Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that is effective against COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide.
The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well.
Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One. The new vaccine will still need to undergo phase 2 and phase 3 trials.
Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reed’s SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein.
“It's very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,” Modjarrad said.
I'll stick to my horse paste.
Because Fauci and the Chinese have been obsessed with SARS viruses since they first turned up. They could have worse ones cooking, with this one being the dry run to assess spread and response, and also weaken the world economically and mentally. In fact I would be amazed if they didn't, look at Bill Gates and his "Next time they'll pay attention" and Fauci with his "I'm not stepping down, I'm still in the middle of the war!" It isn't that easy to kill several billion people.
Or... since it's supposed to protect against everything forever it's the death blow to the idea that everyone needs to take it because those who wanted are "protected" from us and we can just go on living our lives normal
There is no covid-19 therefore there can be no variants. Wake the f up!
That's one way to look at it.
Then I'm looking for a cure for the common flu/cold.
Scope is cast over a broader field than covid
You can’t ‘cure’ the common cold or the flu, because you get it after you’ve done the cause. The only way to not get it, is to live in a way that doesn’t cause it. After you get it, your immune system fixes it. What more do you want? A magic pill that you take after you already do the damage that deletes all repercussions for existence? It’s a fantasy.
There already are cures for the common cold and flu. Ivermectin and HCQ. Covid is a fictional virus.
Sorry, I'm not convinced there's no covid'esc something circulating around out there.
TURN OFF YOUR TV! IT’S COLD AND FLU SEASON.
If there is, then why has not one single lab anywhere on Earth been able to isolate a sample of it in over two years?
The reporting above mentions how the military lab received their first DNA sequencing of covid in early 2020.
I don't believe it's a corona virus.
I think it's a biological agent.
If they're looking for one then they're going to miss the other.
How do they know it works against imaginary, theoretical viruses that have never been isolated, identified, or proven to actually be real? Wake up.
Hmmmmmmm 🤔
How the fuck are they testing against variants that were just discovered?
I trust none of them.
This needs to be stickied. There are so many lights that are going off with Trump, Warp speed, and all of his endorsements with the vaccine. He does not have control over Pfizer, Moderna, J&J, etc....but he would have had control over a military vaccine while he was C&C. This could be the end of the clot shots!!! I still won't get a vaccine, but this might save the sheep.
I didn't say he is currently in control, he was in control before Jan 20th when Operation Warp Speed took place. Its an observation based on known events.
Yeah….NO!
Fuuuuuck no
It's unclear to me whether it's also gene therapy.
Animal trials? What a novel idea.
Is this the vaccine our servicemembers are getting?
Hard Pass.
