The COVID-19 vaccine may in fact be the most
fast-tracked vaccine ever created in all history, which necessitates the
elimination of required safety testing steps, such as animal testing
·
Pfizer in collaboration with BioNTech began human
trials in the U.S. of a COVID-19 vaccine on May 11, 2020. If successful, the
vaccine could be released as early as September 2020 with an FDA-approved
Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)
·
Like Moderna and several other competitors, the
Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is using messenger RNA (mRNA) rather than live or
attenuated (inactivated) viruses grown in animal cells
·
Previous attempts to create coronavirus vaccines
have failed due to coronaviruses triggering production of two different types
of antibodies — one that fights disease and one that triggers “paradoxical
immune enhancement” that often results in very serious disease and/or death
·
Vaccines that caused
paradoxical immune enhancement initially looked very promising as they produced
very robust antibody responses. Yet when exposed to the wild virus, ferrets and
children became severely ill and many died
There is no evidence
supporting the case that any disease has ever been eradicated by vaccines
