According to experts, Oxford University vaccine (tested by Wits in SA) may not prevent people from becoming infected with the disease. In animal experiments, all 6 test monkeys fell ill with Covid19 despite vaccination & were as infectious as the unvaccinated monkeys...
There were also warnings that the animals may have been able to spread the virus. However, the vaccine, known as ChAdOx1 nCov-19, is currently undergoing human clinical trials, even though...
...the project manager explained that the coronavirus had already become so rare in the population that the clinical trials may deliver no result.
In the race to be the first to test an experimental coronavirus vaccine, researchers aren’t waiting to see how well it prevents infection in animals before trying it in humans, breaking away from usual protocols.
This is not how vaccine twsting is meant to be. Manufacturers are required to show that their product is safe before it goes into humans and researchers must check that a new drug is effective in lab animals before putting human volunteers at potential risk. Not this time
Acording to Mark Feinberg, president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative a vaccine takes 10 to 20 years to develop. This is consistent with the fact that it took 43 years to find an Ebola vaccine, and it's still not fully developed
Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci gave a thumbs up to a vaccine tested in Moderna, Italy even though 3 of the 15 human test subjects suffered a “serious adverse event”, meaning if this were to be given to people in the world, 1.5 billion could suffer serious injury
This is not the first time scientists have tried making a coronavirus vaccine, and each time it has ended in tears. In 2002, vaccinated animals suffered hyper-immune responses and died...
...researchers had seen this same "enhanced immune response" during human testing of the failed RSV vaccine tests in the 1960s where children died
“Outbreaks and national emergencies often create pressure to suspend rights, standards and/or normal rules of ethical conduct. Often our decision to do so seems unwise in retrospect”

- Jonathan Kimmelman, McGill University’s

IOW, all this vaccine excitement will end in tears
