The herd seem to have arrived at Scancell. This is a gem from an account with 13 posts:
"Probably the most mature and informative BB I have come across but as for mentioned, the numpties will arrive once this gains momentum."
Scancell may have found the key to beating the virus but
There are other companies / labs exploring the same concept;
Plenty of money will be required;
Any new vaccines are unlikely to be trialled against a placebo - the "placebos" will be the existing effective vaccines, so the performance bar has already been set at a very high level;
Focusing on the N Protein will not provide a Universal Vaccine - it may be targetting a part of the virus that does not mutate as fast / easily, but there are 21 Proteins in the vaccine, not just 1;
Scancell's tech relies on Lipid Nanoparticles [the fat envelope] and supply is bottlenecked with most production capabilities having been secured for the current mRNA vaccines...
Probably a good trade for some wages though.
