Discussion: Vaccine

Good to hear that you are on the job!

Are you cooperating with CSIRO, or are the various vaccine research teams around the world working independently?

At this point little to no global coordination. Some coordination within critical US departments eg defense /NIH etc and individual companies. Essentially the first phase is pivoting on "competition" to get there first with a "quick and dirty" vaccine. Phase 2 will neeed global coordination to ensure that serotypes from recovered patients world-wide are used to delineate the cross-reacting epitopes (to the Spike protein) that will enable a broad-based Neutralizing Antibody vaccine to be delivered for next time!
