Washington / Fort Lauderdale / Atlanta, Jun 10 (EFE / EPA) .- (CAMERA: Michael Reynolds / Cristobal Herrera / Erik Lesser) Dozens of people have gathered Thursday in several cities in the United States to request to the Government of Joe Biden to share with the rest of the world the surplus of vaccines against covid-19, under the claim that the hoarding of doses "is immoral and dangerous."
Aaron Traywick, a biohacker and CEO of Ascendance Biomedical, took to the stage at biohacking event BDYHAX to inject himself with a herpes vaccine developed by his company in front of a live audience in Austin, Texas on Monday. Traywick acted as a volunteer for the new vaccine, as he himself has herpes. Ascendance Biomedical seek to find willing participants to test experimental treatments that have not gone through the normal route of rigorous clinical trials.
US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said on Wednesday that he expects COVID-19 vaccines to be ready soon. According to CNN, Azar said he anticipates "one or two safe and effective" vaccines by the end of the year. At least two of the six vaccines being evaluated by Pfizer and Moderna have produced promising results in trials. Azar's remarks come at a time when U.S. public health officials are "seeing a distressing trend". The number of COVID-19 cases across the country are surging with nearly 60,000 new cases per day. The United States has suffered over 8.5 million cases of the coronavirus since it began.
On Monday, US stocks soared to record highs. This came after Pfizer said its COVID-19 vaccine showed more than 90% efficacy in its phase 3 trial that enrolled 44,000 patients. Business Insider reports that both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones industrial average opened at intraday all-time highs. The development could remove pandemic significant uncertainty from the market. Airlines, restaurants, and financial sectors soared. Work-from-home stocks like Zoom, Peloton, and Netflix plummeted.
