In Race for a Coronavirus Vaccine, an Oxford Group Leaps Ahead - The New York Times

Hi, all,

Can anybody explain the leg-up that Oxford group has because of their work on Malaria?

They have a leg up because they already tested a close relative of their vaccine for safety. That's the first step in clinical trials, to prove that you do no harm. So they've modified that already tested vaccine for the current pandemic and they're ready to go directly to efficacy trials.

Because there is not enough to be afraid of, I suggest this movie to put on the stack for the evenings at home!

Thanks, Roger. There’s something about that that just doesn’t sit well with me. How do they know that the difference between the near relatives is not the crucial difference. After all, deadly nightshade is a close relative of tomatoes. And what does malaria have to do with it … a completely different sort of organism.

Anyway, I like the dream.
