If you Google 'dr fauci and interferon', you will note his positive involvement goes back to 1988 with interferon alpha and AIDS. His recent positive comments for the use of interferon beta is even more relevant now.

aqua - it's hard to compare CWR v. ITM.
In last 4 years since 2016, CWR's 2020 accounts show revenue up from £1m(loss £10m) in 2016 to £19m (loss 7m).
In same period ITM revenue up from £2m (loss 4m) to £3m (loss £30m). Also in same period CWR loss per share REDUCED from 13.50p in 2016 to current 4.60p - ITM loss per share INCREASED from 1.98p to 7.40p.
Wishing the best of luck to BOTH companies...

Let's hope BOTH these vaccines become global panaceas for COVID-19.
However, we forget at our peril, how the pharmaceutical companies allowed the early release of THALIDOMIDE in the 1950s without rigorous long term testing.
"
Thalidomide was first developed by CIBA, a Swiss pharmaceutical company in the early 1950s, and subsequently introduced as Contergan by Chemi Grunenthal.
The drug was initially advertised as a sedative which would allow users to undergo a deep sleep in the absence of a hangover and with a reduced risk of developing drug dependency. At the time, basic testing was done on the drug, and it was considered not to have any toxic effects on humans.
However, unlike today’s level of rigorous testing, the drug was not analyzed for any potentially dangerous teratogenic effects.
Following its release, the drug became popular as a morning sickness remedy for pregnant women due to its anti-emetic effects. This increase in use for pregnant women was aided by the fact that the drug could be obtained without a prescription, and was affordable.
However, following its widespread use in Japan, Australia, and Europe, practitioners began to notice links between mothers who had taken thalidomide and the presence of congenital mutations in their children.
"
...the rest (unfortunately) is history.
I can't believe that today's COVID-19 vaccines have undergone any trials for long-term side effects.

Part of Government’s 10-point plan (today’s S. Telegraph)
“ The 10-point plan is likely to include other policies in a similar mould. Carbon capture and storage, and the development of carbon-free hydrogen fuel for industry, homes and vehicles tick many of the same boxes. They are ambitious technology changes that will require determined state intervention to stand a chance of success.”
