Moderna plans trial of altered COVID-19 vaccine booster to address South Africa variant

Moderna said on Monday it plans to start clinical trials of an altered booster version of its COVID-19 vaccine aimed at the South African variant after tests showed its authorized vaccine may produce a diminished antibody response.



It will also test an additional booster shot of its authorized vaccine in trials to see if it boosts antibody reaction against the South Africa variant. The current regimen is for two shots four weeks apart.



The company said in a press release that it was being cautious and that the two-dose regimen of the vaccine was still expected to be protective against the South African and other variants detected to date.



The company said the vaccine did not see any impact from the U.K. variant - which has been shown to be more transmissible - in the tests.



The company said it plans to publish data from its tests against the South African and U.K. variants on the website bioRxiv.

So, a third injection?

Not necessarily. To their credit they are simply making sure it works on variants.



We may all need boosters and / or variant-altereds over time  .. these are things they don't know today but can only  learn from experience over time

Lockdowns forever?



Vaccinated People May Still Spread CCP Virus: UK Medical Officer



People who have received two doses of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine may still spread the virus to others, a senior British medical officer has warned.



Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, England's deputy chief medical officer, said on Jan. 24 that "we do not yet know the impact of the vaccine on transmission of the virus."



"So even after you have had both doses of the vaccine you may still give COVID-19 to someone else and the chains of transmission will then continue," he wrote in the Sunday Telegraph.



Therefore, he urged the millions of Britons who have already been vaccinated to keep following the lockdown rules.



"If you change your behaviour you could still be spreading the virus, keeping the number of cases high and putting others at risk who also need their vaccine but are further down the queue."

Key word is "may" .. It's too soon to actually know .. however, as it's a possibility we have to err on the side of "may" or "could" until they have the time needed to be sure one way or the other

It has to be soon...there were will revolutions throughout Western countries if lock downs/restrictions continue after mass vaccinations.

Canadian provinces push back vaccination plans as Pfizer deliveries grind to a halt



Ontario announced today that it was pausing COVID-19 vaccinations of long-term care staff and essential caregivers so that it can focus on giving the shots to all nursing home residents.



Several provinces have used up nearly all their vaccine supply and have been forced to push back their vaccination schedules.



Saskatchewan announced Sunday that it had exhausted all the doses it has received so far, while Quebec has used up more than 90 per cent of its supply.

TRUTH!! ^^



This whole thing from the very beginning to today is the worse example of incompetent and ineffectual leadership  I have ever witnessed



When we needed smarts and strong action we got and continue to get stupidity and weakness = certain failure



Our problems are all because he chose China  initially (unimaginably stupid) and did not make any other commitments until China told him "Get lost, little boy"  .. which was very late in the game



Now when respect is needed in the eyes of a supplier, he has none / zero .. again, it's  "Get lost, little boy"

It hasn't happened yet, almost a year into the suspension of civil liberties. But, the masses may reach a breaking point.

Canada's opposition leaders attacked the federal Liberal government's COVID-19 vaccination program today in their first encounter in the House of Commons following the winter break.



O'Toole said the Liberal government never should have partnered with the Chinese firm CanSino Biologics to develop a vaccine — a collaboration that was derailed last summer when China refused to ship vaccine samples to Canada for clinical trial testing.



After that partnership was shelved, O'Toole said, Canada then turned to procuring promising vaccine candidates from U.S. firms like Pfizer and Moderna.

The EU may not approve the Astra Zeneca vaccine for people over sixty five..



The efficacy rate could be as low as eight per cent.

If I find a restaurant or coffee shop defying provincial rules by opening, I'm going to it with some people who've also had enough of this marial law horseshit.

Most people in Ottawa will have to wait until at least August before they can expect to be inoculated against COVID-19, a timeline that depends almost solely on the supply of the vaccine..



I would imagine most of Canada will not be vaccinated until the fall.
