Immune response to candidate coronavirus vaccine in monkeys satisfactory 

 

 

Thailand’s coronavirus vaccine trial is making progress after macaque monkeys, which were given the first doses of the candidate vaccine, have shown a satisfactory immune response, according to Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovations Minister Suvit Mesinsee on Monday.

 

He said that doses of the mRNA candidate vaccine were administered to the monkeys on May 23rd by researchers at the National Primate Research Centre in Saraburi province. It was discovered that all the animals remained in good health and have developed satisfactory immune responses to the virus.

 

The second doses were injected today, into the same monkeys and, if the results are also satisfactory, the Minister said that the next step would be human trials, in either October or November, to prove safety and efficacy.

And handily they forgot to mention the "Penn" in there, which is the US university:

As of October 2019, 36 Nobel laureates, 169 Guggenheim Fellows, 80 members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and many Fortune 500 CEOs have been affiliated with the university.[20][21][22] Penn has the highest number of undergraduate alumni billionaires of any school in the United States.

 

But yes, Chula's got monkeys.

Elaborate on "satisfactory" which is not a scientific term. 

Satisfactory, So-so, Kinda works, works good enough that we can inject it into humans and cash in on the vaccine Cha-Ching!
 

Excellent
Good
Satisfactory -  The monkeys haven't die...yet.
No so good
Bad

Exactly.
 

But you're a pleb.  Plebs only need to know that it's "satisfactory."  Beyond that it's much to complicated for plebs to understand (although some can).  Just line up for the shot when you're ordered to and have the money ready to pay for it farang. Or it's "out of the country you go." 
There's the future.

I'll be lining up with an extra 500bht tip for the nurse so she injects the bin and not my arm with my dose.

immune reaction does not mean immunity to...

 

if you inject somebody aluminium (in all vaccines) you will GET A FEVER

 

is this the reaction they talk about ?

It means antibodies to the COVID-19 virus are detected in the blood.

[poskat]

so it didnt kill the monkeys and generated, I am guessing because they didn't say it outright, antibodies to the virus.

 

however, I missed the part where they said that they then infected the monkeys with the virus and they didnt get sick from it.
