Ron Aldo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Pfizer vaccine 90% effective in phase III trials. Have asked my Irish vaccines expert for clarification on what this means Think it means that it was uneffective in 10% of cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Pfizer vaccine 90% effective in phase III trials. Have asked my Irish vaccines expert for clarification on what this means Wording is interesting 90% effective in TREATING Covid is how it's being reported so sounds more like a treatment for those with the virus rather than an immunisation. That might just be a news outlet reporting issue though. ETA obviously significant enough for the Clown troop to call a live tv address at 5.00 tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Might seem a silly question but does this mean that there definitely will be a vaccine then? We've all been wondering what the end game to this is and what the plan would be in the event of a vaccine not being found. Does this put those thoughts to bed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hi All https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-54873105 Covid vaccine: First vaccine offers 90% protection The first coronavirus vaccine can prevent more than 90% of people from getting Covid-19, a preliminary analysis shows. The developers - Pfizer and BioNTech - described it as a "great day for science and humanity". Their vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised. The companies plan to apply for emergency approval to use the vaccine by the end of the month. A vaccine - alongside better treatments - is seen as the best way of getting out of the restrictions that have been imposed on all our lives. There are around a dozen in the final stages of testing, but this is the first to show any results. It uses a completely experimental approach - that involves injecting part of the virus's genetic code - in order to train the immune system. Two doses, three weeks apart, are needed. The trials - in US, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa and Turkey - show 90% protection is achieved seven days after the second dose. Pfizer believes it will be able to supply 50 million doses by the end of this year, and around 1.3 billion by the end of 2021. However, there are logistical challenges as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C. There are also questions about how long immunity lasts. Dr Albert Bourla, the chairman of Pfizer, said: "We are a significant step closer to providing people around the world with a much-needed breakthrough to help bring an end to this global health crisis." Prof Ugur Sahin, one of the founders of BioNTech, described the results as a "milestone". The UK has already ordered 30m doses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspected the SFA would provide obstacles, and so it's proved. Wonder why Ross County had fans on Friday yet Elgin couldn’t on Saturday. I also would like to know where the magic 300 number comes from in allowing fans in? At Ross County they were all in the one stand, so you could easily triple that number and still have them “socially distanced” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G51 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Fantastic news. There are obvious logistical challenges with this - keeping it at -80 degrees and having to give folk two doses three weeks apart are obviously tough. However, they're not challenges that cannot be overcome. Still think AstraZeneca/Oxford, if it works, might prove to be the best bet though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
