Moderna, a drug manufacturer, is reporting early successes in a trial for a coronavirus vaccine that produces antibodies to fight the virus and give some immunity. Now it plans to increase its study from 45 participants to 600 — half over the age of 55.

Moderna is touting preliminary data from a limited coronavirus vaccine trial.A vaccine manufacturer is reporting preliminary data suggesting its COVID-19 vaccine is safe, and appears to be eliciting in test subjects the kind of immune response capable of preventing disease.

The company reports no serious side-effects; however, modest side-effects included redness at the injection site, headache, fever and flu-like symptoms, although none of these lasted more than a day. In addition to safety, the company also looked at the vaccine's ability to induce antibodies to the coronarvirus — what's known as its immunogenicity. It did, for all subjects at all dose levels. In addition, eight of the subjects were tested for the presence of neutralizing antibodies that prevent the virus from infecting cells in the laboratory. All eight did.

45 people in the study, divided into 3 groups which received different doses. All had 1 booster after 1 month. All 45 had antibodies for the corona virus. 8 were tested and found to have neutralizing antibodies, which prevent the corona virus from infecting cells in lab tests.

It’s as if people are seeing the value of vaccines again.

It’s time to play who wants to be a trillionare! Let me guess...each dose will cost $10000 in the future but will be free for the first 15000000 people lol

Beware of things being rushed to make, take the ET Atari gm for example, typically it took a yr to make an Atari gm, they did it in half the time, n they wound up regretting it big time, game was one of the worst in history, had to bury them cause no1 was buying them

TOILETPAPERTRUMPGATE

Throwing all my money on stocks, MF!!!

Haha conspiracy theorist from the left now hopping on this one lol I love it. Anyone who hates Trump is going to be livid if a vaccine is somehow produced before years end like the Orange Man is saying haha I don't see it happening but if it does it will be hilarious.

Pardon me if I hang back and wait on this one.

Don't believe this bs. HydroxychloroquineSavedMyLife it's cheap and extremely effective FOR OVER 60 YEARS and F fauci knows it.

Hard to believe anything that comes out of America these days

How long before Donald starts mixing it in with his Adderall to snort?

It is still not known if it can cause a nasty, too strong immune response in people yet, so be patient. People die from COVID19 because they get too strong an immune inflammatory response in their lungs. There will be many other vaccines too.

Could you guys perhaps report on the important of immune strengthening systems? foundmyfitness would be an awesome person to connect with. 🌎🙏🏻

It’s a very sad thing that I would trust it more if it was from Europe. Everything in the US. is just so profit driven.

Signing up to take a it this early feels like it’s the 90s and you want to be the first person to upgrade your computer to the new version of Windows. I’ll wait for the patch that fixes the bugs, thanks.

Who wants to be the one to take a vaccine that was rushed and pushed by the same people who pushed Trump steaks, Trump University and Trump Air?

Well, well, well. And who owns stock in this company

This won’t age well.

Omg...read the study itself...preliminary data means what it says...slow your roll...l

Ok so who owns this company

And, it just so happens, the new vaccine czar was on the board of Moderna, and owns stock in the company.

Trump TCB winning

Sample size is too small & you can’t really rely on rat results.

Mark of the beast

Yes and the former employee now our vaccine czar just made several million for himself with this announcement. Hmmm.

Hmmm, anyone surprised that a recent tRump appointee hold $10 million dollars in Moderna stock?

Trump has been excoriated by the demokraps and the media for predicting this in March...

Premature until clinical data is available & drug is approved for usage.

Thank god, we may see a cure in months, not years.

Yeah, no thanks. I dont trust anything the Trump administration has it's hands on

Great news. But, they still have a long way to go.

What if antibodies from prior infection don’t protect people from reinfection?
