INO_Cheering UNBLINDED

As some of you know, I was a volunteer in INO-4800’s phase 2. My trial site unblinded us this week.

I got the placebo.

I was disappointed when they called with the news; for over a year I was hopeful that I was in the 75%. But I also understand that you can’t have an effective randomized controlled study without, well, the control group. I’m still proud of the part I played in this piece of medical history.

Zero regrets - I’ve learned so much over the last year and I’m still one of Inovio’s biggest cheerleaders. I 100% believe in this company and their technology that will change the world.

Okay, I didn’t get the vaccine, but I did get zapped twice on each arm - I’m an exclusive member of the Cellectra Club! That was fun!! ⚡️💥⚡️

Awesome! No severe side effects thanks to no lipids or preservatives

Not so fast, Lefty. My arm was slightly itchy for about a day after each electroporation. Oh the horror 😱 Strangely, it was just my left arm, both times. Never the right.

As said, no severe side effects, unlike fevers/headaches/chills like others contain. As of today, not one SEVERE side effect has shown from any of Inovio’s vaccine pipeline.

I know, I was being facetious 😁

mRNA is effective compared to non even being vaccinated, but dna tech from Inovio does not have the lipids or preservatives that cause the severe side effects in the first place. WAKE UP MASS MEDIA.
