their press release stated 'in each case measured from 7 days after the second dose.'. 162 cases from the placebo group, 8 cases from the vaccinated group.
Only 7 days. Give it more time for a more reliable result...
where did you see that? The 'prime boost' system needs the second jab. The first jab primes the immune system, the second jab brings the immune response to protective level.
to make it tolerable, the number of covid patients in hospitals needs to be under 10,000-15,000.
Hospital admissions must be under 1,000 a day, new cases under 10,000 a day at the peak of the next wave.
Do the maths.
We need 70%+ reduction in cases.
the currently approved vaccines are designed according to the 'prime boost' system. The second jab boosts the antibodies by 6-12 times according to the Israeli reports.
why do you say that? People know that our hospitals have twice as many covid patients (38,000) as at the peak of the first wave, 4,000 on ventilators.
And that the next wave will likely overwhelm the NHS.
The only way to cope is to reduce Covid to less than 50% of the current level.
you should leave the Iraq war to rest.
those traditional Labour voters still harking at it after so many years are the reason why Labour still trailing behind the tories.
maybe it's fake news, maybe not.
As I have already made the remark that because AZ uses an adenovirus as a vector, it could well be that our immune system reacts to it and reduces its efficacy.
That may explain why AZ recommends a longer time lapse between the two jabs, 4 to 12 weeks, the AZ...
they have to take a calculated risk, in case the virus mutates to a more resistant form, which seems to be borne out at the moment by the Brazilian variant.
The problem is how fast we can vaccinate.
There will always be a percentage x% of those vaccinated still getting covid bad. In them, the...
May be it's just an overshoot.
The situation should improve in a week or two.
Still, if the virus mutates to an more and more infectious, it would overcome our ability to vaccinate. A terrifying prospect.

The EU may NOT approve AZ vaccine for the elderly.
