Covid-19 Vaccine news

Promising news on the vaccine front

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/pfizer-says-early-data-indicates-covid-19-vaccine-is-effective-1.5794899

Very early stages though. It needs peer review and more extensive testing and the FDA needs to approve it. Manufacturing and Distribution will take time. It’s a 2 dose solution and the vaccine needs to be kept refrigerated making distribution more difficult. It’ll be many months away and we still need to social distance and wear masks but it’s a good news day for us all. Well, maybe not for whitesnake1987 who’s feeling like Trump on Friday as he realizes his days are numbered

For God's sake don't let Dr. Whitesnake know about any positive scientific developments... that will completely ruin his day.

Can't we just talk about how many cases there are today? Don't forget to add hypothetical special bonus cases to the total!

Not to worry Dr. Whitesnake will be feeling better soon when Trump ultimately pulls out victory from this prematurely called election and Biden is proven to be the Al Gore of 2020... remember you heard it from our resident Paul Revere of prognosticators first!

Special bonus cases? Is that like a Snaky Tax on top of actual cases? Is that what he calls “math” or “science” baby?

Is snaky at risk of losing his #1 Troll trophy when the vaccine goes into wide distribution sometime next year

What a coincidence. Just after the election.

lol. I didn't want to be the first to say it.

It's all a fucking joke.

You’d think Trump would be tweeting up a storm on this. Just one tweet but he leads it with the stock market being up. I guess he’s probably pissed they didn’t release the news 2 weeks ago before the election when he could have taken credit for it and tried to use it to sway voters

infectious disease experts here pretty much dismissed this until they provide valid data and info

‘We don’t know what the data is,’ epidemiologist says about 90% effectiveness claim of new COVID-19 vaccine

Cautious optimism is being felt by many after American pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced on Monday that its vaccine may be 90 per cent effective at preventing COVID-19.

www.cp24.com

"we don’t know what the data is. A company saying ‘our product is 90 per cent effective,’ I don’t actually know what that means and I don’t think anyone does. We’re trying to read between the lines here,” Bogoch told CP24 Monday morning.According to Bogoch, Pfizer’s announcement likely means that the product they’re developing is ‘probably over performing based on their expectations.'"

So many mentions of the snake Baby!

... the vaccine needs to be kept refrigerated making distribution more difficult.

Not just refrigerated, but kept at minus 70 degrees Celcius or lower during storage and distribution. It can handle a few days at normal freezer or fridge temperatures before use. There are very few places, even hospitals, with bulk -70C storage capacity and virtually none in doctors' offices, pharmacies or rural areas. In less developed parts of the world, they don't exist. Other vaccines, e.g. Moderna's, can be stored at normal refrigerator temperatures. Pfizer is first with a press release, but they have huge hurdles to overcome on the distribution front.

Still, awesome news... no vax in history developed this fast... if true. And 90% effective? Suggests damn virus aint that tuff after all...

We need other vax trials 2 come thru... Pfizer-BioNTech vax = 1st World... those big fridge units not available 3rd World countries... or even remote areas of developed countires like Canada

...all I care about... return of DFK 2 spas, dammit...

Yes, it’s a problem but we can work it out. They’ll have to engage both industry and the military.

For poorer countries they might have to build freezer containers that can be loaded on C-17 and C-130 military cargo planes that once off-boarded can be loaded on trucks and that would be the mobile freezer. Our industrialized countries will need freezer trucks as well and the military to help move the doses from the production facilities to each city. In our rich industrialized countries they can engage business to build small freezers for the doctor’s office for final storage. Alternatively, they can use the freezer trucks and park them at the hospitals and arrange appointments to come and get the dosages.

Mr. Science is an anti-vaxxer... why am I not surprised?

A successful vaccine could really hamper the glee you get from your daily case count... I can totally see why that's a threat.

Interesting to see your post-pandemic plans to keep the fear porn coming 24/7...

Next up: relentless "science" posts about how the vaccine will kill everyone or leave them with debilitating life long health defects.

SYBABY, Read and learn...

A coronavirus vaccine is almost ready. But will you take it? - National | Globalnews.ca

Health experts say that public mistrust over vaccines and related resistance to getting vaccinated could pose a serious challenge for curbing COVID-19.

Other vax trials, w solutions not requiring fridges = 3rd World solution

But... this one (Pfzr-BNTch) works 4 us rich countries... we go 2 hospitals / larger clinics 4 shots...

Nope, haven’t noticed because he’s on ignore.
