The University of Oxford's COVID-19 vaccine trial has only a 50 percent chance of success as the coronavirus seems to be fading rapidly in Britain, the professor co-leading the development of the vaccine told the Telegraph newspaper.

Adrian Hill, director of Oxford's Jenner Institute, which has teamed up with drug maker AstraZeneca to develop the vaccine, said that an upcoming trial, involving 10,000 volunteers, threatened to return “no result” due to low transmission of COVID-19 in the community.

“It's a race against the virus disappearing, and against time”, Hill told the British newspaper. “At the moment, there’s a 50 percent chance that we get no result at all.”
The experimental vaccine, known as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, is one of the front-runners in the global race to provide protection against the new coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hill's team began early-stage human trials of the vaccine in April, making it one of only a handful to have reached that milestone.

AstraZeneca puts leading COVID-19 vaccine trial on hold over safety concern

https://uk.reuters.com/article/heal...ial-on-hold-over-safety-concern-idUKL1N2G5276

AstraZeneca on Tuesday (Sep 8) said it has paused a late-stage trial of one of the leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates after an unexplained illness in a study participant.

"Our standard review process was triggered and we voluntarily paused vaccination to allow review of safety data by an independent committee," company spokeswoman Michele Meixell said in an emailed statement.


The study is testing a COVID-19 vaccine being developed by AstraZeneca and University of Oxford researchers at various sites, including the United Kingdom, where the illness was reported.

The nature of the case and when it happened were not detailed, although the participant is expected to recover, according to Stat News, which first reported the trial was halted due to a "suspected serious adverse reaction". The US Food and Drug Administration defines that as an adverse event in which evidence suggests a possible relationship to the drug being tested.

There will be no working vaccine until you first regime change China and obtain the genome sequence of the virus.

Only two people hype up vaccines now: Big Pharma stock punters and politicians desperately trying to boost morale of their citizens. :cool:
