Dado Ruvic | Reutersshares fell more than 6% in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company said its late-stage trial for a potential coronavirus vaccine had been put on hold due to safety concerns.

"This is a routine action which has to happen whenever there is a potentially unexplained illness in one of the trials, while it is investigated, ensuring we maintain the integrity of the trials, In large trials illnesses will happen by chance but must be independently reviewed to check this carefully," the company said in a statement to CNBC.

It said it was trying to expedite the review to "minimize any potential impact on the trial timeline."This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Something about a 'new mRNA vaccine' being rushed for global deployment makes me suspicious (to each their own). Wouldn't be surprised if the 'pandemic' was to achieve this desired end result.

What levers left cabal has to intimidate businesses? Or left making money at the cost of people?

I wish we would be smarter about how we share this information. Study would be put on hold if a participant got hit by a car or caught a stomach bug. This headline feeds antivaxxer narrative.
