In 1992, Ralph Baric at University of North Carolina, altered a pathogen affecting the gut and lungs, and mixed it with a chimera to make it infect the heart, causing cardiomyopathy. In 2000, Pfizer patented its first spike protein vaccine. The COVID shots were 19 years in the making by the time they were rolled out.

The Trump administration’s “Manhattan project” for a COVID-19 vaccine has topped its biggest award given only two weeks ago to Novavax, Inc with its latest grant of $2.1 billion to pharmaceutical giant, GlaxoSmithKline, and partner Sanofi Pasteur to “speed up clinical development and manufacturing” of its recombinant vaccine candidate for the novel coronavirus.
By the Children’s Health Defense Team Among the 100 or so global players now working on experimental Covid-19 vaccines, most of the entities touted as frontrunners are obscure biotechnology and nanotechnology firms. Despite their focus on razzle-dazzle “next-generation” technologies that private foundations, the U.S. government and the military apparently find alluring, few of these companies have any prior experience successfully bringing vaccines to market.
