    Default British American Tobacco claims it has developed a CV19 vaccine made from tobacco pla

    British American Tobacco (BAT) said it can manufacture up to three million doses a week starting in June if it gets support from the UK Government.

    The unproven vaccine is currently being tested on animals. But BAT is calling on Whitehall to fast-track the vaccine through rigorous human trials which could otherwise take the best part of a year and make the June date impossible.

    BAT said it had pivoted its vast resources - the company is worth £65.5billion - to fighting the pandemic.

    The London-headquartered firm added that it would sell the tests to the Government 'at cost', meaning without making any profit.

    Tobacco firms are currently barred from doing deals with governments under World Health Organisation rules, but BAT said it planned to contact the WHO.

    .

    I think this smokes out the cynical cunts on the Left very nicely, here they are offering a vaccine by June at cost but all you get from them is cynical bullshit.


    Coronavirus breakthrough: New vaccine set for mass production in MAJOR development

    BRITISH American Tobacco (BAT) has claimed that it could have a vaccine against COVID-19 ready as early as June, in what would be a major breakthrough in the fight against the lethal virus.

    The vaccine is being developed from tobacco plants, by its US biotech subsidiary, Kentucky BioProcessing (KBP). KBP has already started pre-clinical testing and if all goes according to plan, then production of the vaccine will begin in June. The subsidiary has a track record in developing treatments for lethal viruses, having worked on a vaccine for Ebola, during the epidemic in Africa in 2014.

    The treatment, known as MB-003, protected 100 percent of non-human primates when given one hour after Ebola exposure. Up to two-thirds of animals were protected when treated 48 hours after exposure. BAT is confident that it will be able to manufacture between one and three million vaccine doses per week, once it gets the green light from relevant government agencies.

    A spokesperson said: “If testing goes well, BAT is hopeful that, with the right partners and support from government agencies, between one million and three million doses of the vaccine could be manufactured per week, beginning in June.”

    The spokesperson added: “Tobacco plants offer the potential for faster and safer vaccine development compared with conventional methods”. This is because tobacco plants cannot host pathogens which cause human disease.

    The company insisted that it will work on the vaccine on a not-for-profit basis. BAT said that it had spoken with officials from both the US Food and Drug Administration and the Department for Health and Social Care in the UK.
