Coronavirus vaccine being rushed to market by skipping usual animal testing

(NaturalHealth365) Traditionally, it takes 15-20 years to develop a vaccine and get it to market. Normally, regulators require vaccine manufacturers to show their product safe before using it on people, and general it’s tested on lab animals before putting humans at risk with an unknown and untested vaccine. However, the current coronavirus pandemic has changed the world, and researchers are racing to have a coronavirus vaccine available. Does this sound safe?

Due to that race to have a coronavirus vaccine, a COVID-19 vaccine produced by Cambridge, Massachusetts biotech company Moderna is being rushed to the market and skipping the usual procedures of animal testing before use on humans. In fact, the clinical trial already started recruiting back in early March while the team continues to work on nonclinical research at the same time.

This coronavirus “solution” could be far worse than the virus

According to Moderna’s chief medical officer, Tal Zaks, they don’t believe that proving the vaccine first in animal models is the right path to getting the vaccine to a clinical trial. And while it shows the urgency to develop a coronavirus vaccine, rushing to market is both unusual and concerning.

Some experts in the field of ethics worry that the pressure to create new vaccines may result in suspending normal rules, rights, and standards of ethical conduct. Another worry – the technology Moderna’s using to create the new vaccine so quickly has never yielded an immunization in the past that’s even made it to market.

Traditional vaccines often use a weakened pathogen or proteins from a pathogen’s surface to help the body learn how to fight off the infection. Moderna’s trendy technology involves creating a lab-made concoction designed to make the body make its own virus-like bits so it starts to train itself to combat the virus. It’s a novel idea, yet it’s one that has not been proven effective by this company in the past.
