Absence of structural homologies of antibody targets with protein structures normally present in humans, analogous to the still disputed induction of narcolepsia by the influenza vaccine Pandemrix due to a structural homology with the hypocretin receptor [3] I suggest exponential exposure starting with 10 healthy volunteers, testing of antibody responses and safety after 14 days; if no stoppers [lack of adequate (see points 1-3 above) antibody response, intolerable side effects] occur, the number of vaccinated people will be increased by tenfold in each subsequent step, in this case to the next cohort of 100 people. At stage 3 + (1000 + people) when primary efficacy has been established at the antibody level and safety is no issue to this point, volunteers living in countries with high infection rates should be vaccinated. ./cache/cord-340900-f2iuy9e1.txt ./txt/cord-340900-f2iuy9e1.txt
