They are animal testing...

In addition to positive interim Phase 1 data, INO-4800 has been shown to protect mice in SARS-CoV-2 viral challenge studies, where vaccination with INO-4800 prevented viral replication in the lungs of animals challenged with SARS-CoV-2. Moreover, INO-4800 is currently being tested in a ferret challenge model as well as in NHP challenge studies as part of Operation Warp Speed.

Ferretts are the appropriate animal testing for respiratory diseases, not mice.

Are they reclassifying this now?

EDIT: I see they are doing ferretts too. That is good. Now they just need to do safety studies (they wont) and everyone will be happy and verify the hyper immune reaction is not happening.
