TORONTO -- A potential vaccine for the novel coronavirus that has seen promising results in early tests in China is about to start a new round of human trials — this time in Canada.It is referred to as Ad5-nCoV and was developed by CanSino Biologics Inc. with the Beijing Institute of Biotechnology. It was one of the first vaccine trials to be approved, gaining permission to carry out trials in China on March 16.
More trials are already underway in China to follow up on these results. Phase two of their trials is placebo-controlled and randomized, and involves 500 adults, including some over the age of 60.Dr. Scott Halperin, director of the Canadian Center for Vaccinology, toldThe first phase, which will require around 100 volunteer participants, will be focused on measuring the vaccine’s effect on the human body itself — essentially, whether there are any side effects that would make it unsafe.
Halperin said that testing a vaccine can usually take years. But in the middle of a pandemic, that’s not something anyone wants to hear. So Halperin's team will be carrying out tests "in a more accelerated fashion, without sacrificing any safety,” he said.
Cells used from aborted babies!! That's what cdns need to know. Tredeau is so anti baby that you can't apply for any givt aid unless you back abortions and now he's behind using aborted babies cells. When is this insanity going to end
It’s from China, that’s all I need to know
Even though the covid-19 virus is believed manmade,and not out of the primordial ooze of oozes,I think its about time we Canadians see something positive come out of our medical associations in line with top of the world medical breakthroughs and stand united together.
Pushing this article and agenda. The 2017-18 season in the USA ranks as the deadliest in more than four decades, 80,000 died. Canada
We are known throughout history to lead in medical scientific research. If we can give the world insulin we can give them a vaccine as well 💪🏻🇨🇦
hah not me
I would like to know about the artificial antibodies being worked on at u of t and seven other places in the world. It prevents the virus from taking hold. It is a cure. I’m sick of the push of a vacine. It seems like an agenda. Canada
Chinese vaccine for a Chinese virus, that’s not suspicious
'IS THE VACCINE SAFE FOR HUMANS? Preliminary results from the trials in China indicate that it is.' Lol.. YOU FIRST!!
Mi Jun lee and the rest of CTV try it first on national television.
The people at CTV should try it first and give it Mi Jung Lee first since you love promoting the made in china vaccine for the wuhaaannnnnnmand made virus.
We have great labs and smart scientists, why aren’t we developing our own or working with The Oxford Crew?
What do we know? Nothing but what China has told us. I'll wait thanks. Lets see how many people die cause of this one. It'll either be that or it'll be proven that just like other viruses of this type, no cure will be found. It'll lingering small outbreaks mostly in Asia for yrs
What we know is it was developed in China, & Trudeau partnered with them. No thank you let him and his family take it first. I noticed JustinTrudeau has said he would take the antibody test but no word if he’d take the vaccine hmmm vaccine
Line up 100 Trudeau cabinet ministers as guinea pigs.
So we are supposed to trust the communist country that released the virus on the world? No thanks, I dont think so! What fool of a government would trust them?
We know it can’t possibly be safe after just a few short months.
