BREAKING NEWS ALERT
The first COVID-19 vaccine tested in the US
revved up people’s immune systems just the way scientists had hoped,
researchers reported Tuesday —
as the shots are poised to begin key final testing.
“No matter how you slice this, this is good news,” said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the US government’s top infectious disease expert.
The experimental vaccine,
developed by Fauci’s colleagues at the National Ins utes of Health and Cambridge-based Moderna Inc.,
will start its most important step around July 27:
A 30,000-person study to prove if the shots really are strong enough to protect against the coronavirus.
