While seemingly encouraging, the central question still remains, why do we need a vaccine for a virus w 99.9 survival rate? There still has not been, to date, an effective, even partially effective vaccine for a coronavirus. This new technology, developing using genetic manipulation (RNA sequencing) is highly experimental, and will forever alter one's genetic make up. The rapidly with which this vaccine is being developed, skipping the step of important animal trials, makes anyone with any basic understanding of how vaccines are developed, genetics science, and virology, very suspicious and nervous if any vaccine is pushed out this year (former vaccine researcher). The safety issues are HUGE. Best to focus on therapeutics, protection of the vulnerable, and building healthy immune systems. Danger danger danger.

Great article - gave me some better understanding of what takes place in developing a vaccine. Wear a mask when going to the grocery store and try to keep a distance from others. Say your prayers for those working on a vaccine solution that they may be successful very soon. Behind and patience with others during this stressful time.

So calming to hear information with a Gospel perspective as well as a scientific perspective and with none of the political agenda attached. It does offer a feeling of peace and security when we approach from faith. Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much for doing this. I'm in Spain and it's very comforting to know that Heavenly Father has an "insider"! Not by chance I'm sure!!
Delia CesponJuly 12, 2020
Truly inspiring! Thank you! The divine plan of a loving Father in Heaven includes some details that we cannot easily comprehend. Let us keep our faith and be trusting. Thank you, indeed.

Thanks for a positive outlook. I don't pay attention to a lot of the news because it's conflicting and because it's so negative. I don't want to be that doom and gloom person, or have that life. This kind of article is exactly what I needed to read. Keeping a spiritual outlook is the important part of my survival.

Outstanding article. Very informative and extremely encouraging.

Approx 2 years ago the science and systems were accelerated rapidly, the Church leaders emphasized quality Sabbath day observance, deeper study in the Book of Mormon, a reverence for our Temple attendance, shortening All meetings on Sunday to spend more time with family, and the life changing development of the Come Follow Me home teaching program; God is ever near and our watchmen on the tower are listening! ❤️

I was so hoping that someone in the church would recognize that our health is our responsibility and that we should nourish it like the Word of Wisdom and the Lord recommends we do in these last days.

Rich Hutchins is a personal friend of mine and I would trust him with my life 100%. He is so close to the Spirit! I work in the Environmental Services part of the medical field and it is so rough out there! His words have brought me sure comfort with knowledge that there IS an end to the madness.

Rae Greenstreet, I agree, there have been many Drs. Using Hydroxychloroquine with great success especially when given at the beginning. No hospital stays, no ventilators, etc.
Mike MooreJuly 10, 2020
It feels like the news is full of scare tactics and hardly any optimism. Why have we not heard more about these specific details (about vaccines and treatments becoming available as early as this Fall) that offer hope in broader media outlets?

Thank you for sharing this medical and spiritual information/update. As a nurse who works in the emergency department, your information is very helpful, but even more so it is hopeful! Thank you to all who so selflessly give their time and talents to the betterment of all humankind. Easing the suffering of our fellowman is truly following in the footsteps of our Savior Jesus Christ.

great article. Thank you for doing this interview and sharing it online.
DanielleJuly 10, 2020
This was just one the best articles I’ve read in a long time. Held me very captivated at the scientific, philosophic, and spiritual level!
Rae GreenstreetJuly 10, 2020
What about hydroxychloroquine?
VirginiaJuly 10, 2020
This is so hopeful! I will keep the fasting and prayers going for this vaccine to be safe and available soon. While there has been great purpose in this particular virus, I believe the answers to stopping it are also at our disposal. And I am so grateful.
