Doubts over #Oxford vaccine as it fails to stop coronavirus in animal trials
Experts warn that vaccine may only be ‘partially effective’ after results of a trial in rhesus macaque monkeys
But Eleanor Riley, professor of Immunology and Infectious Disease at the University of Edinburgh, said there was both good and bad news in the most monkey trials:
“Whilst the vaccine induced neutralising antibodies and vaccinated animals experienced less severe clinical symptoms than unvaccinated animals (good), the neutralising antibody titres were low and insufficient to prevent infection and – importantly – insufficient to prevent viral shedding in nasal secretions (worrying).
“If similar results were obtained in humans, the vaccine would likely provide partial protection against disease in the vaccine recipient but would be unlikely to reduce transmission in the wider community.”

A special formula of the professor's #interferon drug, SNG001, were two or three more times more likely to recover than those given a placebo
Patients given the drug directly into their airways via a nebuliser, a powerful inhaler, were 79 percent less likely to become seriously ill with the disease.
For those on the drug breathlessness was 'markedly reduced'.
