One day after a similar US announcement . for the "Corona" virus
The People's Republic of China announced today, Tuesday, the first test of the Corona virus, according to official media.
According to a report in the People's Daily of the Communist Party, China authorized clinical trials on the first vaccine it developed to fight the emerging corona.
The report also added that the research team is led by Chen Wai of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences in China.
This comes hours after US President Donald Trump announced that "a vaccine against Corona is still in its clinical stages and the results are promising."
He added: "We will try to get rid of the Corona virus by the eighth month of this year," noting that "Corona may continue until July or August."
Yesterday, researchers from the Kaiser Research Center in Washington began experimenting with 45 people, giving them two doses for two months.
"We are the Corona Virus Team now. Everyone wants to do what they can in this emergency situation," said Dr. Lisa Jackson, who oversees those tests
The director of the American National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fawcci, noted that these tests "are the beginning of a series of studies and research, which, if the researchers go, will be available in a period of 12-18 months." A US official had earlier told the Associated Press that the first test dose would be revealed as a possible vaccine for Corona.
The official added that the first participants in the clinical trial will receive a trial vaccine
A US official said earlier to the Associated Press that the first dose of this announcement will be revealed on Monday, at a time when the Chinese government renewed its accusation to the United States of America that it is the main source of the "new corona virus" and the first cause of its spread in most countries of the world, and through new facts available Beijing has demonstrated that Washington deliberately spread the virus to China through CIA agents
