    1. @Joshua Foster Thats what CEO’s do. They make craploads of money off their workers efforts and keep the majority of it for themselves. That is not self made. That is greed.

    2. @Bud Fudlacker Isn’t that incredible and yet he supposedly wants to give is money away, I just don’t believe him or the other 1%, if they wanted to give it way do it already then.

    1. @RoyalCalvin Most people will need the vaccine to cause herd immunity. It isn’t about saving the individual it is about saving the high risk by reducing the possibility that they will be exposed.

    1. @Joshua Foster “Legit news article”, lol! This is from Nature Medicine one of the most respected science magazines. Read the paper, you will understand even you are not trained in the field.

    2. ​@harbin guy I read some of it. This virus was first discovered in 1960 ya different strains but I think we lucked there is a strain that has a 30% mortality rate.

    3. Researchers from Queensland university in Australia have actually found a cure and will be running trials within weeks. HIV and Anti-malaria drugs have wiped out virus in test tube. These drugs wouldn’t need FDA approval because they should already be on shelves.

    4. Will China already was using this treatment long before Australia. Don’t know why they are trying to steal the credit. You can look up their scientific studies with dates on them. The fact that China stabilized their numbers first shows us they came up with treatment first.

    5. Brad Smith: yeah that’s interesting if true. Thanks 👍 Yep, just seen an article on this dated 11th February.

    1. This is a war. This enemy is the elite. Our bosses bosses and owners owners. The market is down cause the world elites are playing us like pawns a game of chess if you understand? Its about to stalemate n or checkmate either way we all LOSE!

    2. superblonde
      Still support trump.
      Still support bernie
      Still support biden
      Still support pete buttgig
      Still support cory booker.

      All that money for candidates just to elect one person.

    3. yep, that little fact made me sick years before this pandemic was even a sparkle in Bill Gates and Rockefellers eyes…

    4. @Nicole Jessica And that 90% money of filthy rich comes from your money or hard work. From underpaid jobs, inflated prices that consumer pays in a market with cronyism and tax evasion, taking govt. for a ride. Haven’t you heard of GAFA tax imposed by France

    1. Thats not how vaccine development works, plus it has to be approved by the FDA first which will take atleast a year and a half…

    2. Wow these comments are insane people act like you cant believe in God and pray for a “drug” as yall say that could save alot of lifes..

    3. @Khalil Shariff god wont instantly cure the entire global population (neither will vaccines because of course that takes time but still lmfao),

    1. read the title, they said he spend years devising a cure for the coronavirus, but the virus is only current(2020) doesn’t make sense.

    2. @James Vandolah the novel coronavirus is a mutated strain of “coronavirus” genome which caused the pandemic. There are other coronavirus family that’s been studied for years.

    3. @James Vandolah It looks like we might need to vaccinate you, you’re making too much sense!

    1. Maria Von Borstel wow finally I’m free from my coronal virus and my sister free from herpes all thanks 💃💃🙏

    2. they should send it first to Italy, Spain, UK. then Iran, US, South Korea 🇰🇷 ect then the rest of the countries.

    1. They are looking for ways to make money off of this pandemic. All about money!

      70 years ago it was discovered during research and testing of human breast milk that monolaurin the active ingredient in breast milk strips the lipid coating off the virus preventing it from replicating

    1. If you believe in the Biblical god, he created everything – including all the deadly viruses. Your “god bless” comment doesn’t make sense.

    2. @Josef H. God didn’t create the virus..bill gates did. God allowed it to happen to see which people follow and believe what media tell them and which ones use their brains to wake up. Bill gates owns coronovirus. They sent it out themselves.

    3. No Bill Gates did not create the virus the animals were carrying it, and the way china was cooking and killing and touching the animals gave it too people.

    1. CE – I’d call that irrational rationalization. But on the other hand you just may have woken a sleeping giant with your off hand flippant remark.

    2. @JSTR I would call it satire personally. Also what in the world is irrational rationalization? The phrase itself is an oxymoron. It’s the equivalent of saying the tall short man.

  1. Everyone on the W.H.O board is guilty of murder.

    A more complete list of guilty people are those who attended the Event 201 forum.

  2. Dear lord God I humbly pray that you only know why this happened and you can have pity on mankind. Thankyou Father I love you!

    1. Sylvain Jose your butt hurt that I said the truth I’m pretty sure your one of them ppl that laughed at others wearing gloves and mask right now look at you looking dumb

  3. What utterly useless interview questions. 😖 I know middle school kids who could have run a better and more informative interview. Not one question about how effective the drugs in trial were in their animal phase, not one question about time tables on how long human trials will last and what options are available to broaden and expedite them. Not one question about how long it would take to mass produce them if/when they pass human trials. Nothing.

    We need better f*@king journalism than this, esp when it involves matters of global catastrophic import !

    -1 😏
