Thai Startup Is Ready to Produce Subunit Vaccine in Few Weeks

BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand’s government has revealed that a potential COVID-19 vaccine, derived from plant protein, or subunit vaccine, which uses the same technology as Novavax, could be ready for production in a few weeks.

 

Deputy government spokesperson Ratchada Thanadirek said the vaccine has been developed by Baiya Phytopharm Co Ltd, a Thai startup company. A subunit vaccine presents one or more antigens to the immune system without introducing pathogen particles, whole or otherwise.

 

The company will send the documentation to the Food and Drug Administration seeking an inspection of the factory, and expects to begin vaccine production in the next few weeks. It will undergo early human testing around September 2021 as planned.

 

The research team will officially seek about 100 volunteers in August, who are in good health, aged between 18-55 years and 65-75 years. Once the vaccine passes the process successfully, it is expected that it can be produced for use in the middle of 2022. People will receive two vaccinations, three weeks apart, and it will sell at around THB300-500 per dose.

    A year from now may be too late for me.  I need it a lot faster than that. .  

  • First try it on all military and police personnel. Then work your way through the Senate.   Then get back to us.   This seems like a long shot, certainly for mid-2022.

And does the GPO have to sign an agreement with the plant protein?

Finally Thailand is going to have a vaccine available for expats and migrant workers.  What a relief.

Same vaccine producing credentials as SB then.

Oh cool.  A long term study is now defined in weeks.

Well, wait wait wait.  If's it's based on cannabis than sign me up!

Well have to grow our own.

Yeah, that will be a hard no from me. Thank you.

And, probably some semi-random rich Thai-Chinese Puyai's nephew just out of Thai uni. Thailand is nothing but a playground for these people. They'll produce some questionable vaccine whilst making sure to get their individual vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna..

I really dont think there will be much use for this Vaccine from a Company that is a " start up "

I wonder who the backers of this Company are, and if they thought the investment would lead to massive profits.

2 parts sand, one part cement and some chicken extract.

When can I have a contract? ...

Subunit AKA Sub-standard.

Answers on a postcard please.

Who do we think could be behind this company when Thailand has been kept short of any vaccines?

Good luck presenting this particular vaccine as proof on your vaccine passport to allow you to avoid quarantine in your destination country.   I doubt even Thailand would accept it to get into Phuket.   

There are such startups by dozens if not hundreds. Every effort helps. The big boys failed, too: Merck, CureVac. What we need is a miraculous new discovery, vaccine, treatment protocol, or cure. Everyone in the world is impatient. But suppose the vaccines we're getting today have terrible health consequences in years or decades. Don't discount miracles.
