CHINESE VACCINE FOR THE WORLD
- Thread starter Daniel808
- Start date
AZ vaccine is the biggest joke in the vaccine field of last year because AZ said it has better efficiency with lower dose than higher dose which is obviously wrong. This is why FDA does not approve it and ask AZ to redo phase III clinical trial.
Moreover it is the vaccine with most side effect which has been approved.
Forget that as real word data from millions of people already vaccinated in UK shows 90%+ reduction in hospitalisations and even greater reduction in deaths.
from just a single dose.
EU and USA are only waiting for real world data to confirm it works on over 55s and several EU countries will authorise it for over 55s imminently. German regulators have already publicly said they will authorise it for their elderly shortly.
When weather is getting warmmer and wammer, the R index for virus spreading will drop naturally. I do not say it does not have any effect, but it is a mixture effect of vaccine, temperature and isolation. You just do not have a basic training of science and can not understand the importance of control group to differentiate different impact factors.
FDA does not wait for the real world data, and you do not know a drug can not be authorized without a control group which the real world lacks, they simply ask AZ to redo phase III study. Both AZ and BioNtech vaccine has been approved in europe but 85% of BioNtech vaccine has been used while only 20% AZ vaccine has been used because people there know it is both low effect and high side effect though vaccine is not enough there.
Anyway，it is better have than nothing as UK, Indians and BD cannot get other vaccine. But we already know that AZ vaccine is not enough to neutralize South Africa mutant, and this mutant will mutate further to make AZ vaccine even more ineffective, so people there with AZ vaccine is highly likely to get infected again in the next winter
Control group study figures dude from real world data and a modified vaccine is in development ready by the end of the summer that is more effective against S African and other similar variants.

Cute
Yes it is. The origins of the virus must be hushed away with a blind eye so the vaccine givers look like heroes for the world. It shows the level of desperation they want to have a positive image in the eyes of the world.
