Fauci Says Zika Vaccine Coming by 2018

Director of the National Institutes for Health Anthony Fauci, MD announced this week that a Zika vaccine could be rushed to market as early as 2018. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has already launched two phase 1 Zika vaccine trials this year, including a genetically engineered vaccine. “I’m confident we’ll get a Zika vaccine, but it’s not going to be before 2018,” said Dr. Fauci in an Infectious News Disease report.1

The experimental DNA-based Zika vaccine, VRC 319. contains genes that code proteins of the Zika virus. Researchers are developing genetically engineered vaccines to produce not only antibodies but also a cell mediated immune response that provides stronger and longer lasting immunity. Phase 1 VRC 319 trials will include 80 healthy volunteers vaccinated at different intervals and safety results are expected by the end of December.2 Depending upon the results, NIAID officials have plans to initiate a phase 2 clinical trial of the VRC319 vaccine in countries where Zika is endemic in 2017.  

According to Fauci, the reason that nobody got infected with Zika during the Olympics was because it was winter but that Brazil will experience summer in January-February 2017 and “if they get another big outbreak, and we test the vaccine, we can potentially prove that it works by the middle of 2018.” By August 2016, there had been more than 6,400 Zika cases reported in the U.S. and its territories.

A second vaccine is the inactivated ZPIV vaccine, which uses the same technology as was used to develop a vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis. The ZPIV vaccine has been tested in animals and is being tested in humans by researchers at NIAID and Walter Reed Army Institute (WRAIR). That study is scheduled to be completed by fall 2018.

There are other researchers and companies racing to be the first to get a Zika vaccine licensed and on the market in the next two years. A genetically engineered FLS-5700 DNA vaccine is being developed by Inovio Phamaceuticals in partnership with researchers at academic institutions in the U.S. and Canada. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 26 other experimental Zika vaccines are being developed. They include a live virus Zika vaccine that was created at NIAID and one that uses a genetically engineered vesicular stomatitis virus that served as the basis for an experimental Ebola vaccine.

  1. I would suggest Jon Rappoports article “New vaccines will permanently alter human DNA – Why is the government so maniacal about injecting vaccines? Of May 17, 2016.

  2. An experimental, genetically engineered DNA based vaccine, and, it’s going to be “RUSHED” to market? This little experiment will end up being worse than the polio or small pox vaccines they first experimented on children with.

  3. Unbelievable! Our own government plotting how many of us they can kill. Do they really think they can continue to make their immoral lucre with such audacity!

  4. Why are soldiers the test subjects? They should be last in line. Prisoners and violent offenders should be the test subjects and only by way of voluntary program participation. Seeking further guidance from NVIC regarding if this particular vaccine is necessary or not. Tiny head babies!?!? That’s a nightmare. If our 5 year old gets a mosquito bite, will her baby 20 years down the line be at risk? Is there a half life to the term of infection within the human body? What is the exposure vs actual symptom ratio? What is the birth defect ratio? Is there a holistic alternative for assured prevention? Is there a natural or herbal compound which can cleanse or deflect the infection without pharmaceutical intervention? Questions that need answered.

  5. The “threat” and associated zika “nightmare” hysteria will be most covered and promoted by the main stream news media as soon as the vaccine is ready. Until then, be prepared to ignore the coming hysteria.

    News reports will be opinion, in the guise of news. “News” coverage on TV will be with video clips produced by the manufacturers themselves, and pushed on the public as if it were news.

    News media will create hysteria to drive vaccine sales. Hysteria will push government lawmakers to buy the vaccines (appropriate funds) and distribute them through government programs, lest the lawmakers (scared of not being re-elected) be criticized for not taking action by activists who want free shots.

    When you watch the news, take the time to notice when they are telling you opinion. It is mostly opinion on the news these days- with very little in the way of facts, or news. Prepare for the hysteria in advance of their planned media blitz which will coincide with when the vaccines are being distributed and ready for the consumer.
