China approves two experimental coronavirus vaccines to enter clinical trials

 

China has approved early-stage human tests for two experimental vaccines to combat the coronavirus as it battles to contain imported cases. Chinese citizens planning to return from neighbouring Russia are being told to remain where they are.

 

BEIJING (Reuters) - China has approved early-stage human tests for two experimental vaccines to combat the new coronavirus that killed over 100,000 people worldwide, state media Xinhua reported on Tuesday.

 

The vaccines are being developed by a Beijing-based unit of Nasdaq-listed Sinovac Biotech , and by the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, an affiliate of state-owned China National Pharmaceutical Group.

 

In March, China have the green-light for another clinical trial for a coronavirus vaccine candidate developed by military-backed China's Academy of Military Medical Sciences and HK-listed biotech firm CanSino Bio, shortly after U.S. drug developer Moderna said it had begun human tests for their vaccine with the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

Anyone wanna bet they already have it?

 

[Mavideol]

confused, they claimed to have controlled the virus, they have been conducting (February 2020) tests, no results or any kind of information pertaining to the tests and now (April 2020) they come up with another BS, when will they be honest enough to tell the truth, how can anybody take these people seriously

Good one

Facts: there're multiple vaccines entered initial clinical trial stage in the world, include 1 from US( conspiracists are ridiculous ). It's not like because they entered clinical trial would auto guarantee success in research nor mass production - more like opposite, as successful vaccine production may take years or decade in many cases. 

 

One vaccine China researching is the fastest in the world entering phase II clinical trial, but mostly because that one taken easy route( adenovirus carrier ) - eg. easier to develop but also supposedly LESS effective. The project leader volunteered to take vaccine herself in February.

At least 70 experimental vaccines are going through trials around the world at present. The race is on, but it'll take time.

A lot less than the USA will charge for them.

Fair point. And the roll-out will have to be tailored in some manner so the rich and powerful get it first, well before the 'deltas' are allowed access.

My guess is they already had it before it was released as a biological economic weapon... er um escaped… er um mutated from bats I mean.

'They' might include many, other than the Chinese, but too embarrassing to make public!

Worldwide concern about medication running out due to lack of raw substances from China and India.

Trump will praise Xi when they have the vaccine he desperately need to save himself. 

[ICELANDMAN]

It is known in healthcare environments that when a poison is manufactured, the antidote is manufactured simultaneously, ditto for viruses.

I guess it will not be difficult for them to find 'volunteers' to test the vaccine. ????

Not expensive, just controlled by the CCP......
