A Maryland man believes he could be one of the first people successfully vaccinated against coronavirus after his body produced antibodies in response to a trial.
David Rach hailed the 'promising' results from a trial at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, where US drugs giant Pfizer and German firm BioNTech are gearing up to mass-produce the vaccine if it proves effective.
Rach, a graduate immunology student at the university, said his body was generating more antibodies than the levels seen in recovering virus patients after he was the first person injected in the trial.

That's not a vaccine it's an immune system booster. How long does it last? Would his body have reacted the same without treatment? Without a control this result isn't testable or reproducible.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely promising and he doesn’t know if he was injected with the placebo because of the control study. Hard to believe how fast they are doing this.
ReplyDeleteGood so then those that take the vaccines are immune and have nothing to worry about from those who choose not too. My body my choice, not taking anything.
