The Nes Ziona Biological Institute has published a 26-page document detailing the renewal, he claims, of a vaccine it is developing against the corona virus (covid-19). In the document, the Scientific Community Institute reported positive results the vaccine has shown in animal studies.

At the Biological Institute, a non-pathogenic (non-disease-causing) virus has developed in humans. The researchers replaced his outer protein with spike, one of the corona virus proteins.

The researchers note that vaccine efficacy was obtained when the body weight reduction was observed in the hamster group receiving one dose, compared with a control group. In addition, the damage caused to the lungs of the vaccine-receiving hamsters was significantly smaller compared to the hamster's health impairment in the control group. Therefore, the researchers conclude, there is optimism in the possibility of developing a safe and effective vaccine based on the results of the study.
