Yeah, big plus for sure. Single shot AND can be stored in normal fridge temperature.
All the vaccines thus far have reported overall efficacy against COVID, this is the first time I've seen headlines highlighting efficacy against...
There's news that a Brazilian variant has similar ability to evade vaccines and is already causing a massive upsurge in places in Brazil that had...
Me too, for the 2nd dose too, a pretty sore arm and nothing else. My wife felt unwell for a night after the 2nd shot, but was fine the next...
Oh there are plenty who can't work for a couple days afterwards, including many of my colleagues. We expected that and staggered the shots so the...
Just a small update. My colleague is doing pretty well, though still resting at home. He was on our Zoom department meeting yesterday. Also,...
This is an odd case. I'm not aware of any condition besides an allergic reaction that can make people severely ill right after vaccination of any...
Purely anecdotal, but one of my colleagues developed a facial nerve paralysis (Bell's Palsy) shortly after getting the first Pfizer shot, which...
Well, I wouldn't go that far. We have a highly effective cure for most common strains of Hep C now, for example.
There's nothing stopping us from doing that, to the WHO or the UN in general as well as other international organizations like the IMF or the WB....
My understanding is that we're in it mostly to influence what WHO does, not the other way around.
US hospitals follow CDC guidelines, not WHO guidelines. What WHO recommends has no relevance aside from how it may influence CDC guidelines.
I don't agree with a lot of what he says, but for the VAERS search, if you set the start date before a vaccine is available, you simply won't have...
Unfortunately stuff like that is protected, like how an OBGYN who isn't comfortable with performing abortions are allowed to not to do them.
Thanks! My colleagues and I have read the data on side effects, but we were nevertheless surprised by the intensity of them once we experienced...
That's for sure! I'd like to know more about these cases. The Pfizer vaccine is definitely not like the flu shot. A lot of my colleagues have...
Thanks, and to put things visually in terms of what I was talking about, see Figure 2 on page 30. Look at how the infection rate was basically...
That's not the correct interpretation of the data. Efficacy reaches full effect (i.e. ~95%) by 12 days at the latest. The 50% rate is calculated...
I think being cautious with a new vaccine with limited data is reasonable. I think your suggestion is reasonable as well. We don't know what we...
I think we have enough data to do some cost-benefit analyses on lockdowns, and I do think we need to rethink that. It's not really scientific to...
