Today I saw on the news that Russia has completed human trial but they have not mentioned anything about vaccine name and also our own Queenslanders have started new human trial, who do you think will have vaccine in the market first. If it is Americans I know for the fact that they would make it into a Hollywood movie.
There was a movie made about a virus starting in HK and spreading around the world about 10 years ago. I guess they could make another movie but focus on how they came up with the vaccine if it is successful. However would any movie about the virus attract audiences to watch it? The whole purpose of making movies is to make money or to promote a certain cause or principle.Originally Posted by Carissawhore
Realistically america - got the most to gain and they are throwing money at the problem
Sounds like Oxford University have made a break through, I'm cautiously optimistic...
Oxford uni has admitted failure short after they claimed that they can have the vaccine in 10months. So Oxford is out.
I would bet on either China or Australia.
I hope it’s Australia so that we can be the first to use it hahaha.I would think its Australia
Let's hope so but any country would want to be first to get their hands on the vaccine. There was mention of a recent attempt by Russia to hack into various places around the world that were involved in trying to get the vaccine for covid-19 virus.
We may think that many countries and medical organizations are competing on the vaccine development. I am not sure how true this is.
A vaccine is typically and only developed on disease is knwon exists for many years and sure will continue to exist after the long cycle of development (average 10 years).
If the virus disappears or mutates, all the investment goes to drainage. I heard a company spent 70m on SARS and didn't get a cent in return. Many will be quite conservative in putting investment in.
I somehow feel that China and Australia are doing this without consideration of returns that's why I bet on them. But I think repurposed drug might be a more realistic solution.
tough task, looking at what happened with sars, no vaccine after all these years.
viruses will always be a step ahead and mutate.
lets hope im wrong...
SARS just disappeared by itself so all the development has stopped.
How it disappeared was a mystery. The only explanation is that SARS is a human created virus and does not exist in nature.
Not to get all scientific on you guys technically SARS is the disease. the original sars which occurred was called SARS-COVID or sars COVID 1 both SARS back then and Covid 19 today are all from the coronavirus family. As a matter of fact COVID 19 can also sometimes be referred to SARS COVID 2.
The currently COVID-19 is the disease whilst the coronavirus is the virus causing it.
What was my point in all this, I can’t remember now lol.
SARS 1 is still out there, but is much less infectious than Sars 2 and isn't much of a problem therefore. Research for a vaccine to SARS 1 got to an advanced stage of development here in Australia before the crisis abated and funding was dropped. If this research had gone all the way to a developed vaccine all the groundwiork would have been done and it would have been a relatively quick process to adapt the vaccine to SARS 2, and we wouldn't have the present pandemic.
Before this one we had three emerging virus warnings since the turn of the 21st century, and Govt's ignored them by not developing vaccines, to our vast cost.
Could be the Chinese

Didn’t they say on the news that one vaccine has already been approved and is in production ? And England has ordered 100 million doses, and 20 million Australians will be vaccined for free soon ?
Made in Australia ?

The vaccine with most media traction at the moment appears to be Oxford vaccine but that apparently leaves Australia out.
It is reported at agreeing to supply 400 million doses to Europe at no profit, whatever no profit means.

Could be the Oxford vaccine as they are the front runner. But wouldnt be surprised if US or China as they have the most candidates at advance stages.
Wish it could be oz so we get it first, but we only have 2 candidates and few stages behind china and US
Oxford has completed Phase 1.
Which is basically a low count test to show it doesn't kill people.
They've also discovered it creates some antibidies.
Much is yet to be proven.
Eg. Will the antibodies actually last more than 3-6 months, will it protect against all strains (and there are already multiple) of covid-19.
The lead candidate for Sars actually failed final stage testing as it increased the impact and mortality rate of some symptoms.
Agreed.. Australian medical research is always ahead if the curveI would think its Australia
Yep, and then another country will develop and produce it and make all the profits, as always happens with Australian research.
By the time a vaccine is found, it'll have evolved into something else that needs a vaccine!!
That's just the cynic in me
