0:00.0 | This is an issue we have been covering for a very long time that is getting more and more |
0:05.8 | press for more and more scientists, but just to refresh your memory about immune enhancement, |
0:12.4 | this is a video we played all the way back in April, I believe April 9th. |
0:16.5 | This is Dr. Peter Hotez, one of the scientists that attempted to make or has been attempting |
0:21.0 | to make a coronavirus vaccine for a very long time. |
0:24.8 | Get ready, grab your notebooks, we're going to get in the weeds on this one. |
0:28.4 | If you care to know, the high wire is where you're going to find out, this is Dr. Peter |
0:33.7 | Hotez. |
0:34.7 | One of the things that we're not hearing a lot about is the unique potential safety problem |
0:39.7 | of coronavirus vaccines. |
0:42.2 | This was first found in the early 1960s with respiratory sensitial virus vaccines. |
0:49.6 | Some of those kids who got the vaccine actually did worse and I believe there were two deaths |
0:54.1 | in the consequence of that study because what happens with certain types of respiratory |
0:58.8 | virus vaccines, you get immunized and then when you get actually exposed to the virus, you |
1:03.2 | get this kind of paradoxical immune enhancement phenomenon. |
1:10.1 | We don't entirely understand the basis of it, but we recognize that it's a real problem |
1:14.1 | for certain respiratory virus vaccines. |
1:16.4 | That killed the RSV program for decades. |
1:19.2 | Now the Gates Foundation is taking it up again. |
1:22.5 | We started developing coronavirus vaccines and our colleagues, we noticed in laboratory |
1:27.5 | animals that they started to show some of the same immunopathology that resembled what |
1:33.2 | had happened 50 years earlier. |
