Everything we know about the race to develop vaccinations against COVID-19

People on six continents already are getting jabs in the arm as the race for a COVID-19 vaccine enters a defining summer, with even bigger studies poised to prove if any shot really works -- and maybe offer a reality check.

Vaccine experts say it's time to set public expectations. Many scientists don't expect a coronavirus vaccine to be nearly as protective as the measles shot. Measuring that with the first proven vaccine will "really help us understand for all the other vaccines in development, do they also have a chance?" said Oxford University lead researcher Sarah Gilbert.

Another vaccine made by the NIH and Moderna Inc. simply injects a piece of the coronavirus genetic code that instructs the body to produce harmless spike copies that the immune system learns to recognize.Researchers must test thousands of people not where COVID-19 is surging -- because then it's too late -- but where it's smouldering, Fauci said.

The Oxford shot, with a 10,000-person study underway in England, already encountered that hurdle. Gilbert told a Parliament committee last week that there's "little chance, frankly" of proving the vaccine's effectiveness in Britain after infections plummeted with the lockdown.

The MSM is the last source I go to for news.

The left is making its final grab at power as they no longer even hide their contempt and hatred for our freedoms and rights.

Yeah, DON'T TAKE IT

The race is a waste of time.

MJosling53 ‘A ‘race’ and ‘scramble’ are not anything one wants to hear in the development of a vaccine, nor is it anything that will be pumping through my veins. Good luck.
