Vaccine

National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien said China is likely using espionage to try and steal U.S. coronavirus vaccine research, but he declared American scientists would develop it first.

Only half of Americans say they intend to get vaccinated against the novel coronavirus, according to a new poll.

This is the biggest vaccine challenge in history. Public health must not become a political pawn.

Survey also found most people think vaccines and treatments should not be provided to people who can afford them first.

More than 40 percent of people who weren't interested in a vaccine said they believed the inoculation was riskier than the virus.

More than 100 trials are underway to find a vaccine, but much like the crisis to date, the race for a way out of the pandemic is likely to be heavily politicized.

"When he pulls out of the cooperation of the nations of the world in creating a vaccine it hurts us," Schumer told 'Morning Joe'. "If another country comes up with that vaccine ahead of us, God bless them, but we would want to have the benefits of that."

The government has invested £47 million into the Oxford University vaccine, which has been developed in partnership with AstraZeneca.

President Trump has launched a new initiative, nicknamed "Operation Warp Speed" to find a coronavirus vaccine.

The president said America is also working to ensure there are enough syringes for the vaccine to be administered.

"Anti-vaccination has pulled in the huge population of people who ordinarily don't talk a lot online about such issues," study author Neil Johnson told Newsweek.

Republican Senators Mitt Romney and Susan Collins offered two of the most direct challenges to the Trump administration and federal government's response to the coronavirus pandemic during a virtual hearing Tuesday.

20 percent of Republicans polled said they would choose not to receive the coronavirus vaccine if one were to become available.

"The short, less than four-month timeframe in which we've been able to move from pre-clinical studies to human testing is extraordinary," Albert Bourla, chairman and CEO of Pfizer, said.

Although this may be an impressive timeline to people, Fauci noted that it's in line with what he's been saying since the beginning of this year.

Biomedical research ultimately helps protect public health, Dr. Fauci argued in explaining his support for controversial research.

1 Day Sooner says a human challenge trial could accelerate the development of a coronavirus vaccine.

Research from China identified 33 mutations of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, 19 of which were new.

Powerful computers capable of ingesting and analyzing vast amounts of raw data are helping to map, track and analyze COVID-19 as the novel coronavirus continues to spread globally.

Professor Sarah Gilbert at Oxford University is working alongside a team of researchers who are ready to move a vaccine they developed to clinical trials in two weeks.

The company said it could produce up to 3 million doses per week starting in June with backing from partners and government agencies.

Max Baucus said the hunt for a vaccine could be a "double-edged sword" if researchers are rushed for political gain.

A White House source told Newsweek that the administration was not aware of the report or the underlying information.

Our film is able to stabilize live viruses, does not require refrigeration and it can be given by mouth.

The president also repeatedly pushed pharmaceutical executives on how quickly they could create a vaccine for the illness.

"We are very worried because we have visitors from everywhere," Andre Sacristin, a Louvre employee, told The Associated Press.

Scientists around the world are working to develop a vaccine against the new coronavirus which has killed over 2,800 people.

Over 200 people have died since 2019-nCoV emerged in China late last year.

The new virus has killed over 213 people in almost 10,000 cases.

The first U.S. case of the virus has been identified in Washington state.
