Here are some resources:

- https://covid19vaccinetrial.co.uk/

- https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/27/world/europe/coronavirus-...

- https://www.biocentury.com/article/305063/

The NY Times story is a bit of storytelling but it's kind of fascinating how they got there.

For now I'm placing my bets on this one because they do not want royalties out of it and they're seeking deals with many companies to manufacture as much as possible (at risk, because at this point it is not known if it works).

The other promising factor is that their work is a continuation of a 10 year project to develop a coronavirus vaccine. They are just modifying it to work with sars-cov2. So it already had a lot of work out into it.
