Anti-Corona Vaccine From Bill Gates Funding Is Being Prepared
There is little hope in the midst of uncertainty when the corona virus or COVID-19 will end. There is now an anti-corona vaccine that will be clinically tested once it is accepted by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The anti-corona vaccine was proposed by a bio-technology company from Pennsylvania, USA named Inovio Pharmaceuticals.
The development of the vaccine was supported by Microsoft, Bill Gates and his wife Melinda Gates through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates and his wife help develop an anti-corona vaccine
Judging from their track record, the couple is known as a philanthropist who quite often donates his wealth to social activities.
In addition to support from Bill Gates’ foundation, the experiment was also assisted by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations foundation.
The candidate for the anti-corona vaccine, named INO-4800, will be injected into US volunteers starting Monday, April 13, 2022.
Please note that this anti-corona vaccine is not made from scratch. Inovio Pharmaceuticals has basically been prepared in the first phase. Where is the DNA vaccine candidate for the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) virus.
Now for the development of a vaccine for the MERS virus, it was reported that the results were positive. MERS basically comes from the same virus family as COVID-19, namely the coronavirus.
The vaccine being developed is reportedly able to produce high levels of antibodies in the body and can last a long time.
Anti-Corona Vaccine Still Under Development
Invio will try the vaccine on 40 healthy, adult volunteers who have been previously selected. The trial will also last for the next few weeks.
Some of the volunteers came from the Parelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania or the Center for Pharmaceutical Research in Kansas.
Later, each volunteer will be given two doses of the vaccine for four weeks with a predetermined time lag.
The results of the trial in the form of immune response data as well as the safety of treatment can be obtained at the end of summer or next September.
If indeed the results of the anti-corona vaccine are positive, Inovio will start conducting further research so that the vaccine can really overcome the virus.
As Dafunda Tekno quoted from Kompas.com, the company will produce one million doses of the vaccine by the end of 2022. So that it can be used in clinical trials and in emergencies.
It should also be noted that the development of an anti-corona vaccine will take a long time. Anthony Fauci, a doctor and immunologist from the US has emphasized several times. It will take at least a year to find out whether the vaccine can be used effectively against the virus or not.
