Zika virus vaccine for animals brings hope for human protection

[zenitzz]

An experimental vaccine that completely protects animals from the Zika virus has raised hopes for a jab that can bring the fast-spreading disease under control.

Trials in the US found that a single immunisation shot made from a purified and inactivated form of the Zika virus gave mice total protection against the illness that has swept through Brazil and other parts of South America.

The race is now on to convert this early success into an effective human vaccine, but that may not be straightforward. The similarity of the Zika virus to others in circulation means the vaccine may prove less effective in some people, and could potentially make other infections, such as dengue fever, more serious. Those concerns will almost certainly have to be addressed before human trials can begin.


Dan Barouch, who led the study at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, called the trial results “a step forwards in the development of a Zika virus vaccine”, but said more research lay ahead. “Of course we need to be cautious about extrapolating results from mice into humans,” he said.

This is good news . I believe that if the animals have found a vaccine that was one step to save mankind from the virus

Really a good news.  If proven and tested maybe it is the right time to manufacture and distribute those vaccines before the virus spreads the entire humanity.     It is such alarming that just a mosquito bite would really affect and bring a dilemma to the entire world.  Such horrible thing to see babies that were born with little heads just because of the virus came from a small mosquito.

I know a really effective way to reduce the incidence of birth defects.  The solution is relatively obvious.  Bill Gates and his 'flying syringes' could be really helpful here and really contribute to 'saving the planet.'  Creepy pseudo-science fundamentalists of the world rejoice!

its as if god sending us these diseases to help depopulate the planet and save us from ourselves and every time we slap him in the face, would it be such a terrible thing to quarantine these places and let the poor and stupid ones die off?

It's the 'poor and stupid' people who take off into the jungle when the vaccination squads come to the village, and in some cases the men of the group will hack the attackers to pieces with machetes.

OTOH, most of your beloved honkeys will actually pay their own money to get their bloodstreams directly injected with whatever concoction the globalists feel is good for their 'global village.'

I'm going to wager that the 'poor and stupid' end up being the ones who have evolved the survival skills needed to continue forward while your pure race ends up being bred out of existence through a variety of programs.

Wow, I thought about reminding tvbcof that the people of third world countries are often victims of circumstance, that poverty doesn't equal stupidity (case in point - ex-USSR scientists and engineers who get paid just enough to survive), and that his quarantine will only serve to destroy culture and infrastructure... but your social darwinist BS eclipsed his post. Congrats?
Survival takes society nowhere, survival is what wild animals do. Unless a person is content with being a clueless barbarian, he should cherish knowledge and utilize it in pursuit of progress.

Remind saddampbuh.  I have little doubt that the average native in a primitive environment is vastly more capable on any number of fronts (intelligence, wits, health (mental and physical), reflexes, etc) than the average 'civilized' person grazing at Walmart.

I am not saying this doesn't depend on culture, of course it does. But culture is malleable, it can be improved, and ignoring third world instead of interacting with it in order to diminish ultraconservative influence is a huge waste.
I am not advocating for migration, I am trying to offer a way that would make migration unreasonable to begin with.

It is indeed a great news.  Maybe they should start to produce it and distribute to hospitals around the world to help the victims and maybe if possible all people in the country that was affected by the Zika virus.

look up the black death and aids. it is always the poor and stupid who are killed off in the greatest numbers. i recall recently in the case of ebola the primitives attacked and chased away the men in white suits coming to save them.

[groll]

Another deadly virus on the loose.  Virus is like technology, it continue to evolve.  From aids, meningococcemia, bird flu, and now Zika.  Do they exist because the earth is too dirty or it just riding the wave of evolution or something. 

Anyways, it is a good thing that it is still new kind of virus and they have solve or find a cure for it.  Maybe they should give it or distribute it to the country which have most case of Zika.

[ethereumhunter]

its a good news for us, but i think before that vaccine is apply for human, better to make another research so if the vaccine wants to be used for human, its really save and sterile to use for human. many people was hope that zika virus will have antidote so we don't have to worried for this.
