      "On Sunday [WHO] published a scientific brief examining the evidence surrounding BCG. It concludes that there currently is no proof the vaccine protects against the new coronavirus. 'In the absence of evidence, WHO does not recommend BCG vaccination [for] COVID-19'"

      Like the chloroquine hype that stranded lupus patients, a big concern: "BCG vaccination prevents severe forms of tuberculosis in children and diversion of local supplies may result in neonates not being vaccinated, resulting in an increase of disease and deaths from tuberculosis"

      Sadly, there have a been a lot of social media posts articulating exactly this: "Pai worries that low- and middle-income countries that use BCG may buy into the untested hype around the vaccine and assume their populations have protection that they may not have."

      Some good news is that there are 70 vaccines in the works, with 3 already in human trials. Moderna, Inovio, CanSino. For these early trials, we might just need this scattershot targeting different mechanisms — we don't know what will and won't work. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-13/who-says-70-vaccines-in-the-works-with-three-leading-candidates …

      I would caution this optimism, however. The world rolled vaccine off of the line more quickly than ever, but there will be setbacks. Some of them, I expect, will be in the NIH's chaotic oversight. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-11/coronavirus-vaccine-could-be-ready-in-six-months-times …

          With immunization missions already shuttered because of the pandemic, deferred production capacity will worsen impending outbreaks — like that of Ebola or Measles. "She cautions that it’s likely that capacity would have to be increased so as not to disrupt the original focus."

          While governments are rambling about plans to reopen their economies, they still haven't funded CEPI. "CEPI says that global funding of at least US$2 billion is needed to help develop candidate vaccines and manufacture them for trials, of which it has been promised $690 million"

          And given that POTUS has said he would defund the World Health Organization, will he do the same and cut any CEPI funding? Will he get jealous of their progress over the NIH's, or fear other countries will get a vaccine first — and deter their efforts?https://www.statnews.com/2020/04/15/whos-tedros-expressing-regret-over-trump-move-to-cut-funding-says-his-focus-on-is-saving-lives/ …
