Dr. Guillen said during a recent television interview that the drug, called CIGB 2020, is undergoing trials at the Luis Diaz hospital in Havana with volunteer patients suspected of being carriers of the disease.

According to Dr. Guillen there are 41 vaccine projects around the world and only 5 have started their first studies in patients.

He stressed that this current project will take some time develop: “This is a future project that will allow, in a long-term control of the disease, if there is a re-emergence, having a specific vaccine.”

    There are lies, damn lies and vaccined which work by giving an infection in the hope that the body will produce antibodies. May these evil bastards rot in hell. In India vaccines have killed hundreds of children and young girls.

    Cuba is a leading world power in terms of health and education. Their health and education systems are second to none. Cuba is well known for its altruism, to all nations throughout the world. This victim of US unrelenting aggression, despite its own numerous challenges, always extend a hand of assistance in times of crises. CUBA, a true friend to all nations!

      It looks like you have not only been infected with Corona but also with that lethal red fever. I don’t know what’s more infectious anymore, I really don’t! I is really very simple, a friend of Skerrits just CAN NOT be a friend of mine.

      Cuba is such a nice place that they have to force their citizens to stay in the country. Meanwhile the devil USA is where everybody wants to get into. Really makes you think.
