the first clinical trials to find a
corona virus vaccine have begun at a
research facility in Seattle a total of
45 men and women have volunteered to be
injected and all of America is thankful
for their bravery and basically becoming
human guinea pigs era lisa guerrero
spoke with one man who is participating
in the trial meet the human guinea pig
his name is Neil browning and he's now
known as patient number two he received
the experimental coronavirus vaccine
yesterday along with Jennifer Haller
patient number one I spoke with Neil and
his fiancee Nicole Hoffman about his
daring decision Neil what compelled you
to volunteer for this experimental
vaccine honestly I felt like if there's
something I can do to help the greater
good of humanity on this planet
I should probably step up and do it Neil
is a network engineer outside Seattle
and shares three children with Nicole I
was actually really excited to have
somebody so close to me be a part of
this the kids are super proud Neil says
after he signed up he was surprised to
learn this was the first trial for the
vaccine so you didn't know that you were
gonna be essentially a human guinea pig
I definitely knew that this was a first
for this specific trial I didn't know it
was the first of pretty much any doing
this kind of research tell me how you're
feeling right now this morning when I
woke up it felt pretty good there was a
very slight amount of soreness initially
when I started moving around after being
asleep all night but that went away he's
required to take his temperature daily
and keep a log of how he's feeling the
vaccine does not actually contain the
corona virus this will cause my body to
produce proteins like what you would
find in the virus so that my body can
quickly recognize them and attack them
at a time when a lot of people are
feeling worried and anxious you and the
other volunteers are truly a beacon of
hope thank you
you
