Fauci: We discovered neutralizing antibodies
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci said on Friday that Moderna went into its phase 1 trial very fast with three doses given to volunteers, and it didn’t have the time to see all the results immediately.
He stated the data showed that the vaccine induced so-called “neutralizing antibodies, as opposed to just binding antibodies, and neutralizing antibodies are antibodies that actually can block the virus,” Fauci said adding that “the results were even better than we thought.
He also noted that “they did it at a moderate dose of the vaccine.”
