Oso planning to go pro
Clever, but not sure if i would take a shot in the arm from 2 cats walking around in a snowstorm.

All this being said, if approved by the FDA with same protocols as before, would take this thing tomorrow if it was available to me.
Know it’s just a press release, but from the people I read and have trusted online, J&J results (if backed up by data), is good, but not great news. Think the key % some experts I’ve read is 85% effective against severe cases.All this being said, if approved by the FDA with same protocols as before, would take this thing tomorrow if it was available to me.
I wish the writing/coverage would pivot to also highlight the prevention of severe cases. I believe a read that with the SA variant, Novavax still has a high prevention of severe COVID.
But Butantan stressed that the vaccine is 78% effective in preventing mild cases that needed treatment and 100% effective in staving off moderate to serious cases.
85% Effective Overall in Preventing Severe Disease and Demonstrated Complete Protection Against COVID-19 related Hospitalization and Death as of Day 28
I think it's really good news. Single shot, easier storage, no cases reported after 49 days.
But, the best use of this vaccine is actually going to be in developing countries, where the easier storage is a huge deal, and where history shows compliance on multi-shot vaccines is exceedingly poor.
Yes, and he has been roundly criticized in another thread for it. Welcome to the party, pal.
so nice to see lunch pail joe getting the vaccine to the gitmo "miscreants" before most of our level 1, 2 and even 3 CITIZENS get it are we out of our collective minds? get the damn thing to our teachers so we can justify their paychecks at least and get our kids back in school. gitmo should be the least of our worrieshttps://thehill.com/policy/defense/536431-guantanamo-bay-prisoners-to-be-offered-coronavirus-vaccines
Did I hear this correctly? J&J says that while their vaccine only prevents 66%, no one who has taken their vaccine has died of COVID.If accurate, an interesting standard. You still may get it, but it won't kill you. Actually, I can see that being the one in developing nations and being given to kids.
It will be good in developing countries where the single-shot regimen and easy storage are huge issues, but I don't see it helping much here.
Disagree - there are still big hurdles (transport/storage) using just Pfizer & Moderna. To vaccinate everyone in the US we're gonna' need the 100M doses we agreed to buy from J&J.
