Vaccine for new Chinese coronavirus in the works

Ed.'s note: Well, how abut that? A vaccine is already in the works. Never let a good crisis go to waste right? Now all we have to do is figure out why they are pushing this latest idiotic virus scam. Just need to ramp up the fear here a little bit, get the media in on it, spread it like wildfire and you just created an instant market. Here's an interesting comment: "Just like all viruses, that's why they claim a new flu vaccine is needed every year. How about that debunk? Let's see where they take this stage show. Now a red headline on what was once 'drudge' again. Don't forget: The coronavirus is ONLY THE COMMON COLD. They can't say "cold virus" because that's not spooky enough. Hey folks, the cold is going around in China." Maybe Amazon wants a cut of the action in the vaccine business? QUI BONO?: The Pharma and the Chinese Central Committee. It's the Securico-Medical Industrial complex where everything is merging. Luckily for all of us, Bill Gates was onto the Coronavirus before reports started appearing of its breakout. October 18, 2019, collaborating with the World Economic Forum, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation hosted "Event 201" where they ran a simulation of a coronavirus pandemic.

The National Institutes of Health is working on a vaccine against the new virus that has infected hundreds and killed four in Asia.

"The NIH is in the process of taking the first steps towards the development of a vaccine," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Fauci said it would take a few months until the first phase of the clinical trials get underway and more than a year until a vaccine might be available.

The latest

The virus, which was first reported at the end of December, has infected more than 200 people, according to a Chinese government-appointed expert. The bulk of the cases have been in China, but there have been four cases in Thailand, South Korea and Japan.

The virus originated in animals and can be spread from person to person. While most of the patients visited an animal and seafood market in Wuhan, a city about 700 miles south of Beijing, some did not.

This new virus is a coronavirus, which is the same family as the virus that causes SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, which was first reported in Asia in 2003 and killed more than 700 people. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, which has killed more than 800 people since 2012, is also caused by a coronavirus.

Working on a vaccine

A team of scientists in Texas, New York and China are also at work on a vaccine, according to Dr. Peter Hotez, a vaccine scientist at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.

"The lesson we've learned is coronavirus infections are serious and one of the newest and biggest global health threats," Hotez said.

He added that it's less challenging to develop a vaccine for coronaviruses than for other viruses such as HIV or influenza.

"Every virus has its challenges, but coronaviruses can be a relatively straightforward vaccine target," Hotez said.

If a vaccine is developed, he said, health care workers might be among the first to receive it because they're exposed to infected patients.
