No mention of Biotron or its compound anywhere including the CSIRO covid-19 website. CSIRO is all go for a vaccibe.

CSIRO BEGINS TESTING COVID-19 VACCINES
CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has commenced the first stage of testing potential vaccines for COVID-19. The testing, expected to take three months, is underway at CSIRO’s high-containment biosecurity facility, the Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL) in Geelong.
To prepare for disease outbreaks, last year CSIRO partnered with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), a global group that aims to derail epidemics by speeding up the development of vaccines.
In January, CEPIengaged CSIROto start working on the virus SARS CoV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19. In consultation with the World Health Organisation, CEPI has identified vaccine candidates fromThe University of Oxford(UK) andInovio Pharmaceuticals Inc. (US) to undergo the first pre-clinical trials at CSIRO, with further candidates likely to follow.
The latest milestone builds on CSIRO’s growing work to tackle COVID-19, which has included scaling up other potential vaccine candidates at its biologics production facility in Melbourne.

CSIRO’s COVID-19 research so far
Current rapid work on COVID-19 spans virus and vaccine:
CSIRO was the first research organisation outside of China to generate sufficient stock of the virus —using the virus strain isolated by the Doherty Institute — to enable pre-clinical studies and research on COVID-19.
CSIRO successfullyestablished a biological modelin February 2020, the first in the world to confirm ferrets react to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Researchers have quickly progressed to studying the course of infection in the animals – a crucial step in understanding if a vaccine will work.
CSIRO researchers confirmed, after studying SARS CoV-2’s genomic sequence that the virus is presently changing into a number of distinct ‘clusters’ and are now starting to look at how this may also impact on the development of a vaccine.

Once again only 2 candidates mentioned. One UK and one US. With the mention of “more candidates to follow”.

I understand when these articles are read that everyone takes from it what they will to satisfy their own views and hopes. Without regular updates from work being carried out we are all left to speculate and attempt to provide jigsaw pieces ourselves.

Today show mentioned “and one from local”.

The case is building for BIT to be that “local”.
