I just came across this article...clinical tests need to be done but they feel in 90 days, if all test out, they will have a vaccine..orally too which is easier to administer. Article says they are working with other companies so I am thinking they are in touch with some larger drug houses in Europe , America. Since this article was published in legitimate news outlet in Israel I felt ok to post here but if powers to be it's some violation of what ever, just remove..no problem from me. What is surprising to me is the article is dated 4/7 and I don't believe it's been reported by any of the news organization. To be honest, I have kind of shut down CNN and never watch the other cable networks and even on the internet haven't seen any message on this report. Has anyone here heard anything about it? ============================== "Israeli scientists are on the cusp of developing the first vaccine against the novel coronavirus, according to Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis. If all goes as planned, the vaccine could be ready within a few weeks and available in 90 days, according to a release. “Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough,” Akunis said. “I am confident there will be further rapid progress, enabling us to provide a needed response to the grave global COVID-19 threat,” Akunis said, referring to the disease caused by the novel coronavirus." "“We are currently in intensive discussions with potential partners that can help accelerate the in-human trials phase and expedite completion of final-product development and regulatory activities,” he said." ============================== www.jpost.com/HEALTH-SCIENCE/Israeli-scientists-In-three-weeks-we-will-have-coronavirus-vaccine-619101

It probably wasn't reported because our current administration wants all the benefits of developing a vaccine for the good old USA. Profit, yanno… So glad that Israel is making such great progress on a vaccine!

One you don't want that be made public since it's a world wide pandemic. Two too many eyes on the situation and the ability to get called out if it happens.

It has been reported that 3 different investment vehicles attached to Trump Inc. have invested in a French company that makes that drug I cant pronounce or spell...chloroquine(sp), which Trump has been pushing for weeks.

I wish the papers wouldn't report on stuff like this.
let me know if you want me to explain why, otherwise I will assume that all of you understand.

The Oxford vaccine is going to human trials tomorrow........ Its based on a vaccine they had developed for MERS and is introduced on another virus to aid the level of immunity. Its got to be tested it against a control and then evaluated to see who it best suits.. There is another UK one from Imperial but I don't think that is so far on.....and the government are throwing millions at it.
The Worlds virology centres are collaberating and there is a few additional interesting things in the pipeline.
Vaccination is not imminent but as soon as they get something it will be full steam ahead.
Its not taking as long as some had projected.(Hoping for the Autumn)
