SARS Vaccine Developed

Posted by michael on from the more-shots dept.

sbszine writes "Chinese scientists have successfully produced a SARS vaccine. In a clinical trial beginning in May, 36 volunteers were vaccinated. Most have now developed antibodies, and there have been no side effects reported. Slashdot covered the commencement of the clinical trial in an earlier story."

  1. "Volunteers"? by Paster+Of+Muppets · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So they actually got people to "volunteer" for this trial? Surely anybody who heard the (Western) news about SARS wouldn't have gone anywhere near something that stood a good chance of infecting them with it, so it begs the question (if they were "volunteers" and not "volunteered") of what has the Chinese Government released to its citizens about SARS?
