Coronavirus vaccine being tested at Oxford Uni left monkeys ‘virus free in one month’

A POTENTIAL coronavirus vaccine from Oxford University has kept monkeys immune from the deadly virus for a month.

The promising results comes after top Government experts warned a vaccine might be the only way out of the crisis.

Last month six rhesus macaque monkeys at a testing facility in the US were injected with a single dose of the vaccine developed at Oxford University, according to The New York Times.

All of the monkeys were then exposed to COVID-19, which had made other monkeys without the vaccine sick.

Four weeks later, all six monkeys who had been injected with the vaccine showed no signs of coronavirus.


Lead researcher Dr Vincent Munster said: "The rhesus macaque is pretty much the closest thing we have to humans."

Around 100 potential COVID-19 vaccine projects are underway around the world, as scientists race to find a vaccine.

At least five of these are in preliminary testing - what is known as phase 1 human trials.

If the scientists find a successful vaccine at least a few million doses could be pumped out by manufacturers by September.

Professor Sarah Gilbert is leading the Oxford trials for vaccine, has said she is 80 per cent confident in producing a working virus..

The reality is that if an African scientist develops a cure like Senegal and Madagascar have done so far in treating their patients the western media will not give it much attention, they will rather focus on vaccines to make money for their big pharmaceuticals.

It was in the process of experimenting with African green monkeys that HIV came about and they claimed that AIDS originated from Africa.
I am also sure they resorted to monkeys because of the exposure of their initial plan to test the vaccine on Africans which made Africans to be on guard and at alert.

Nothing matters to these people except developing a vaccine and forcing it on everyone just like we are forced to take yellow fever vaccination before you can travel out with Nigeria port.

There's a hot race to be the first to out with a vaccine than a cure!

The idea is that a 7 billion population market makes more sense to the capitalist than a 7 million one. Otherwise, the world would be having a focus on what the Malagasy cure looks like.

Why monkeys? Is that why they said they want to test it on Africans?

British scientists are really trying on this vaccine project. I think it was Cambridge scientists last week now Oxford. Well, let them bring the vaccines out so we can return to normal and anyone who refuses to receive it can the "antiChrist conspirators" and be exposed to covid-19... I noticed the noise about 5G spreading covid-19 has stopped when the lockdown became too hot that even to eat was a problem and uncertainty began to stare them in the face.
