Thank you for posting this. Really above me chemistry wise but could understand clearly what the researchers aim for.

Dr Patrick Gunning, apart from being very intelligent is a very funny guy.

Although a serious subject he made the presentation very presentable.

Well worth watching and at times laughing.

Based on what I read here, the clinical trials all seem overall to be safe and a lifeline for many.

This is a scary true story for holloween - otherwise, don't watch it....

of a monoclonal antibody called Theralizumab in a human test trial. back in 2006 . Animal tests were fine, and it blew up at the human test level. I think doctors and companies learned a lot from this

The science write up on what was wrong with the drug is here

.

The movie on what happened to the normal people who signed up for the drug trial is here ... a cytokine storm in their bodies and organs shut down and they somehow lost their immune system.
