... the phase 1 trial will only be looking to see if the vaccine is safe, not even to prove it works, ..." -- Eyewitness News

So they need guinea pigs for testing its SAFETY in this phase. Any heroic volunteers? LOL

@joythemonkey Probably people who are already on the verge of death and desperate to try whatever options they've got ... I.e. people with lethal cancer.

@MrOceanPenguin Thanks. I don't think vaccines are used on the ones already have the diseases. Flu patients can not take the flu vaccines, right?

They need healthy people to test their new product to see if it's safe. What if it's unsafe? Then that would be too late. The test objects' immune system has already been compromised. :S

[MrOceanPenguin]

@joythemonkey I thought that giving them the vaccines would hinder the spread of the cancer? Oh well ... :-)

[joythemonkey]

@MrOceanPenguin You got it! :)

Fiddling with our immune system is very dangerous. The best defense is to have a healthy live style and try your best to avoid anything that could cause damages to your immune system. We have a lot to learn. ;)

What a wonderful country the United States is.

Scientists from all over the world come here and work with native scientists to develop technologies that benefit people around the world.

I am in awe. The U.S. is indeed the world in microcosm.

WE WILL LIVE FOREVER!!! ALL HAIL THE SINGULARITY!!!

I don't see them mentioning lab test results. Are they going to use human as guinea pigs? O_O
