I dont know what this means for safety/efficacy re-trials or how quickly the production line can be changed, but AZ already working on a tweak to the vaccine to cover mutations and will be read in 6 weeks. Additionally, the SA trial that necessitated the pause could not assess protection against severe COVID or death because the trial skewed too small and too young. Seems like an odd move by the government to shut it down based on that info.https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/08/astrazeneca-races-to-adapt-covid-vaccine-as-south-africa-halts-rollout.htmlClearly we are all getting boosters for a foreseeable amount of time....so knowing that, all i need to know to take a vaccine is that it offers some protection.PS it seems like AZ has not had a clear cut trial yet. What a failure versus some of the others.
I’ve always found Gottlieb to be pretty accurate in his assessments. It would be great if his prediction on the point where supply > demand is right. https://twitter.com/scottgottliebmd/status/1359532849553158145?s=21
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/us/houston-doctor-fired-covid-vaccine.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=HomepageThis is without a doubt the dumbest thing I've read regarding the vaccine rollout and a perfect example of bureaucratic incompetence and a DA who is a moron. Everyone agrees with following the priority groups and its pretty clear this doctor tried to do that, but given how the vaccine is distributed, there are real situations where vaccine is leftover. The vaccine comes in large vials where you get 10 or even 11 doses in each vial. Once the seal is broken, the vaccine needs to be used asap(6 hours). Anyone arguing for throwing good vaccine away fails to miss the very simple point that vaccines only work when in someone's arm. Obviously you would want that vaccine in a 1a or 1b individual, but if that's not possible for whatever reason, then anyone is better than no one. Its not about fairness or equity when the alternative is throwing away perfectly good vaccine, but being resourceful so it doesn't take double the amount of vaccine to vaccinate one person.
Just got my second Shingles vax shot, and was informed that the advice is to not get the COVID vax for two weeks. Shouldn't be an issue, unfortunately.
Yeah, dat fookin' fool only got da vaccine in motion, and in warp speed, while in office so C'mon Man Joe could be the hero and place an order, with one swift stroke of his pen. Oh, how easy, but we won't go there, hey?
Didn't Pfizer only take funds from the German version of warp speed?
Yes, and because they did not accept funds from warp speed, Trump's government refused to give them any priorities for essential reagents, and refused to give them priority for essential infrastructure/equipment, delaying production.Biden immediately undid that, use the DPA to secure reagents and equipment, so that we could likely 1/2 the time needed to vaccinate everyone.
How many of the almost 500,000 deaths are now on one incompetent fool?
For now, until the Party ushers him outta office. Doubt folks in the energy industry are thrilled with his penmanship, hey?
Yep. He managed to do one thing right in 10 months.Best President of your lifetime ai'na?
The past four days, 7.6 million doses have been administered in the US.
