Moderna’s COVID vaccine on pace to go to phase 3 of testing on July 27th

The first COVID-19 vaccine tested in the U.S. revved up people’s immune systems just the way scientists had hoped, researchers reported Tuesday -- as the shots are poised to begin key final testing.
“No matter how you slice this, this is good news,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, told The Associated Press.
The experimental vaccine, developed by Fauci’s colleagues at the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will start its most important step around July 27: A 30,000-person study to prove if the shots really are strong enough to protect against the coronavirus.
But Tuesday, researchers reported anxiously awaited findings from the first 45 volunteers who rolled up their sleeves back in March. Sure enough, the vaccine provided a hoped-for immune boost.
Those early volunteers developed what are called neutralizing antibodies in their bloodstream -- molecules key to blocking infection -- at levels comparable to those found in people who survived COVID-19, the research team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The vaccine requires two doses, a month apart.
There were no serious side effects. But more than half the study participants reported flu-like reactions to the shots that aren’t uncommon with other vaccines -- fatigue, headache, chills, fever and pain at the injection site. For three participants given the highest dose, those reactions were more severe; that dose isn’t being pursued.
Some of those reactions are similar to coronavirus symptoms but they’re temporary, lasting about a day and occur right after vaccination, researchers noted.

Then you can bet your arse he'll contradict this in a week or two. This fricking guy is ruining life for us. I knew this bureaucrat was a POS before Trump trotted him out on the stage. He should have told him thanks but no thanks and don't speak for the administration unless we tell you to This clown is Trump's biggest threat to re-election.

The vaccine that works is the made by the company that Fauci, and the rest of the politicians have bought stock in......

I would not take it. It’s a Bill Gates/NWO plan to control you. No telling what chemicals will be in the vaccine.

So how much $ will Fauci get?

I bought a shite ton of their stock back in March (5000 shares). Love this news

Moderna's stock shot up a couple hours before this news came out. The right people were informed of this well in advance and have already made out like bandits. Insider trading is fricking every investor in this country.

Govn't will already have our country in ruins by the time a vaccine is approved.
