Thanks, Roger.   There’s something about that that just doesn’t sit well with 
me.  How do they know that the difference between the near relatives is not the 
crucial difference.  After all, deadly nightshade is a close relative of 
tomatoes.  And what does malaria have to do with it … a completely different 
sort of organism.  

 

Anyway, I like the dream.

They have a leg up because they already tested a close relative of their 
vaccine for safety.  That's the first step in clinical trials, to prove that 
you do no harm.  So they've modified that already tested vaccine for the 
current pandemic and they're ready to go directly to efficacy trials.

Hi, all, 

Can anybody explain the leg-up that Oxford group has because of their work on 
Malaria?
