70 coronavirus vaccines in the works, three being tested on human: WHO

There are 70 coronavirus vaccines in development globally, with three candidates already being tested in human trials, according to the World Health Organization, as drugmakers race to find a cure for the deadly pathogen.

The furthest along in the clinical process is an experimental vaccine developed by Hong Kong-listed CanSino Biologics Inc. and the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology, which is in phase 2. The other two being tested in humans are treatments developed separately by U.S. drugmakers Moderna Inc. and Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc., according to a WHO document.

Progress is occurring at unprecedented speed in developing vaccines as the infectious pathogen looks unlikely to be stamped out through containment measures alone. The drug industry is hoping to compress the time it takes to get a vaccine to market -- usually about 10 to 15 years -- to within the next year.

Drugmakers big and small have jumped in to try to develop a vaccine, which would be the most effective way to contain the virus. Pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer Inc. and Sanofi have vaccine candidates in the preclinical stages, according to the WHO document.


CanSino said last month it received Chinese regulatory approval to start human trials of its vaccine. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna -- which has never put out a product -- received regulatory approval to move quickly to human trials in March, skipping the years of animal trials that are the norm in developing vaccines. Inovio began its human trials last week.

  1. A race to save people or to capitalize on their misery? By the time a vaccine is ready, we'll have natural herd immunity. Id this why Fauci is really delaying the recovery?

  2. Why no such monumental effort for the Flu virus that is known to kill 10s of thousands of people each year?

  3. The Chinese Medical definition of "Wuhan" is (A TREMBLING CHILL). This is a World Masonic operation. In Numerology "Corona Virus is a 11" "Wuhan Virus is also a 11". Then you have Convid-19 which is a 5. But 1 and 9 are part of the title. The Astrology (planet movements) over Wuhan the day this was announced is spot on for an event like this. Read these, it will explain what the future for the next 6 to 7 years is going to be like. Forward these to you friends. This is from 2 years ago and makes a vivid statement for whats happening and coming. https://graycrawford.net/2018/05/14/uranus-in-taurus/ then https://graycrawford.net/2020/04/02/ceres-at-the-crossroads-of-civilization/ and https://graycrawford.net/2020/03/22/saturn-in-aquarius/

  4. Fake "race for a cure". The vaccines all belong to depopulation fanatic Bill Gates. You can't "cure" the flu (influenza) or colds (coronavirus) with magical shots. It's a seasonal occurrence. The fake competition is just a cover story.
