“I’m a vaccine researcher, and even I would place myself in the ‘not sure’ bucket.
What we have right now is a collection of animal data, immune response data and safety data based on early trials and from similar vaccines for other diseases.
The evidence that would convince me to get a COVID-19 vaccine, or to recommend that my loved ones get vaccinated, does not yet exist.”

“In addition to positive interim Phase 1 data, INO-4800 has been shown to protect mice in SARS-CoV-2 viral challenge studies, where vaccination with INO-4800 prevented viral replication in the lungs of animals challenged with SARS-CoV-2.”
[Vaccinated animals must be challenged with live (wild) virus, like so. I wouldn’t consider any vaccine that skips this step.]
