US Medical School Unveils Potential Vaccine [VIDEO]

CBS Pittsburgh reports:

The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine is unveiling a possible vaccine for the Coronavirus pandemic that has spread across the world. Doctors unveiled the vaccine at a news conference this morning.

According to Pitt researchers, it is “delivered through a fingertip-sized patch of microscopic needles.” They say, it “produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities thought to be sufficient for neutralizing the virus.”

A study about the potential vaccine appears in the Lancet’s EBioMedicine, and is the first peer-reviewed paper describing a candidate vaccine for COVID-19. Click here to see and read the report. Pitt says they started laying the groundwork for a vaccine during earlier coronavirus epidemics. And the development of this particular vaccine started in January.

All of the usual cautions about potential breakthroughs apply, of course.
