Germany is preparing for that case, too.

Automatic translation:
http://www...e-gesundheitsminister-101.html

[...]
A total of 60 locations can be assumed nationwide. The delivery of the vaccination doses is only possible at a limited number of locations in each federal state with a view to storage and transport, according to the decision. Suitable locations are to be named by the federal states by November 10th.

One of the reasons for this is that some of the vaccines that are currently being developed will probably have to be transported and stored frozen at minus 70 degrees. For this purpose, appropriate ultra-low freezers would have to be procured.

Everywhere is - that can. The parameters will have been known for a long time and planned for. The shame is this is a vaccine that works best for the first world with good transport, infrastructure etc.

And even then there will likely be significant wastage as it comes in large batches with dilution needed. Logistically, it's a faff. Particularly if you want to vaccinate the housebound/shielding, small care homes, etc. You can work around it of course: just adds cost and complexity.

Yup, depending on what average means.

If they roll out to offer fifties, health and social care workers, and those with specific risk factors then I think that could potentially be done by spring.

It was leaked that the UK was going to start in December.

Of course all dependent on phase 3 trials.

N.b. vaccine may only suppress symptoms but you may still get and transmit the disease; I think that's still being assessed. Hence focus on those exposed to highest viral loads and by risk factor, of which age remains the biggest.

Yeah, health care workers will likely be served first and then people in the high risk categories.

We'll see when the two-month point is reached if there are any health issues. ADE is a real concern here, but regardless, the 90% value is amazing. Realistically, I was hoping for 60% or so.

So lots more to do and getting more people to see the data will be important, of course. But yeah, the 90% number is very encouraging and means whatever vaccine(s) we do get are likely to be quite effective.

And this happens with all administrations. Yes, it's an issue in politics, but it's a pervasive issue. They helped make vaccine development less risky in terms of research funding for several companies and let them get to work. That's a good thing and it's something the Trump group should get credit for. About the only thing, but it's still something.

Seb -

Pfizer has taken $2 billion from the administration for production and distribution. How curious that the company left that little fact out when it was publicly disavowing any connection to OWS.

But then again, this is the same company that waited until a week AFTER the election to publish this news just to fuck Trump over. So its not surprising to see the TDS in effect here.

And even if Pfizer isn't on the accelerator program, the resources provided to other pharmaceutical companies were valuable contributions. You can't discount those as "bad bets" - its not like Johnson and Johnson or AstraZeneca are incompetent at this sort of thing.

The US didn't develop Pfizer. Biontec is German (and the IP comes from a turkish immigrant of the kind you want to have shot at the border). Pfizer is just providing manufacturing.

Yes, that'swhat I understood, but the trials don't occur in the manufacturing plant: the cold chain is the same in both cases. There's no real evidence that effectiveness will be lower in operation. Wastage may be higher, but that's not the same thing. If you get a dose, it is likely ot be just as effectie as if you got it in the trial.

I can think of tons of things that will go wrong with a two stage delivery drug in the millions that would not go wrong in clinical trials for thousands.

So can I. But being involved in planning and operationalizing the mass vaccination of a large (55m) OECD country program to mass vaccinate the population using the Pfizer vaccine as one of the several approved vaccines, there are very robust systems in place to track cold chains (this isn't the first drug to require temperature controls).

Clinical conditions are exacting. If the drug goes in your arm, it will have maintained control chain. If there's the slightest chance could chain has not been maintained, it goes in the "bin" as wastage.

What you will see is high wastage, not lower effecacy.

"But the big one is how many people getting the first dose, will get the second at the right time?"

It does not really need to be as potent. Though I have to say, the 95% is based on 5 people getting sick.

The press releases (I don't even think we can term it preliminary findings) may not be correct in the end.

"A special project [is launched] in the name of 'national security'. At first, it is believed to be a search for biological weapons and it is pursued regardless of its cost. However, the true goal of the project is power, complete and total hegemonic domination. The project, however, ends violently...but the efforts of those involved are not in vain, for a new ability to wage war is born from the blood of one of their victims.

Imagine a virus - the most terrifying virus you can, and then imagine that you and you alone have the cure. But if your ultimate goal is power, how best to use such a weapon?

It is at this point in our story that along comes a spider. He is a man seemingly without a conscience; for whom the ends always justify the means, and it is he who suggests that their target should not be an enemy of the country but rather the country itself...

Several hundred die within the first few weeks. Until at last the true goal comes into view. Before the crisis, no one would have predicted the outcome of the elections. No one. But after the election, lo and behold, a miracle. Some believed that it was the work of God himself, but it was a pharmaceutical company controlled by certain party members made them all obscenely rich. But the true genius of the plan was the fear.

A year later, several extremists are tried, found guilty, and executed while a memorial is built to canonize their victims. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government...the rest, as they say, is history."

What may be happening is that if the first priming dose is too high, the adenovirus vector provokes an immune response rather than the corona-virus spike protein it carries so that the second dose is then less effective.

All in all, the astrazenica results are the only ones to be peer reviewed, and the methodology of swabbing asymptomatic people regularly means that the figures are more robust.

And if you can halve the first dose to get 90% efficacy then vaccine is not only cheaper, but supply is 50% greater.

70% is a classic Sam figure. The mean of a bimodal distribution with two peaks at 60% and 90% correlated with a control variable that is ignored.

Classic samstistics: crash numbers together without any sense of their meaning until you get a figure.

What you call excuses the rest of the world calls "understanding".

"One dosing regimen (n=2,741) showed vaccine efficacy of 90% when AZD1222 was given as a half dose, followed by a full dose at least one month apart, and another dosing regimen (n=8,895) showed 62% efficacy when given as two full doses at least one month apart. The combined analysis from both dosing regimens (n=11,636) resulted in an average efficacy of 70%. All results were statistically significant (p<=0.0001). More data will continue to accumulate and additional analysis will be conducted, refining the efficacy reading and establishing the duration of protection."

Naturally, Sam think that stockbrokers are more knowledgeable than scientists.

The reality is that those buying and selling stock are looking at the 70% figure and not understanding the meaning.

Like you Sam. Fluffy studies types.

AstraZeneca stock: -3% relative to sp500 baseline.

Underwealming results, even compared with the low expectations set for lesser nations.

People with their own money in the game work harder(in this case do more research) to protect it.

This is why capitalism wins, sebs lose, and why the stock market is a pretty good first-look.

"Thank you america for saving us yet again"
