted.
The trick in making a vaccine is can you scale the vaccine that youve made to be able to make a certain number of doses, can you test that vaccine quickly and efficiently and then can you get it into patients, Price told local outlet KHOU 11. And thats where we have an edge as well on the other companies that are out there.
The vaccine is the product of an $18.9 million contract Greffex received in September 2019 from the National Institute of Healths National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, aimed at fighting infectious threats, the Business Journal reported.
If the vaccine wins government approval, Greffex will give it away for free to the hardest-hit countries, Price said.
More than 2,100 people have died as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, with all but 11 of those deaths in mainland China. Worldwide, more than 75,700 people have been infected.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.
I thought that Bill Gates bought the vaccine for this virus.
Perhaps that's what happened to Wuhan...
Capitalism wins again.
“Send it to China and go straight to human trials. Im sure they wont mind violating our FDA testing protocols.”
Can be done here too under the new “right to try” law.

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.
Lots of companies are going to claim to have a vaccine or be close to having a vaccine. It’s the perfect pump and dump.
But maybe there are a lot of companies with a vaccine. Would be great if our science has advanced that far.
Surprised a vaccine or “cure” hasn’t been developed in Cuba, Venezuela, Denmark or Russia. Or some other Bernieland.
I think those estimates are to get it tested, approved, and into large scale production. Thats probably still consistent with this report.
I think the San Diego company was saying they had a DESIGN for a vaccine.
Look at all the companies that have created an HIV vaccine, only to have them fail in testing. Anyone can create a vaccine. Few can create a vaccine that works.

I always wonder why the miracles of modern tech are never invented in those places and then manufactured in those places. /s
Communist China is an amazing anomaly in that regard.
I think you’re right-
“People” = U.S. taxpayers. {;^}
Give the vaccine to all the CEO’s of the company and send them to China to help in the hospitals(No masks). If they come back alive and healthy then- Success.
Veterinarians have been trying to make an effective vaccine against FIP for over 20 years. The researchers that have been working on this are the best in the field and the virus mutates so often that when the vaccine is ready the virus is no longer susceptible to the vaccine. Such is the nature of RNA viruses.
Please take not of the drop in reports of new cases. It is Mainland China
related, and is making these questionable numbers from the start, look
even worse.
In the last day or so the leadership of China stated they have done a
a lot of work to end COVID-19, and local Wuhan leaders would be held
responsible for reports of new cases.
China will be happy to obtain and reverse engineer that for more than one reason.
