This is.........pretty huge. This is currently the fastest option to a vaccine and so far they haven't stumbled or had a roadblock. The next step is to have these people go out into the general populace and see if anyone gets COVID. (do they get a mask-exempt card?)
A coronavirus vaccine being developed by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca is safe and shows signs of inducing an immune response, according to early clinical trial results published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet.
The trial results found that the vaccine generated two "strong" immune responses: the production of both antibodies and T cells. The immune system makes antibodies in response to a virus so it can recognize it and fight it off a second time. T cells are also important, because they search for infected cells, attacking and killing them.
"We're getting both sides of the immune system stimulated, and that is fairly unusual for vaccines," Adrian Hill, director of the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, told NBC News.
