Popular Post Rancid Posted May 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 Good to see Aussies pressing ahead with this urgently needed vaccine, the death rate from this gruesome pandemic currently stands at a staggering 0.0000051%. This is almost approaching to the death rate for accidentally falling out of a plane. People are praying daily, between sessions hiding in their basements washing their hands, for this viral devastation of the population to finally end. Only a vaccine can save us form genocide. God bless the sound of celebrities singing "were all in this together" from their isolated mansions, it has given us the moral fortitude to keep fighting. Not the Australia I grew up in... 1 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuyiinthesky Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I don't know if RT.com (official Russian English News) should be trusted, but they claim that this was sponsored by the Bill Gates Foundation: Quote US biotech firm Novavax begins Covid-19 vaccine trials on Australian volunteers after getting $388mn from Bill Gates-backed fund Novavax is testing a new coronavirus vaccine on human subjects for the first time, launching a phase one clinical trial with a massive grant from an agency founded by Bill Gates, kicking off a storm of concerns online. The Maryland-based pharma company has begun its trial, which will dose some 130 Australian participants with the new inoculation, hoping to see results as early as July and proceed to the second phase. Source: https://www.rt.com/news/489738-novavax-covid-vaccine-trial/ RT might refer to this news release on the novavax website: http://ir.novavax.com/news-releases/news-release-details/novavax-receive-388-million-funding-cepi-covid-19-vaccine What I don't understand is why the US company (Gaithersburg, MD) is testing on Australians? Wouldn't the US, for example New York, make more sense? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they infect the Australians after the vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 ? If so, then New York should be no problem. Australia does so much to keep the virus out, why bring it in?

There's a concept called quarantine. The test subjects are vaccinated, placed in quarantine, and exposed to the virus either artificially or in contact with infected persons. Success is measured by the infection rate and severity of symptoms in the test subjects. I daresay New York is running out of options in terms of quarantine or a controlled experiment. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great weather, clean beaches and sea, good food, no stress. Some really sensual & attractive women, just as in other countries. However, people who boast of going to Cambodia for paid sex IMO are... I agree-great country and great people.I love it's diversity and (generally speaking) it's free and easy tolerance.So do the Thai in my community..as I've never seen them happier or more independent in their views and activities.

Sorry, I do not see why an almost virus free Australia is the better place to infect the vaccinated test subjects. If they are to be infected, then it doesn’t really matter that there are infected persons somewhere outside. Also of course Novavax has enough labs in the US to run a controlled test, enough money, enough Universities. So why test on Australians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
