Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

[broadsword]

Wasn't Moderna supposed to be the most promising?

The woman shouting and screaming is amplifying the spreading of the virus 100 times more.

If one doesn't feel comfortable wearing a mask, she/he should avoid taking public transportation. In this case just throw her off the train and it's done! This also show how the virus spreads so fast in Western countries. The people there just don't cooperate.

If I remember correctly, Moderna was viewed with a huge amount of suspicion while Pfizer was supposed to be the most promising one.

As of now they both equally suck

According to CNN in last Dec:

Both Pfizer and Moderna are more or less equal in effectiveness. If you can believe the American press. Both are mRNA vaccines. But the biggest difference is storage temperature. Pfizer' vaccine needs - 70degC deep freeze temperatures. While Moderna's vaccine can be stored in a regular freezer.

Moderna had no successful vaccine prior to this. That's why there is suspicions about their vaccines.

Regardless, only time will tell if both Pfizer and Monderna vaccines are effective.

This place is really biased. If you read SDF you would think the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have failed and can no longer be used.

The reality is Pfizer going full speed ahead and already showing its effectiveness:

what is the error rate for the mRNA and the lipids, and what is the percentage of mRNA don’t get wrapped in lipids in the production process and ended up in the end products? For the wrongly coded mRNA, what effects do they have?

I’ve pondered this issue before but this is the best I can come up with right now for how cells handle mRNA without stop codons.

The degradation certainly occurs even in the case of mRNAs during actual infections.

I’m not worrying about degradation. I’m worry about the error in the encoding sequence. Wrong sequence means wrong protein will get produced and may also affect the cell functions

The mRNA injected has a set sequence so we don’t expect mutations there. Downstream issues would be degradation and ribosomal mistranslation

There’s probably no blanket answers since it would also depend on the specified protein.


I would imagine a profile/study has to be done for everyone of these mRNA platforms in the future just for QC.

What are the chances of these misfolded or "error" proteins becoming prions and giving rise to Creutzfeld-jakob disease "Mad Cow disease in humans" in the future?

What's scary about prions is we won't know until years and even decades into the future when people start exhibiting symptoms.

from Clalit that was published last week reports that 14 days after receiving the first Pfizer-BioNTech shot, infection rates among 200,000 Israelis older than 60 fell 33 percent among those vaccinated compared to 200,000 from the same demographic who hadn't received a jab.

Woah shit, it seems to me like Hua Chunying isn't someone who would throw out this statement so casually:

"If the US really did care about the facts than we urge them to open up Fort Detrick and the 200 other overseas biological labs and invite WHO team there to conduct COVID-19 origin investigation."

Huh? Really?. I did not realize reality is just one tweet posting away.
Isn't simpleton just bliss?
