It's unlikely the coronavirus will be eradicated without a vaccine, Johnson & Johnson's chief scientific officer told ABC News in response to comments made by the president last week.

"What a vaccine does, as we all know, is it generates immunity in the person who gets the vaccine. What is that immunity? Those are antibodies against the virus that find and kill the virus," Yancopoulos said.

Regeneron is working to adapt one of their drugs, Kevzara, to treat COVID-19, and indicated it could begin clinical studies in June. last week,"We think we're going to have a vaccine by the end of this year. And we're pushing very hard."

realDonaldTrump ScottMorrisonMP How you going to make a vaccine to stop him? You haven't even worked out Who and What he is, how you going to get him with a vaccine? Why you trying to kill him so bad, he trying to show you that Eternity is an option! 🐉😋🐦

there has never been a vaccine for a virus, How much did you pay to get this guy to lie. It will be gone without a vaccine since all viruses leave when it warms up. The man is a liar and does not know what he is talking about

As long as it is tested properly because I’m not touching a vaccine that’s not been tested the same as other treatments and anyone that’s seen the work done by your own Mr Kennedy will know where I’m coming from

ABC lying again! Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin with zinc is a game changer!

Маловероятно, что коронавирус будет уничтожен без вакцины, сказал главный научный сотрудник Johnson & Johnson. Новости в ответ на комментарии, сделанные президентом на прошлой неделе.

Convenient

Dr. Paul Stoffels, appearing on ABC's 'This Week' Sunday, responded to comments from President Donald Trump last week that, 'With or without a vaccine, it's going to pass, and we're going to be back to normal.' DontheCon never lets the truth get in the way of his agenda.

we need a vaccine soon. Please lord help us find one asap

We have a flu vaccine, that didn't eradicate the flu.

Have they eradicated the flu? If you can’t stop the flu why do they think they can cure the Chinese virus?

Ummm, ok. Not gonna do it. 🙄

Pandemic is over. Too late

Fakenews...ABC is rooting for no vaccine until November when they hope that Biden2020 wins...the vaccine will be available next day but half the people won't take it. Just like the seasonal flu shot. FakePandemic FakeNewsMedia DemocratsTheEnemyWithin

Every virus in history before vaccines has been eradicated.

Oh, wait...can you ask Johnson and Johnson what the next lotto numbers are for me...nobody told me they were all knowing. Hey wait a minute...aren't they that large Pharmaceutical company that might make BILLIONS selling us this story?

It's Never going to be. Eventually were just going to have to LiveAndLetDie

realDonaldTrump

With any luck it will be as of effective as the flu shot

Curious how a virus can be completely eradicated rather than controlled by preventive measures🤔

JUST like the flu shot got rid of the FLU... the vaccine is BS, and won't work anyway. The virus has changed and keeps changing...like a FLU! So the vaccine is BS!

A US Pres is given incredible powers over intel, military! His 1 job is to identify threats to the homeland & stop them! No Excuses! realDonaldTrump,having all these powers, failed & instead blames others! Reminder: We didn’t elect “others” as Pres, you’re the Pres & U failed!

Influence still exists and we have a vaccine so wtf are you talking about?

Another brilliant scientist...

Study shows Covid-19 patients who took heartburn drug were less likely to die, but researchers caution more research is neededPatients who took a common heartburn medicine while hospitalized for Covid-19 were more than twice as likely to survive the infection, according to a paper posted Friday on a pre-publication website. But it's unclear whether the patients fared better because of the famotidine or if it was a coincidence. The fact is that the situation is getting worse for many. As of mid-March, one in five American workers has applied for unemployment benefits. Another 3.2 million people applied for unemployment benefits this week.

Also both prolong the QT interval on EKG.....

Birx to lead remdesivir distribution effort as hospitals struggle to access drugSince the drug was granted emergency use authorization, doctors have been left with no clear path to get it. Well first we will hear that under trumps leadership, they looked at the granulation and triangulation. I’m just shocked he didn’t put one of his major donors with no medical/pharmaceutical background in charge of this Because why use a drug at $5 per pill when you can charge $4000 grand?

Another example of Democrats poisonous politics and ignorant big government.
