RG is not denying it there and to me, it was hardly a 'science issue' he is basically saying we will RNS when such news arrives...

I think you are right to wait for verification of the Mirror article before claiming scancell has a pharma manufacturing partner as it is potentially very big news, however still worth tweeting about it as it does indeed exist.... Let's hope an RNS tommo I mean the right RNS lol

Sunday Times one does not mention a pharma willing to manufacture or the nice pump from Lindy of '5-6 years immunity' Yeah that's all very tabloid but so what, where in the last 20 years have scancell got by being 'careful'...

And that is to get the candidate into trial not quibble over being 'careful' lol

As with all ‘competing’ solutions . This is a CANDIDATE vaccine. Not the finished article; ie a vaccine. We all need to be careful in the messaging we give out to the public. I know about this one, as I designed the active inserts. I hope they will work, but we cant be sure yet.'

Nice to know he designed the active inserts though... so no doubts he is super keen to see it progress

So it could be some form of combo vaccine approach is what will be needed ... we here know all about the importance of correct combos.

Active with his twitter this morning too... not too impressed with that Oxford data.... Also scancell tweeters could be worth retweeting this one from him:
'Replying to
@TriciaGroom
,
@BorisJohnson
and
@10DowningStreet
Monoclonal antibodies are potentially powerful weapons. We are working on these too. But #SARS work suggests virus can escape so ****tails needed. Also manufacture isn’t trivial.'

Straight to Gov

Not just money Ruck but support from those who have the capability to move this vaccine on... Seems we may now have some pharma support which as Ivy points out will not just be a casual arrangement as they are agreeing to a potentially massive project ... Now we need support from those with power to fund and push the Notts vaccine into a trial... U.K gov not being only option there but shame on them if not especially now the Oxford vaccine is looking like it may at best only make infection - less bad if the monkey data translates.

RG up nice and early to do the Tweeting too

Yeah.. though there was that 'Autumn' timeline again which seems to be for real now funding pending so it does seem scancell are getting info out in the push to get into trials ASAP and to have a pharma manufacturing partner would significantly add to that so yes until in an RNS it is only in the mirror but looks legit to me and not something a journo would just come up with

Thanks, Ivy that was what I wondering as in it is more than just a casual hey you guys we'll make that for you ...Surely a lot more has gone into such an agreement ... As ever plenty going on but obviously the funding issue is still very much the issue ... At least one the wider world is now hearing of got to keep that fire burning until it attracts the attention of those we need it to.

His email is CliffHolloway at scancell dot co dot uk

I wonder though at what level this 'pharma' will come in as 'agreed to manufacture' could mean a number of things to how close they may want their relationship with scancell to be... Still, a nice way to start a Sunday :) And come on Tories think of the saving of a longterm immune effect vaccine... Don't be afraid of a female scientist who could offer the best solution to the worlds biggest problem she is after all British!

Nothing like putting the pressure on...we need this cuz my donated 25 quids will not go far,??....why others find it so easy to attract fund's for lesser science is the scancell mystery but well done Lindy for getting some proper body blows in there..... potential 5 years immunity yay

Which will though indeed mean some of the funds raised will go to Covidity R&D .... Dunno how much they have raised so far apart from my 25 quids

This is not to raise funds that will directly go to Scancell it is to Support The University of Nottingham:
'University of Nottingham researchers are applying their expertise in a number of critical research areas; finding the best vaccine to combat COVID-19, discovering vital new treatments and protect the world against future outbreaks that could save many thousands of lives.

Our leading researchers are using their extensive virology knowledge to help develop a safe and effective vaccine to prevent COVID-19. Led by Professor Lindy Durrant, in collaboration with colleagues and partners Scancell, work is underway to adapt an existing cancer vaccine platform for use against COVID-19. This DNA vaccine has potential to provide a vital effective and durable immune response to COVID-19. The vaccine has potential to also protect against new strains of coronavirus that may arise in the future.

Alongside work on the vaccine, experts at our Centre for Research on Global Virus Infections are also involved in developing novel treatments for COVID-19, as well as assessing the risk for future pandemic events. They have already identified new coronaviruses in rodents. We now need to investigate their potential to jump species and establish new outbreaks in humans.

Your support will go directly to our essential research efforts – finding the best vaccine to combat COVID-19, discovering vital new treatments and protecting the world against future outbreaks.'

Ahh they do separate them at the point of donation
https://alumni.nottingham.ac.uk/a/covid-19-emergency-appeal

Having now read that yeah it does look like both... bit confusing shouldn't they both be separated ...Anyways I'll send in £25

The Notts appeal is for struggling students not to get funds for the vaccine... worthwhile all the same

Lanced the boil but the pus will ooze till August... how he can still squeeze over 400k out of the business for a few more months of doing nothing is to my mind criminal! Though at least by now being paid to do nothing he won't be costing the company millions anymore either... notice Saturdays will be going back to normal again as we said they would .. duh...

Agree with that ... we are all in a giant petri dish and only time will bring results
