COVID-19 >> New Drug Activity & VACCINE TRACKING!!

[cc]

I know that flu shots are not all that effective. This years is expected to be much better, but history is fair at best



This is mainly only because there are a gazzilin strains of flu out there



However it has been my understanding all along that Covid type virus's are a whole other animal - the chemistry has virtually no similarity with flu, no serious variations that affect any of the candidates ..  and vaccines were expected to be a true cure



Unless very high or 100, the most susceptible to damage  from it (and others too) may not change their life at all ... in fact that could be virtually forever



That said, I'll add again > "that may be just what they have been able to "prove to date" - and will improve greatly as more testing and more use proceeds"

Over ninety seems really good to me..



If twenty million Canadians get vaccinated, that means eighteen million people are immune.

But, they would have no way to know it .. all would know they may NOT be immune - It would become a roll of the dice into the unknown



Maybe anibody tests would become valuable - but after original statement, they have disappeared into the sunset



You are missing my point. I'm saying that "Unless very high or 100, the most susceptible to damage from it (and others too) may not change their life at all ... in fact that could be virtually forever"



And again, testing is still early in the game & they always try to err on the safe side - and covid is structurally  a whole other animal than flu

I guess Im not following you..



I thought you were saying the success number isn't high enough..



Are you saying the most vulnerable to the coronavirus are showing up in that one in ten who the vaccine didn't help?

[cc]

No. I am saying  the success number given so far isn't high enough for anyone even slightly vulnerable to change their life from where it is today



And then there is  Care Homes - How do they deal with it? How can anything change for them ? and for a great many outside of them ..



Antibody tests would become valuable - at least one could find if they were immune and if they were they could get back to regular life... but after original statement, Antibody tests have disappeared into the sunset





However,  I'm not yet about to take this very early on number literally

Ah, I see..



Unless the success rate of the Pzizer vaccine is almost one hundred per cent, we would need antibodies testing too.

It's only the Pfizer vaccine that's 90% effective?

[cc]

I just searched again and found nothing new on antibody testing

That's so strange.

No, not necessarily



They are the only one who has stated a % to date

Astra-Zeneca and Moderna might be close to 100% immunity.

I hope so & also hope they are simply playing it safe with that early estimate (my guess)



The problem with that one is it requires storage at -94 degrees F or  -70 C.



Most of the others are not near that cold



 Moderna for example  requires conditions at -04 degrees Fahrenheit for transport. Much easier to distribute with conventional equipment

Even at ninety per cent, and I think they are deliberately low balling that number, old Herman would take the vaccine.

Yes. I would too



And yes, I figure they HAVE TO lowball the numbers and are deliberately, possibly by a large amount



Give way better numbers later - it's win / win - Give worse numbers later it's lose / lose for them



As you know, "expectations" is everything for credibility issues

I hope so..



And even at ninety per cent, I too would get the vaccine.
