First Person Gets Experimental Coronavirus Vaccine

    U.S. researchers gave the first shots in a first test of an experimental coronavirus vaccine Monday, leading off a worldwide hunt for protection even as the pandemic surges.

    With careful jabs in the arms of four healthy volunteers, scientists at the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute in Seattle began an anxiously awaited first-stage study of a potential COVID-19 vaccine developed in record time after the new virus exploded out of China and fanned out across the globe.

    "We're team coronavirus now," Kaiser Permanente study leader Dr. Lisa Jackson said on the eve of the experiment. "Everyone wants to do what they can in this emergency."

    The Associated Press observed as the study's first participant, an operations manager at a small tech company, received the injection in an exam room.

    "We all feel so helpless. This is an amazing opportunity for me to do something," Jennifer Haller, 43, of Seattle said before getting vaccinated. Her two teenagers "think it's cool" that she's taking part in the study. After the injection, she left the exam room with a big smile: ''I'm feeling great."

    Three others were next in line for a test that will ultimately give 45 volunteers two doses, a month apart.

    Neal Browning, 46, of Bothell Washington, is a Microsoft network engineer who says his young daughters are proud he volunteered.

    "Every parent wants their children to look up to them," he said But he's told them not to brag to their friends. "It's other people, too. It's hot just Dad out there."

    Monday's milestone marked just the beginning of a series of studies in people needed to prove whether the shots are safe and could work. Even if the research goes well a vaccine would not be available for widespread use for 12 to 18 months, said Dr. Anthony Fauci of the U.S. National Institutes of Health.

    At a news conference, U.S. President Donald Trump praised how quickly the research had progressed Fauci noted that 65 days have passed since Chinese scientists shared the virus' genetic sequence. He said he believed that was a record for developing a vaccine to test.

    This vaccine candidate, code-named mRNA-1273, was developed by the NIH and Massachusetts-based biotechnology company Moderna Inc. There are no chance participants could get infected because the shots do not contain the coronavirus itself.

    It's not the only potential vaccine in the pipeline. Dozens of research groups around the world are racing to create a vaccine against COVID-19. Another candidate, made by Inovio Pharmaceuticals, is expected to begin its safety study next month in the U.S., China, and South Korea.

    "We don't know whether this vaccine will induce an immune response or whether it will be safe. That's why we're doing a trial" Jackson stressed "It's not at the stage where it would be possible or prudent to give it to the general population."

A Canadian Tourist Has Died After Falling from a Popular Zipline Attraction in Northern Thailand

    Local media reports say a Canadian man has died after the cable of a zip line he was traveling on snapped in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand-the latest accident to befall the popular Flight of the Gibbon tourist attraction.

    According to the Bangkok Post, the man was identified as 25-year-old. Spencer Charles, who was vacationing in Thailand.

    Local officials in Mae-on district told the Post that the accident happened late on Saturday morning when a cable was reportedly disconnected shortly after Charles was released from the start of the zip line, causing him to fall more than 300 feet to the creek below.

    The year before, an American woman and a Chinese woman, crashed into each other while riding the zip line and were hospitalized.

    According to a Post report of 2017, the husband of the Chinese woman claimed in a statement to a Thai court that there was no first aid kit available on the site at the time of the accident, while the American woman suffered from brain trauma and lost vision in one eye as a result.

    The Flight of the Gibbon bills itself as "a chance to encounter wild gibbons in their natural habitat" by ziplining through "the ancient Thai rainforest." It says it has "the highest international safety standards"; land "fully trained staff" it calls "Sky Rangers."

    It was founded in 2007 by New Zealander David Allardice, according to its website, and operates zip line attractions in Chiang Mai and in the Thai capital Bangkok.

    The company has accepted full responsibility for the accident, said an official cited by the Post, and an investigation is underway.
