US Army has new COVID vaccine that works against all variants, researchers say
Poetrooper sends in that the Army has now developed a COVID vaccine. For those who trust experimental Army vaccines over experimental private sector vaccines, this could be revolutionary.
From American Military News;
The United States Army has created a revolutionary single-dose COVID-19 vaccine that researchers say will be revealed within weeks.
According to a new Defense One report on Tuesday, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research scientists are expected to announce a newly-developed vaccine that works against all variants of COVID-19, including Omicron, in addition to other SARS viruses.
The Army has reportedly been working on the vaccine since the virus first appeared nearly two years ago, receiving its first DNA sequencing of COVID-19 in early 2020. The infectious disease branch of Walter Reed determined that the vaccine must not only work against the existing virus, but all variants, too.
Dr. Kayvon Modjarrad told Defense One that Walter Reed’s Spike Ferritin Nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccine completed animal trials in early 2021 with optimistic outcomes. The first phase of human trials – finished in December – had positive results. After final review, the vaccine will still need to go through two more human trial phases.
“It’s very exciting to get to this point for our entire team and I think for the entire Army as well,” Modjarrad said.
The Army’s vaccine apparently stands apart from existing shots because it uses a soccer ball-shaped protein with 24 sides, allowing scientists to attach multiple variants of the virus.
Human trials are taking longer than anticipated because Walter Reed needed to test on individuals who had not received other vaccines or previously contracted COVID, the doctor said.
Increased vaccination rates and the appearance of the Omicron variant have added to that difficulty.
“With Omicron, there’s no way really to escape this virus. You’re not going to be able to avoid it. So I think pretty soon either the whole world will be vaccinated or have been infected,” Modjarrad added.
The Army is working to determine if the new vaccine will work for people who were already vaccinated or who have previously had COVID-19.
“We need to evaluate it in the real-world setting and try to understand how does the vaccine perform in much larger numbers of individuals who have already been vaccinated with something else initially…or already been sick,” Modjarrad said.
That last little bit has me wondering if this will even be useful. I can’t remember where Saint Fauci of COVID’s latest goalpost is on when we’re to the point of herd immunity, but we gotta be getting close if the Army researchers couldn’t find people who hadn’t been vaccinated nor exposed to the virus.
Now before our favorite seagull accuses me (again) of being anti-vax, I’m vaccinated “fully” for COVID. Have been for some time. I don’t give medical advice, but think the vaccine is a good idea for most people. I encourage everyone to talk about it with your health practitioner(s). I believe in the vaccine so much, that I’ll have a meal with, or invite someone into my house, that is unvaccinated. Something Dr. “I am the Science” Fauci isn’t willing to do.

If this were not Science, I might think the Army scientists were saying to Fauci: “Look at this, asshole.”
“Hold my beer” or “hey, y’all, watch this”– your choice.
We need a good lab subcontractor.
I remember this movie, Will Smith had to strangle his dog:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ueR0lJzIxWo&feature=youtu.be
Well, similar premise.
Don’t forget The Stand.
https://youtu.be/7zH_QMp5dak
The book was released in 1974. I read it on my lunch time at work.
It was scarier than the movie, by far.
“Mistakes were made….” -USAMRIID (incoming, probably)
Impulse (1948) Whay happened to that town?
Don’t forget the Blue State lockdown-fetishists’ favorite scene:
A wet dream for far too many of our countrymen.
(consider this ALL the shade thrown, you know who you be)
Based upon my personal experiences with the Army Medical System, I’d like to try the placebo during testing.
Here’s your daily reminder: it’s just a cold.
Now, keep calm and f**k off.
The fuck it is.
Yes. Yes it is.
How fucking stupid are you? Don’t answer that, it’s rhetorical. Rhetorical in this case means you don’t need to answer. Any answer would just put it on display. Instead just read and stop spreading ignorance or at least put a warning label on your posts saying that they are stupid and go against the best medical advice everywhere.
On the one hand stupid people like you might believe you and then not seek not treatment and die and there will be less stupid people in the world and on the other hand that is cruel and perhaps evil.
How many colds cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting (and by extension dehydration, kidney failure and death)?
How many cause shortness of breath?
The answer is zero.
A cold resolves in 3-10 days and is normally harmless in anyone other than an immuno compromised person. Covid is much, much more likely to kill you.

Feel free to go full retard after reading. It will surprise no one.
oH nOEs! ItZ A cOld!
How many colds cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting (and by extension dehydration, kidney failure and death)?
YES!
How many cause shortness of breath?
YES!
It’s been two years. I’ve know zero people that have died. ZERO. NONE. Out of the nearly 4,000 counties in the US of A there are still 40 without any “CONvAIDS” deafs.
40% of all people that get exposed will NEVER have a symptom. (other than that loss of liberty disease going around)
There has been no increase of overall deaths. (CDC Broham, YOU look it up)
There has been less than 1,000 children that have unlifed WITH “commAIDS” (this includes a bunch of kids the flu would have taken. jussayin)
Less than 100 under 30 yo have died FROM coof-19.
IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS. I/WE ARE DONE. BAD COLD AT BEST. Even a 10 fold increase in deaths wouldn’t justify this continued response. It’s seriously having drastic consequences on society.
I’ll give you this, if you’re scared YOU can stay the fuck home. But I’m the idiot… (btws, I survived the OG for real strain JAN 2020. Blow me)
Congrats, you went full retard. No surprise. Didn’t even read the article. There is no helping you.
So I guess if you don’t know anyone that died from skin cancer that doesn’t happen either. It’s all just made up stuff to you.
Stay home out of fear eh?
Again full retard. I work the streets every day as a first responder. I know personally at least a dozen people who have died from it.
So yep, full retard. Just put a warning label on your posts from now on, or I will just help you.
That wasn’t an article, more of a journal. Personally I’d call it a press hit or even a ‘facticle’, specious in many regards, but this is where we are now with Mr I-am-the-science.
Sorry but for you to have lost 12 people, that means you know roughly 1,200 people personally? And that is just someone dying WITH ConAids-1984 not FROM the coof.
Differences are distinctions.
Here’s your ‘warning’: eat me.
Full retard.
I’ve known people WITH skin cancer, they were treated and are fine… just like 100% of the people I know who have gotten ‘The Slightly-Uncommon Cold That Stoked FEAR In The Heart of 5JC’.
Honestly, do you even stats bro? It’s embarrassing for anyone with 2 year worth of data to behave like a lil bitch, imho.
Full retard.
Wait a tick, you’re trolling me. Right? This Mayo thing is hilarious, you know, other than being named after a condom mint.
“If you have signs or symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), it’s important that you contact your doctor or clinic right away for medical advice. But COVID-19, the common cold, seasonal allergies and the flu (influenza) cause many similar symptoms.”
Major lolz. THAT’S comedy gold. Honestly. They must have a whole synagogue’s worth of writers at this ‘clinic’.
“Currently, only one antiviral drug, called remdesivir, is approved to treat COVID-19.”
Again, HOW DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF?! If remdesivir (run,death is near) was APPROVED as a treatment, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given full authorization to one COVID-19 vaccine and emergency use authorization to a handful of COVID-19 vaccines.” legally COULDN’T HAPPEN! EUA only is possible IF there are NO other MEANS!!! HILARIOUS! Also, to this date there are NO approved “vaccines”, they don’t exist. ZERO. The one that has been accepted at FDA has not completed its trials and is not authorized to be sold inside the US of A.
“Some drugs may help reduce the severity of COVID-19.”
Yes, India proved that. Africa proved that. Brazil PROVED that. Unfortunately, we don’t have it here in human form. Cuts into Big Pharma’s margins. But you can get it at the feed store. It’s cheap and tastes like shitty apples. And if you listen to the MSM you’d think you’d grow a tail but I can assure you you won’t.
Full retard.
Absolutely.
At least we agree on something.
Just put a warning label on all of your posts from now on and it will be good.
You keep pretending you know what you are talking about and everything.
No.
You have internet in your virus bunker?
Extravagant!
And just so everyone is abundantly clear where I stand, I don’t care what you do to prevent yourself from getting the Cold to End All Colds (aka SARS). This guy (see link) sums up my seething contempt for the ‘medical’ ‘science’ that has been tyrannyed all the fuck of each of us. It is worth a watch.
I do have one disagreement with the Doctor, there is one item in world that is not grey: on the spectrum of Liberty.
Full retard.
Clearly you watched the video.
There is no science here, there’s barely a virus, drink water and get some exercise and you’ll be fine, pu*sy.
Full retard.
Y’all gotta excuse me while I remain absolutely skeptical as hell of this. I too have done my time serving “Uncle Sugar” and I’ve also seen more than a few reasons not to trust him!
Will this be deployed as carefully as the anthrax series of shots was? I got one at home station, got one in Kuwait , then the Army forgot all about the rest of the boosters in the series after the invasion was over.
Those were optional during my time in A-stan and thus I declined them, but come time for Kuwait they no longer were. I reluctantly took two, but lo and behold, they never issued the final one.
Natick Labs is always working on new shit. Maybe they got something.
Right next to the old Carlings Brewery on the shores of Lake Cochituate.
“Hey Mabel..Black Label”
Yeah, their inflatable sleeping mat and pizza MRE are worth their weight in doodoo.
Black Label is like Macho Grande. I will never forget Black Label. It is the worst beer I have ever drunk. After experiencing it for fifteen months in the Viet of the Nam as the only beer in many locales, I am convinced Carling paid some massive bribes to someone in DOD. When you could get it even Hamm’s was a better alternative.
Well, as the said in Good Morning Vietnam:
Black Label tastes like something used as a floor stripper.
They didn’t say they needed folks who had not been exposed to the virus for testing. They said this, from the article. “Walter Reed needed to test on individuals who had not received other vaccines or previously contracted COVID, the doctor said.”
Exposure does not mean they contracted it.
The fraction of a fraction of people that fit into that unexposed category does not exist in any meaningful amount on the planet earth.
That being said, the individuals without titre at this point probably have an underlying medical condition of the immunological variety so the injury rate for this bullshit jab will be inflated during the trail period…..
Assuming we get ‘real’ numbers this time unlike last time, I looking at you Pfuckingliars, Modrnutbags, BioEntrash, etc
Full retard.
Bless your heart, you fearful-over-nothing little child.
Full retard.
And for those who remain unvaccinated are probably the LEAST likely to line up for a human experiment… And since those who remain in the military are all supposedly vaccinated, there aren’t any left to be voluntold to participate
I think it’s funny as hell that the people they need for testing are the ones they are throwing out.
Here’s the link to the trial.
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04784767
“- Have no previously documented COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2 infection.”
“- (Must not have) received an experimental COVID-19 vaccine outside of this study or a COVID-19 vaccine that has been given Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA”
Must be between 18 and 55 and have a healthy BMI. Must be able to participate through the 181 day follow-up. The trial started in the spring. SecDef’s order that all DoD personnel get an EUA’d vax essentially eviscerated the potential recruit pool for the clinical trial. Anyone left in the US who hasn’t gotten jabbed of their own free will or by mandate, and who hasn’t had the infection, doesn’t want to get stuck and isn’t interested in being anyone’s trial. Hopefully the clinical trial coordinators have hired unicorn hunters with 50# feed bags of pixie dust.
Fauci is reveling in his midget glory hole. Just remember, people, that what goes around, comes around.
I have seen some very interesting “cures” for folks problems in the Army. Some more effective than others, but effective none the less.
I wonder if this will be one of them.
I’m surprised that their sudden snake oil cure isn’t “Drink water, take Motrin and change your socks!”.
*CORRECTION*, “…sudden snake oil panacea…”
A Proud Infidel®™ needs to do a better job of proofreading before clicking the “POST COMMENT” button!
Oh, yeah…
Commander: Today, we change socks!
Troops: Hell yeah!
Commander: You change with him, he changes with that other guy,…
“We’re from the grumbermint and are here to help.” Soooo, which is the correct, truthful statement? Sure will be glad when we get to the 15th day needed to “flatten the curve” and achieve that “herd immunity”. Who’d of thunk that the herd would be made up of sheeple.
Does that whole “research into gain of function” work for the vax the same as it did for the virus? Asking for a friend.
Horizon Corp ala Rainbow Six.
“Omicron” gives you mild symptoms with low risk of complications.
By the latest newspeak definition of “vaccine” Omicron -is- a ChiComCoof vaccine.
And as more and more folks catch Omicron variant, the other types get crowded out.
The lack of fatalities in South Africa show that nature is quietly ending the dem-panic. So far, last I checked, we have exactly one Omicron fatality here in the USA despite it now being the majority strain.
Quick! More fear porn! More Power to the Donkeycrats! Masks-4-evah! Isolate and shun! Jabs-n-jabs! And lots of subsidies for well-connected firms “saving” us.
Oh, fuck off you lying assholery mavens.
Isn’t that the normal course of virus mutation, toward greater communicability and less lethality?
Depends on the propensity to mutate. Influenza keeps changing, but most patients fall in a relatively miserable range that is dangerous to many folks. It doesn’t fade to “annoyance”.
Measles seems to stay about the same lethality. So does smallpox and polio. That may indicate that they reduced to that level over centuries and are now “stable”.
It is not the norm for an dangerous/lethal infectious virus to reduce to “harmless” or “nuisance”. But many do seem to reduce somewhat. They may follow some measure of “less is more”.
Some of that effect is from killing of those hosts who are highly vulnerable, leaving genetically resistant folks for the next wave. Our genome also changes over time. The move lethal the disease, the faster we get sifted for “resistant”.
In a way, those who decline a vaccine are providing the path for genetic adaption for natural resistance. But that also would mean “willing to accept working vaccines” is also an adaptation.
It’s a fascinating field.
Update on the one death from Omicron. The hospital where the patient was being treated, stated that the person who died was tested positive with the Omicron variant at the time of his death but they never said he died from the Omicron variant.
False reporting from CNN again.
The numbers out of Africa and UK are showing the same about this variant. She’s moving through the population like fire but the hospitalization rates are lower, effect of a over all lower case/fatality rate.
The next two weeks is going to give the US some tremendous data. Hopefully our medical overlords pullback on the stooped a bit, economically we’re teetering.
WHAT ABOUT THE MASKING??? SOCIAL DISTANCING??? LOCKDOWNS??? MY EMPIRIC DATA SHOWS THAT THEY WORK AND WILL GET US THROUGH THIS!!!
FAUCI IS MY GOD AND SCIENCE IS MY BIBLE!!!!
Huffing your own farts has caused untold damage to your brain. Seek help.
Full retard.
I’ll have you know, not full, just 98.6% ‘tarded.
At least I’m not fat like 72% of the people that have died WITH ‘rona.
You’re being lied to or have something to gain here, which is cute.
Here’s your warning: my age demo and below, the overdose increase from ‘the before time’ of 2019 to today is a higher count than ‘the worst virus ever’. Read it like this, more young people have given up on society than have died from a fucking lie that kills grandma, the obese and people with an AVERAGE 2.3 comorbid conditions.
You can have your opinion but the facts, ie the NUMBERS are clear, this is NOT about health, or society or the economy, etc. This is all about control.
Why have they been firing nurses the whole time? If I’m wrong, tell me! Let me see what you have, no bs.
Would you like some fries with your self-pity party???
You are having wayyy too much fun with this, “Commie-Tsar”
*grin*
Ah, “science”… like Bill Nye claimed:
So, Bill the fake sciencey guy is a believer in the gender fluidity and the 57 genders. That’s real science, man. This just shows what you get when a nerd with a B.S. in mechanical engineering gets jumped up to a TV personality.
TV cameras, or perhaps studio lighting, apparently has a long term cumulative “dumbing” effect.
Or, perhaps the dumb have a “moth to flame” behavior for such lighting.
I’m still thinking this is something from DuffleBlog. Twentyfour sided indeed.
