Don’t assume hydroxychloroquine is a “knockout drug” but do assume a theoretical vaccine rushed out in just a year or so with little testing is an “ultimate game changer.” From CNBC, “Coronavirus: Dr. Anthony Fauci warns Americans shouldn’t assume hydroxychloroquine is a ‘knockout drug’”: Americans shouldn’t assume hydroxychloroquine is a “knockout drug” in preventing or treating COVID-19, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci warned Friday.

As the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases continues to skyrocket, healthcare researchers around the world are working tirelessly to discover new life-saving medical innovations. As Visual Capitalist’s Nick Routley notes, the projects these companies are working on can be organized into three distinct groups: Diagnostics: Quickly and effectively detecting the disease in the first place Treatments: Alleviating symptoms so people who have disease experience milder symptoms, and lowering […]
(Natural News) As the herds of gullible sheep anxiously wait for their government to roll out a new vaccine for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), it can’t be stated emphatically enough that whatever jab is eventually unveiled will surely be far worse than the virus itself. Instead of telling Americans to go outside and get more disease-fighting vitamin D from natural sunlight, or to take vitamin C […]
Only around one third of US citizens would get vaccinated against Covid-19 as soon as a vaccine becomes available, despite the rapid spread of the disease across the country, a newly released poll reveals. In general, Americans appear quite skeptical about getting a coronavirus shot, a new poll by LX/Morning Consult found. The survey, released on Thursday, was conducted online on March 24 and 25 among […]
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania say they may have a vaccine against the coronavirus, and a novel painless method to deliver it. It is currently being tested on mice with promising results. Delivered through a fingertip-sized patch, the vaccine produces antibodies specific to the SARS-CoV-2 “at quantities thought to be sufficient for neutralizing the virus,” the university said in a statement on Thursday. […]
Israel has begun testing a COVID-19 vaccine prototype on rodents at its bio-chemical defence laboratory, a source said on Tuesday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the Israel Institute for Biological Research (IIBR), in rural Ness Ziona, to join the fight against the coronavirus pandemic on February 1, prompting an easing of its secrecy as it cooperates with civilian scientists and private firms. In a statement, Netanyahu’s […]
Even if the US and other nations battling Covid-19 succeed in beating it back, the illness may return in yearly cycles, warned Anthony Fauci, a top expert on the US coronavirus task force, urging for the fast rollout of a vaccine. “This could become a seasonal, cyclic thing, and I’ve always indicated to you that I think it very well might,” Dr. Fauci told reporters at […]
As the COVID-19 death toll has skyrocketed and hunger for cures or salves has intensified, people who work with pets have noticed that popular interest in vaccines meant to treat a different strain of coronavirus in dogs has surged. Perhaps it was inevitable that these drugs—long produced by companies like Durvet and Merck—would enjoy a moment in the spotlight. We are living through a paralyzing disease […]
A human trial being held in Washington State to research a promising drug designed to fight COVID-19 is reportedly going better than expected, and it’s possible that a handful of infected patients – likely health-care workers – could be administered the drug by the fall. Stephane Bancel, the biotech’s chief executive, told Goldman Sachs on Friday that mRNA-1273 could be made available to a few patients, […]
As Covid-19 rapidly spreads, the world is united in hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. On Monday, some potentially good news came from Moscow where hopes are high that progress has been made on a vaccine. The head of the Russian Federal Biological Medical Agency (FMBA), Veronika Skvortsova, announced that the remedy should be available before the end of next winter. The […]
The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed that the first vaccine trial for the Covid-19 virus has begun as the world continues to battle the growing pandemic. In a media briefing on Wednesday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the trial had commended “just 60 days after the genetic sequence of the coronavirus was shared.” Tedros paid tribute to the “incredible achievement” of researchers around the world “who […]
Authored by Edward Curtin via Off-Guardian.org, The coronavirus panic has resulted in hordes of people running after toilet paper. Such actions are the flip side of running with the bulls, except that I suspect those who run with the bulls have some sense of why they do it. I imagine the thrill is a bit different, even if the goal is similar. The overriding narratives of […]
The influential trader once called the Bounty Hunter of Wall Street may have been acting in the public interest as well as his own when he tweeted a warning about one of the leading biotech companies developing a novel coronavirus vaccine. Or Andrew Left may have simply been seeking to cash in amidst a global pandemic, whatever impact his actions might have on Inovio Pharmaceuticals and […]

Anonymous bitcoiners are taking the search for a coronavirus vaccine into their own hands, bypassing academia, pharmaceutical companies and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The “biohacking” effort by a group known as CoroHope is being funded with crowdsourced bitcoin (BTC) donations. The group claims it has a biologist on board with 10 years of experience building similar vaccines for the FDA. Prominent community members […]
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) promised a St. Louis crowd on Monday that if he were elected, “everybody in this country” would receive the coronavirus vaccine “absolutely free” once it is developed. Roughly 45 minutes into the rally, Sanders began to discuss coronavirus while addressing his Medicare-for-all program, first stating, “We are prepared, uniquely in this campaign, to take on a health care industry that last year made […]
John Price, the CEO of Greffex, a Texas-based genetic engineering company, joined America’s Newsroom on Fox News Monday morning to tout a new vaccine his company has created to combat the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). Host Jon Scott began by stating that the “genetic engineering company says it has a vaccine for the virus and will soon test it on animals as required by the U.S. Government,” […]
President Trump was getting inaugurated later that week, so he was understandably absent when Bill Gates issued a prescient warning at the 2017 World Economic Summit in Davos, Switzerland. “Ebola and Zika showed that the world is tragically unprepared to detect local outbreaks and respond quickly enough to prevent them from becoming global pandemics,” Gates said. “Without investments in research and development, we will remain unequipped […]
Yesterday, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the CDC’s infectious disease unit, affirmed that even though Gilead and Moderna might be ready, or almost ready, for Phase 1 trials, the US likely won’t have a workable vaccine for another year to 18 months. And on Thursday, a team of Israeli scientists one-upped the US, boasting that they could have a vaccine ready “in a few weeks.” […]
As U.S. officials worked to shatter international records by sending a vaccine for the new, deadly coronavirus to phase one clinical trials, they also urged Americans to prepare for the worst. Meanwhile, experts poked new holes in the federal response so far to an illness that appeared to be on the cusp of a major national outbreak. There were 57 total confirmed cases of the 2019 […]
