Dr. Anthony Fauci confirmed that NIAID scientists are working to have a strain of coronavirus created that could be used in potential human challenge trials of a Covid-19 vaccine, but emphasized that it would only be for an 'absolutely far out contingency'

In challenge trials, researchers give study subjects an experimental vaccine and then intentionally expose them to coronavirus to see if the vaccine works. Since such trials pose risks, many scientists are against using them.Fauci, director of the NIAID, described this approach as a"Plan D" -- and the work is still preliminary. If needed, such human challenge trials would be in a matter of months at the earliest.

While some experts have speculated that human challenge trials might be necessary, the team of vaccine experts who make up the working group said the process would be too slow. They said randomized, controlled vaccine trials are the most likely route to a coronavirus vaccine.

North Korea nuclear reactor site threatened by recent flooding, U.S. think-tank saysSatellite imagery suggests recent flooding in North Korea may have damaged pump houses connected to the country's main nuclear facility, a U.S.-based think-tank said on Thursday. That sounds like a 'them' problem. I thought we were told they had given up on nukes? No one believes anything the US says anymore. I wonder what their real reason is for claiming this?
