Agreed! Just look at how many placebo people were experiencing various side effects in the clinical trials. I think it’s close to 30-40%. It’s all in your head!
published by Professor Dvir Aran, a biologist at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, suggests the vaccine is between 66-85 per cent effective at preventing infection and 87-96 per cent effective for preventing severe disease.
The results are not quite as strong as Pfizer’s own phase three trial results but not far off.
“Our sensitivity analysis provides an estimate for the effectiveness of the vaccine in reducing positive and severe cases”, said the authors. “While this estimate is lower than the efficacy of the [Pfizer trial] it is still substantive and provides reassurance for the vaccine efficacy”.
American in shanghai about why he took the Sinopharm vaccine.
"It was a big conversation in the office. What surprised me was that a lot more expat staff percentage-wise were willing to take it than Chinese staff. I asked [Chinese staff] why, and they’d just tell me it’s not safe yet, or they’re not sure, or it came out too quickly. But I guess for them, they don’t have to leave China, it’s pretty safe here. It’s not a risk they need to take."
"But [based on case numbers], I’d certainly rather be living in China with a vaccine shot that's 80% effective than in the U.S. with a vaccine shot that's 90% effective."
Bob Geldof and his Band Aid to Africa/Ethiopa?
I don't know if this was covered last January. Despite official denial I tend to think this was happening, although the vaccine companies are not involved. There is corruption along the distribution chain and vaccines could have been smuggled. Another is that there might be counterfeit.
