Lindy Durrant is in today's Sunday Mirror. I'm having problems with the link but I've been out and bought a paper and the article and picture is there.
'British Scientists have begun clinical trials on a potentially game changing corona virus vaccine. The vaccine which could provide immunity for six years differs from others currently in development in that it requires far fewer top up jabs because it targets a different part of the immune system. We can also reveal that a leading pharmaceutical company has already agreed to manufacture the vaccine which is being developed at Nottingham University, if it is ruled safe. There are high hopes it will be licensed because the scientists behind it have already used the same technology to develop an effective skin cancer jab. Patients suffering from melanoma received an injection sparking the growth of t cells which recognize and destroy cancer cells. Professor Lindy Durrant who is leading the research said, T cells also kill virally infected cells. This could provide longer term immunity against coronavirus. Our proposal is that you would need to be vaccinated less frequently. If you have good T cell memory, it should last longer. It could potentially last five to six years.
'Because the DNA vaccine has already been shown to be safe and effective in humans, we can fast track'
Professor Durrant's team has already begun testing the jab on mice and human trials could begin in Autumn if investment is secured.
