“It just came to our attention then. Tumas Beinort is vaccinated in the UK with an experimental SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus vaccine. The second voluntary Oxford vaccine in the world. I hope Tumas is feeling well. Trials are successful. The battle for Britain and for humanity continues. Thank you, Tuma, for your dedication! “he wrote.

After this post, T. Beinort, who became a volunteer, also commented, clarifying the professor’s statement: “I want to clarify that you are not the second volunteer in the world. This is a Phase 2/3 study. Phase 1 has already occurred, there have been no significant side effects, and the vaccine has formed an immune response in B and T cells and so far in short-term memory. Phase 2/3 involves more center. I was second in this center, not second in the world. A similar formulation of the oxford vaccine was also tested against MERS and Ebola. Before Ebola is EMA approved. The current study is blind, I don’t know if I received SARS-CoV-2 or a control vaccine against meningitis. “
