It was recently announced that the British government has ordered nearly 200 million doses of experimental vaccines for the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), at least one of which is set to contain a genetically engineered (GMO) variety of the novel virus. U.K. officials say that 100 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by the University of Oxford will soon be arriving to England, replete with GMO viral fragments that will be injected directly into patients.
Two other varieties of the experimental vaccine will contain other components of the virus, including one with part of its genetic code and another with an inactive version of the virus. The Oxford one, however, will be full-on GMO.
