Seattle plays big role in coronavirus vaccine that boosted immune response

A Seattle researcher who’s studying a coronavirus vaccine undergoing clinical trials is pleased with early results that show the vaccine mounts an immune response.

The vaccine, which is being developed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and drugmaker Moderna, was the first to be tested in the U.S. On Tuesday, researchers reported 45 volunteers developed neutralizing antibodies in their bloodstream similar to levels seen in patients who survived COVID-19.

“Seeing this is just wonderful,” said Dr. John Dunn, a researcher with the Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle.

Dunn said so far there’s no serious safety concerns with the vaccine, which is given in two shots, a month apart. One of the participants, Neal Browning of Bothell, said he did experience a little soreness at the injection site the morning after he received a dose but that only lasted a few minutes.

1. Uh-oh. "Soreness at the injection site." The objection every anti-vaxxer is going to have now.

"I don't wanna. It huuuuuuuuuuuurts!"



They probably don't know how agonizing it can be to gasp helplessly for breath as one lays dying of COVID-19.

All other things being equal, if this vaccine is proven safe, I want to see people lined up around the block to get it...

2. An inch of hope is never a bad measurement.

3. Hmmm ..... dont know whether it's the Moderna

vaccine but I was just talking with a former co-worker yesterday who told me about someone she knew in WA who had taken the first shot in a trial and had cognitive issues develop within a day or so after. She (the person my associate knew) was advised by a Dr. (don’t know whether affiliated with the vaccine trial or not) as a result to drop out of the trial, not take the 2nd shot, and that’s what she did.

Frankly, I don’t trust these reports. We seem to get a positive report every time the market drops or wavers lately and I can’t help but suspect tRump is using vaccine reports to manipulate a positive market response. Aren’t most of the vaccine developers getting federal aid and a promise of a federal contract if they develop successfully? The grifter in chief would readily use that leverage.

Call me paranoid, but I certainly have plenty of reason to be.
