Your 2 Cents: Coronavirus Vaccines Being Tested On Humans

Moderna stock skyrocketed on word that they might be onto a vaccine for COVID-19, even though it's only been tested on 8 people. I said I'm not surprised with the world's greatest minds ganging up on the problem, but most of you said not so fast.

Moderna stock skyrocketed on word that they might be onto a vaccine for COVID-19, even though it's only been tested on 8 people.

And other pharmaceutical companies are into human testing of their own vaccines.

I said I'm not surprised with the world's greatest minds ganging up on the problem, but most of you said not so fast.

Elizabeth first: "You have to have a larger sample size to determine if immune effect is significant."

Kelly from OKC: "I am against it until it can go through the proper testing. It appears safe they say, but is it really?"

But James wrote: "Go for it. Seems we take way too long to test and evaluate medicine and other things."

Misty from Tuttle said: "I don't see how it's possible to already have a vaccine that is safe just 4 or 6 months after the pandemic started. It's definitely a no for my family!"

Russ said: "It is my understanding that an effective vaccine has never been developed for this type of virus. Not sure I have any faith that they have come up with one so quickly for this."

Tori in Moore said: "I'm definitely pro-immunization but as a nurse, I'd be very hesitant to take one developed so quickly."

Finally, Debbie from Butler: "I'm so glad! I believe in vaccinations and I'll be first in line to take it!"

I'm Kelly Ogle and that's YOUR 2 Cents.
