  • UK to Test Vaccines on Volunteers Deliberately Infected with Covid-19
    Coronavirus treatment UK to test vaccines on volunteers deliberately infected with Covid-19 ‘Human challenge trials’ intended to accelerate vaccine development programmes A clinic run by hVivo has been earmarked for the initial challenge trials © Chris Dawes/hVIVO Clive Cookson in London 3 HOURS AGO London is to host the world’s first Covid-19 human challenge trials — in which healthy volunteers are deliberately infected with coronavirus to assess the effectiveness of experimental vaccines. The UK government-funded studies are expected to begin in January at a secure quarantine facility in east London, according to several people involved in the project, which will be announced next week. The researchers, who did not want to comment publicly ahead of the launch, said the trials would play a vital role in narrowing the large field of promising Covid-19 vaccines likely to move into clinical testing early next year. Volunteers will be inoculated with a vaccine and a month or so later receive a “challenge” dose of Sars-Cov-2, the virus that causes Covid-19, under controlled conditions. About 2,000 potential volunteers have signed up for challenge studies in the UK through the US-based advocacy group 1Day Sooner, which campaigns for Covid-19 infection trials and has enlisted 37,000 people worldwide. Traditional clinical trials need tens of thousands of participants and researchers would struggle to attract enough for multiple vaccine studies. Challenge trials have a long history dating back to 1796, when the vaccine pioneer Edward Jenner inoculated eight-year-old James Phipps with live cowpox virus. More recently, they have been instrumental in developing vaccines and treatments for typhoid, cholera and malaria and in understanding how the immune system responds to flu and other viruses.

  • Smallpox: a Primer
    Smallpox: A Primer Lieutenant Colonel Brenda J. McEleney, USAF US Air Force Counterproliferation Center 9 Future Warfare Series No. 9 CHAPTER 6 Smallpox: A Primer Brenda J. McEleney Smallpox, is a virus that plagued humanity for millennia. It was the first and only disease ever intentionally eradicated from the face of this planet, a scourge defeated in a remarkable, never-before-attempted campaign of generosity and cooperation by the nations of the world. Its eradication was a triumphant symbol of science and dogged persistence winning over nature. Moreover, its eradication was a gift of man to all mankind. Yet, is it possible that the same hand of man, that once rid the scourge of smallpox from the world, will be used to unleash this terror again on its unprotected citizens? This chapter, by providing a thorough review of the history, epidemiology, and current risks associated with this dreaded disease, addresses that question and its implications for the American public. Origins of Smallpox Smallpox has been described as one of the great scourges of mankind.1 Every corner of the world has felt its grip and known its devastation. Historians speculate that smallpox first appeared around 10,000 B.C. in the agricultural settlements in northeastern Africa. From there, it probably spread to India via Egyptian merchants. There is evidence smallpox is at least 3,000 years old. It was known in China as early as 1122 B.C. Its scars have been found on the mummy of Pharaoh Ramses V, who died in 1157 B.C., as well as on other mummies from the 18th and 20th Egyptian dynasties.2,3 141 Smallpox: A Primer The first known smallpox epidemic was recorded in 1350 B.C.

Like its deadly cousin, cowpox also produced painful blisters, yet doctors had not made a connection between the two diseases. After extensive research, Jenner discovered that what she said was true—milkmaids exposed to a common strain of cowpox almost never contracted smallpox. Jenner’s supervising physicians took little interest in his findings. Then, in 1796, he injected a young boy named James Phipps with tissue taken from a cowpox blister on pervasive (pEr-vAPsGv) adj.

  • What Is the Nature of Science?
    “Everything is a part of every other thing, now and forever”” The Lieutenant by Kate Grenville The word is derived from the Latin term scientia, meaning “knowledge”. It’s a process of arriving at an understanding of a question or a problem . Science began before recorded history, when people first saw patterns in nature. 2 The Ancient Greeks were natural philosophers (like Aristotle) and they used “thinking only” to explain the world. “Philosophy” means the love of wisdom. Natural philosophers didn’t test their ideas, they relied on their thinking skills. 3 Began in the 1600’s with Galileo. He conducted experiments and collected evidence. He was the first “modern scientist” to base his work on testable facts. Galileo and Frances Bacon are considered to be the founders of what is now called “The Scientific Method”. 4 Up through the 20th century, one of the most serious diseases of mankind was smallpox. One of out every 10 children born in France and Sweden died of smallpox. The only known “cure” was to contract the disease and recover. Some inoculated themselves with fluid and pus from the sick, hoping to contract a mild case and survive. A British physician named Edward Jenner observed that dairymaids living in his hometown often contracted cowpox, a nonlethal disease with similar symptoms to smallpox. He decided to intentionally infect a young boy with cowpox, then expose him to . smallpox. (1796) Immunity was successfully conferred to the boy. 6 A different virus was eventually discovered for use in smallpox vaccinations. Produced much milder symptoms. Smallpox was declared eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1980.

Through A Psychological Lens Darkly: Interpreting Current Reactions to the Pandemic Abstract As the global pandemic of COVID-19 expands, it is worthwhile to understand some of the features of past pandemics and the ways in which current behaviors replicate previous societal dysfunctions during times of disease crisis. Pandemics: A Very Short Introduction by Christian W. McMillen offers an excellent overview of plagues and pandemics throughout history, including smallpox, malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, and Influenza, and serves as a jumping-off point for this paper’s discussion of current reactions to COVID-19. This paper looks at similarities between societal responses to our current pandemic and past reactions to plagues and pandemics as viewed through a psychological lens. The world’s lack of preparedness for the Covid-19 pandemic, despite ample warnings, is interpreted as a combination of denial and magical thinking. Plague as hoax and punishment are viewed as examples of flight behavior. The rebellion against the current pandemic and increased belief in pseudoscience are interpreted as fight behavior.
