Israeli's moving quickly to get out a COVID-19 vaccine

[HowardR]

On this national day of prayer, we should be thankful for the upcoming Israeli COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Shahar, one of the scientists at MIGAL, the Israeli research institute that developed this vaccine, saw God’s hand in it:

“It’s a little bit like fate that we were working on this coronavirus vaccine at the same time that the world was suddenly hit by this epidemic of coronavirus for humans.”

This is interesting material Howard. Reading this, the issue of whether we CLL’ers will be in a position to effectively form the antibodies necessary;

‘The scientific framework for the vaccine is based on a new protein expression vector, which forms and secretes a chimeric soluble protein that delivers the viral antigen into mucosal tissues by self-activated endocytosis (a cellular process in which substances are brought into a cell by surrounding the material with cell membrane, forming a vesicle containing the ingested material), causing the body to form antibodies against the virus.’

For those more scientific, one would hope this will not be a live virus?

Even if we can't form the antibodies ourselves, the vaccine could keep others from spreading the virus to us.

Amen to that.

Good point,

We can not do a live vacine either,
