There's an ongoing need for a 'Covidity' or similar https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10660967/Health-chief-hints-relevant-groups-continue-Covid-boosters-six-months.html

Come on Scancell !

A few days on - how are you now ? ATB

B - you can take it as read - GWS

Chin up Cleaner !

I had a dream - in two of the 4 Pharma looking at GlymabTM antibodies, inspired Executives shout 'serendipity' and rush off to see the CEO to say, 'Crikey Boss, we've just gotta have this Glymab'.

After a bl**dy auction process, the SP then goes up to GBP 8 !!

And then I woke up! ATB

Echoing C7's post yesterday, here's more :-

"Vaccines protect against infection from Omicron subvariant — but not for long. Two doses of COVID vaccine cut the risk of infection and mild illness from the rising BA.2 subvariant, although protection wanes quickly. Two doses of an mRNA vaccine such as that made by Pfizer–BioNTech provide similar protection against two subvariants of SARS-CoV-2.

The Omicron subvariant BA.2 is replacing its sister version, BA.1, as the dominant form of SARS-CoV-2 in many countries, which has led scientists to wonder whether the COVID-19 pandemic is about to throw these regions into disarray yet again. But a study1 published on 13 March shows that mRNA vaccines offer a similar degree of protection against the two strains — although protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptomatic disease wanes within months of a third dose."

" And going forwards, Abu-Raddad thinks researchers should move away from designing vaccines against single variants and instead focus on pan-coronavirus vaccines. “This would be a more fundamental solution for the future,” he says."

You can say that again !

BTW IMO worth the whole read https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00775-3?

Try again https://twitter.com/scancellpharma/status/1503778896482910221?t=doElXMbd1J7iuYlHglsv5w&s=19

Certainly an interesting development . . . .

Here's that SD tweet - (hopefully) hTTps://twitter.com/scancellpharma/status/1503778896482910221?t=doElXMbd1J7iuYlHglsv5w&s=19 (Thanks EE)

"If only we could make some progress with the Covidity trial." Spot on Johnny. And maybe Sally Adams and the BoD do indeed lack the drive as Konar wondered earlier. Is it all a bit 'civil service' at Scancell ?

Myself I don't understand why a financial magnet was not deployed in RSA.

The Pandemic is unlikely to be over despite help from Omicron - the risk of further variants is clear and will continue. A Covid vaccine with wider and longer lasting protection, will be dynamite so it will be nice to find out if Covidity works as we hope.

CEPI have long been aware of Covidity and their non-involvement thus far means either that they are not interested or that Scancell prefer another route. For LTH this is an agonising wait. I agree with Konar about 'drive' on the BoD.

So it's 'tick tock' and thanks WTP

Agreed Ruck !!

Whoops ! that's 31.7.2012 . . . .
Seems like a lifetime ago.

AB 15.02 - "I'll have a look down the ADVFN history when I get the time but it's a bit of a needle and haystack job."

You can say that again M8 ! Here you go, starting with ADVFN post no.2 (31.7.2102) by 'Rest assured', quoting 'Lucinda', "The Future Share Price - During Scancell's recent presentation for investor's and analysts, held on the 13th of March, the directors indicated that they were seeking somewhere in the region of 1 billion dollars for SCIB1's IP in the intended trade sale of the business. This equates to around 320p per share."

Yes please to that btw.

For some more, that's 49,000+ posts to go LOL. Good luck and ATB

Hello AB. I can certainly recall reading many posts of that sort in those now long gone heady days - and whilst, maybe I was not 'fooled', I did then have expectations that were way way ahead of where we are now . . . . . as it is, a mere GBP8 would be fine (wink).

'Let him that is without sin, cast the first stone' - (my stones are in my pocket).

Come on - dish the dirt !

RW yes but when the SP has fallen by more than 50% in recent times but has risen (atm) by say 1/80th of that 50% drop, how should we feel ? Whilst better UP than Down of course!

However, there's not much for a 'mad ramper' to work on (atm).

Me - mute but holding strong - just for the sake of balance . . . .

Misposting - 1 beer Chang and two sore Moderna arms . . . .

To complete, CEPI keep tweeting the article that includes a mention for Scancell, but, the article is about the principle of the thing rather than Scancell itself.

GLA

Johnny thanks for that. Crumbs, WTP etc. that's bang on IMO. It's that Scancell have not chosen the CEPI route, indeed the expressed intention as said, was for Scancell to 'Partner' at the next stage which I hope, is as soon as possible.

Again, CEPI keep tweeting the article that includes a mention for Scancell, but, it's about the That said, it would have been nice to see Scancell mentioned in some way.

Hi Cleaner - IMO it's 'living in hope' but not naive. If CEPI have some news I suppose they are free to choose the Summit to release it. But I'm not holding my breath ! ATB

Gooosed posted this on March 1st - "On March 7-8, 2022, CEPI and the UK Government will bring together leading figures from governments, industry, philanthropy, and civil society for The Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit, which aims to mobilise the critical resources for CEPI’s $3.5 billion pandemic plan and political support required to advance ground-breaking vaccine innovations, and enable equitable access to these innovations, so that we can end pandemics once and for all."

Note that's - 'to advance ground-breaking vaccine innovations'.

More - "WATCH LIVE: Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit. The Global Pandemic Preparedness Summit represents a pivotal moment in humanity’s fight against emerging infectious diseases. CEPI and the UK Government are co-hosting this Summit to explore how the world can respond to the next “Disease X” by making safe, effective vaccines, within 100 days. The UK Government will also use this occasion to build further support for CEPI’s bold 5-year pandemic plan to neutralise the threat of future epidemics and pandemics and avert the destruction and devastation such crises can cause." https://100days.cepi.net/

This has been posted before by others so thanks. I can't see any reference to proceedings on the 7th BUT CEPI say that the event is scheduled for 3.45 pm today - there's a button in the link to watch live.

Re. my last, I should have added to, "Nuclear deterrence is of no value in deterring other aggressions, once one side has invoked the nuclear threat" the words 'and the other side has blinked !' Never mind. At least I'm more cheerful than Inan elsewhere.

To show my age, Folks used to say, 'Blinking heck !' before such words were shortened to 4 letters mainly. ATB
