Invested by a sudden popularity, however global and not sought after, Elisa Granato defends privacy, but reassures everyone about her condition after becoming the second absolute volunteer to test the vaccine prototype developed by the University of Oxford: "I'm fine ! ", he says through social media, adding a" so far "of prudence. On Thursday 23rd it was she, a researcher of Italian family origins raised in Germany, who inaugurated as a guinea pig on her 32nd birthday, immediately after the oncologist colleague Edward O'Neill, the first clinical phase of human experimentation of the vaccine developed by the Jenner Institute: the virology department of the Oxford university. Trials highly anticipated, and not only in the United Kingdom, in the wake of the optimism expressed by the project manager, Professor Sarah Gilbert. Among the over a thousand volunteers who offered to undergo tests, Granato - a zoology and microbiology scholar in the same prestigious university - had no hesitation in joining with enthusiasm and courage. Her first injection was even broadcast live on TV by the BBC, even if no one knows, much less the person concerned, whether the vaccine prototype or a placebo was inoculated: according to the usual protocol of this type of experimentation. "I am a scientist and I wanted to give my support to a scientific project - he told the BBC -. Personally I have a certain degree of confidence in this vaccine". Optimism also confirmed in the thread, a sort of online diary published by this morning on the Twitter profile. Also made to escape the many requests for interviews and updates on his physical condition. Hi everyone! I just wanted to say thanks for all the positive messages I have been receiving. I can't possibly reply to all of them, but rest assured they are appreciated! I am also getting tons of questions about the Oxford # COVID19 vaccine trial, so here's a little FAQ: (1/8) - Dr Elisa Granato (@Prokaryota) April 25, 2020 "I wanted to thank everyone for the positive messages I am getting - Granato wrote in English - I can't answer everyone, but I want to assure you that I really appreciated them. I'm getting tons of questions about the experiment. " Questions and curiosities about his experience, the type of vaccine used and above all his health. "I am really well - he insisted - and the Oxford team is doing a fantastic job of controlling us and supporting all the participants". The vaccine doesn't exactly contain Covid-19, there is only a small part (of its genome, ed.) Inserted in a different and non-harmful virus. This prevents it from spreading, "but it can potentially (and hopefully) activate the immune system and thus protect us from Covid-19," he explained. Oxford is using technology for this vaccine project that has already been successfully tested on other coronaviruses in the past. "I will not be intentionally infected with Covid-19, the study focuses on the production of antibodies, beyond any possible side effects (such as mild flu states), and on immune coverage in the real world in the coming months," he concluded with an eye to researcher. How to analyze itself to try to help the world.
