US Army Creates Single Vaccine Effective Against All COVID, SARS VariantsWithin weeks, Walter Reed researchers expect to announce that human trials show success against Omicron—and even future strains.Within weeks, scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research expect to announce that they have developed a vaccine that protects people from COVID-19 and all its variants, even Omicron, as well as from previous SARS-origin viruses that have killed millions of people worldwide. The achievement is the result of almost two years of work on the virus. The Army lab received its first DNA sequencing of the COVID-19 virus in early 2020. Very early on, Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch decided to focus on making a vaccine that would work against not just the existing strain but all of its potential variants as well. Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine, or SpFN, completed animal trials earlier this year with positive results. Phase 1 of human trials, which tested the vaccine against Omicron and the other variants, wrapped up this month, again with positive results that are undergoing final review, Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad, director of Walter Reed’s infectious diseases branch, said in an exclusive interview with Defense One. Unlike existing vaccines, Walter Reed’s SpFN uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 faces for its vaccine, which allows scientists to attach the spikes of multiple coronavirus strains on different faces of the protein. “It's very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,” Modjarrad said. The vaccine’s human trials took longer than expected, he said, because the lab needed to test the vaccine on subjects who had neither been vaccinated nor previously infected with COVID. The rapid spread of the Delta and Omicron variants made that difficult. “With Omicron, there's no way really to escape this virus. You're not going to be able to avoid it. So I think pretty soon either the whole world will be vaccinated or have been infected,” Modjarrad said. The next step is seeing how the new pan-coronavirus vaccine interacts with people who were previously vaccinated or previously sick. Walter Reed will be hiring a yet-to-be-named industry partner for that wider rollout. “We need to evaluate it in the real-world setting and try to understand how does the vaccine perform in much larger numbers of individuals who have already been vaccinated with something else initially…or already been sick,” Modjarrad said, adding that the new vaccine will still need to undergo phase 2 and phase 3 trials. He said nearly all of Walter Reed’s 2,500 researchers have had some role in the vaccine’s nearly-two-year development. “We decided to take a look at the long game rather than just only focusing on the original emergence of SARS, and instead understand that viruses mutate, there will be variants that emerge, future viruses that may emerge in terms of new species. Our platform and approach will equip people to be prepared for that.” |

I stand corrected. Here is the original paper from a year ago 1. Dearlove B, Lewitus E, Bai H, Li Y, Reeves DB, Joyce MG, Scott PT, Amare MF, Vasan S, Michael NL, Modjarrad K, Rolland M. A SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidate would likely match all currently circulating variants. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2020 Sep 22;117(38):23652-23662. doi: 10 |

A sure way for people not to take this vaccine ,is to promote that it was developed by the USA millitary..... Most of the world hates the USA,and it's millitary..... Lmao Take care all π·ππ |

A little too late on deleting all that negativity in your post Carbonco, such a healthy attitude on display for everyone. |

Think again. The Chinese military possesses SARS-CoV-2's closest relative, 99.1% similar, not RaTG13, 96% similar. The former virus came from Zhoushan Island, due east of Wuhan, in 2017. Without mouse-adaptions to prove the origin of Omicron, it can grow in neonatal rat cells. Both military effeminates should be lastingly boycotted. |

Except for the initial post, and Usk's response, I think the whole rest of the thread should be deleted. If we are over 18, why can we not act like it? And must we trash whole countries because of the actions of some in it? |

Interesting. What is the 99.1% virus called? I'm quite sure there are any number of horrific diseases lurking in military labs all over the world. |

Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesnβt accord with the facts.
