(Reuters) - An experimental coronavirus vaccine developed by Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc (INO.O) showed promise and was found to be safe in an early-stage human trial, the company said on Tuesday.

The vaccine, one of the 17 being tested in humans and part of the Trump administration's "Operation Warp Speed" program, induced "immune responses" in healthy volunteers, Inovio said.

Immune responses in the study were measured by the vaccine's ability to generate binding antibodies, or virus-neutralizing antibodies, and T-cell responses - considered the two most important metrics for a successful vaccine.

Based on preliminary data, the drug developer said 34 of the 36 volunteers, all aged between 18 and 50 years, showed overall immunological response rates and most of the 10 patients with side-effects experienced only redness at the site of the shot.

It's seemingly good news.
But, we've had story after story about this.
I'll believe it when I see it.

This Vaccine is in 3rd or 4th place now.

The Oxford and Moderna Vaccines have been tested on a couple thousand so far and have been safe and effective. Both will be in full stage 3 which means 10s of thousands in the trial within weeks and emergency approval in 6-8 weeks.

China has a vaccine that they are probably using political prisoners to test that they and the WHO will probably approve for emergency use by the end of July.

The chinese vaccine will mostly be used in developing countries in exchange for allegiance with China. It will put pressure on the CDC and the Europeans to approve the Oxford and Moderna vaccines.

Bypassing animal testing has shown to be disaster and ended up killing people before.

Here we go again....lessons never seem to be learned anymore.

I’d absolutely love to see the infection rate in the control group.
