Today Is Happy Day of Solution for COVID-19; Mass. Biotech Co. Moderna Could Defeat Virus

Today (May 19, 2020) is perhaps the most hopeful day so far for defeating the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S., as a Massachusetts biotech company reported a promising vaccine trial, according to the Washington Times website.

Moderna, Inc, reported that the first coronavirus vaccine to be tested in humans appears to be safe and to stimulate an immune response.

Some patients who were vaccinated developed antibodies at levels mirroring recovered COVID-19 patients.

"We're quite pleased with the breadth of the immune response so far," said Dr. Stephen Hoge, Moderna's president.
