As researchers at Imperial College London begin round 2 of testing for the Covid-19 vaccine, the head of the project has revealed that the UK government urged him to do the jab at home, so that the United States would not try to build up an injection made there.
Professor Robin Shattock, director of the Imperial Coronavirus Vaccine Project, revealed that his researchers had “deliberate policy“From doing his experimental jab in the UK”something [they] They were encouraged by the UK government to ensure that there is capacity in the UK for manufacturing.“
In an interview Friday with Sky News, he hinted that officials were concerned that a vaccine made in the US might be out of stock by the Trump administration, and that it would not even remain for the makers of the vaccine.

“One of the things that sounds alarming is the nationalism of wanting to buy things“He explained, referring to the United States’ fight to buy all supplies of Remdesivir, an expensive anti-coronavirus medication made by the American pharmaceutical company Gilead that has been advertised as a lifesaver despite tepid clinical trials.
Shattock dismissed the highly publicized report, released earlier this week by UK intelligence along with the United States and Canada, that “Russian hackers“They infiltrated entities involved in vaccine research. Instead, they urged countries to unite and launch a vaccine.”as fast as possible at an affordable price“To avoid the issue of predatory entities that take advantage of high costs and shortages of supplies to sell”fake vaccine“Beat up desperate people.
The report, which insisted it was “very likely“That Russia was behind the piracy attacks in the coronavirus vaccine investigation, could not explain why Moscow, whose own vaccine is already in phase 3 clinical trials, would be investigating the United Kingdom and United States research. , whose vaccine projects are in phase 1 or 2 at best.
Imperial College was the source of the now infamous Covid-19 model that predicted 500,000 deaths in the UK, triggering the disastrous closure measures that have led many countries to an economic death spiral. The computer code used in the model was later found to be inconsistent, while the responsible teacher, Neil Ferguson, was caught violating his own lockdown to deal with his lover.
Ferguson has a long history of severe overestimation of pandemic death tolls: his over-inflated FMD predictions led to a terrible slaughter of British cattle from which the industry never really recovered; however, like Anthony Fauci in the US, credibility among government officials who know even less about science.

The institute’s vaccine is based on RNA and is designed to activate receptor cells to produce protein segments of coronavirus, which theoretically stimulate an immune response that protects against the actual virus. No RNA vaccine has hit the market, although Imperial is not the only one in development.
US pharmaceutical company Moderna is working on its own RNA vaccine, with preliminary results showing that it stimulates antibodies, but all high-dose jab recipients experienced serious side effects. Imperial’s own vaccine has had no safety concerns, according to Shattock.
