Coronavirus vaccine from UQ and CSL abandoned after HIV response which scientists say was 'unexpected'
The UQ vaccine's molecular clamp technology uses two fragments of a protein found in HIV that were used to hold together the key part of the SARS-Cov-2 virus, so the immune system could learn to recognise it.
"The last 24 hours have been particularly difficult for the team," Professor Paul Young, the head of the UQ's vaccine team, said.
"We're devastated. The last 11 months we've been living and breathing this particular project. It's challenging times.
"But that's science."

Anyway, prepare your ass to get injected with some unknown bullshit. Lets stop the virus together!
