Made-in-Canada vaccine passes animal testing hurdle, seeks government funding

TORONTO -- A Canadian drugmaker says it has produced “compelling” early results from animal testing of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, but the government hasn’t responded to its application for funding that would allow it to advance to human clinical trials.

“The results coming from our first animal experiment showed that the vaccines are resulting in a strong immune response,” said Dr. Mario Ostrowski, an immunology professor at the University of Toronto, in a press release. “In particular, the vaccine against the S protein produced neutralizing antibodies at higher titers than the results announced by other mRNA vaccine manufacturers.”

Another notable mRNA vaccine is by U.S. biotechnology company Moderna, which has received hundreds of millions in funding from the U.S. government and entered final-stage testing last month when the first of someBut Providence, which says it’s one of Canada’s leading mRNA vaccine producers, hasn’t heard from the government since late May and has yet to receive funding for the next stages of its testing after it submitted a $35-million proposal in April.

Sorenson added that if the Canadian government does not help fund their human trials, they might have to find another government that will.

Animal testing? 😡😡😡

What are the side effect

Take it

Canadians are resourceful, intelligent and caring and this shows that they can use their gifts to help others and grow businesses !

Only if it is free for all Canadians!

We already gave! Nothing has been productive, ONLY MISERY FOR THE PEOPLE OF CANADA! Purse strings off limits!🤬🤬

I would rather people die from Covid then the test this vaccine on animals

I would not give this vaccine to my dog let alone a person I loved. RUN

Gave all the money to China for research...sorry, you are Canada..not in Trudeau’s parameters...

Does anyone wonder why we fund the R&D of private Pharma companies who end up charging the public for over priced drugs we help fund? Corporatewelfare at its finest here

I would not give that vaccine to my dog let alone to a loved one who is human. Two weeks ago they told us this virus was spread by farting, earwax and being over 6ft. Enough - this virus has a 99.965 survival rate - you are twice as likely to be killed in a car crash- Ban Cars?

👍👏👏
