Berm.. thanks for that heads up re scancell comment .. I think the sum up says it all and worth posting ..
“ If such technologies are to advance and pass clinical testing in the future, it may be possible to provide an all-encompassing vaccine that could work against known coronaviruses, including SARS, MERS and COVID-19, as well as quickly and effectively quashing any future outbreaks should a novel coronavirus ‘jump’ into the human population.
This will be an incredibly challenging area of work, but it could come with tremendous benefits. Not only could a universal coronavirus vaccine help mitigate the damaging effects of another COVID-19-like pandemic, developing such a vaccine would help reduce time and finances spent continually updating vaccine formulations and for people to continue to visit clinics year on year to get their specific coronavirus shots. Moreover, by providing broader protection, a vaccine could reduce the amount of virus in circulation, thereby minimising the chances of variants emerging.
The past twenty years has shown just how damaging coronavirus outbreaks, and today pandemics, can be. By acting now to develop a more broadly protective vaccine, we can protect ourselves alongside future generations, and work towards making this deadly threat one for the history books.”
As you say it’s amazing that the Nottingham/Scancell universal vaccine was singled out for comment !!
Someone is taking notice !?
Take care ..
