Moderna launches coronavirus vaccine Phase 3 trial - 30,000 US Participants

Moderna launches coronavirus vaccine Phase 3 trial
LINK
Massachusetts biotech company Moderna launched Phase 3 of its coronavirus vaccine trial on Monday.
Moderna anticipates enrolling 30,000 U.S. participants.
There's still no guarantee that the experimental vaccine, developed by the National Institutes of Health and Moderna, will really protect the participants.
The needed proof: Volunteers won’t know if they’re getting the real shot or a dummy version. After two doses, scientists will closely track which group experiences more infections as they go about their daily routines, especially in areas where the virus still is spreading unchecked.
Moderna is working with the NIH and Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority to develop its vaccine as part of Operation Warp Speed, the Trump administration's effort to pinpoint and accelerate the most effective coronavirus vaccines.
The drugmaker announced Sunday it was awarded $472 million more via BARDA to help develop its potential vaccine.
Moderna's stock surged in mid-July following positive results from the company's "Phase 1" study of its mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine candidate.

So how much Moderna stock does Fauci own?

Wouldn't this be one of the great achievements of humanity if this vaccine actually works given the speed of development?

I'm looking forward to the goalposts being moved again once a vaccine comes out.
This entire fiasco has been become so political it's hilarious.

They are given two shots, a month apart. So at the end of August, a large portion of participants will have the full dosage and the trial basically really begins then.
They will like wait about 3 months to see how things are going. After that time period, its highly likely that if it is successful, it will get at least some emergency use for a much larger population.

There's a vaccine trial underway in Monroe. I assume it's this one.

This is the one that Fauci is affiliated with.

Is this how phase 3 trials work?
It's not a "challenge" type of test?
Seems like they are putting the random in random trial here by not know if/when a participate is actually exposed to the virus.

Teachers should get it first so they can shut the frick up and go back to work.

If we are at herd status by end of year is this even necessary?
Especially for healthy people.

We don't even know if herd immunity is possible with this.
I'm hoping it is since I got it but we will see

You better hope it is, as a vaccine is part of most "herd immunity" strategies.
However, I do love how millions of years of immune system evolution has suddenly been deemed worthless by "experts" with this thing.

I think he meant that we don't know if we could naturally achieve it

if we could develop a vaccine that prevents lots of suffering and loss, why wouldn't we?
we have done it plenty of times already

You guys claim or insinuate this with every story and every company mentioned in relation to a vaccine

I think they are tying to get ahead of it. Covid, like the flu, may become a permanent fixture in life. We need to protect the people vulnerable to it - those over 60, diabetics, and certainly nursing home residents.
Most of the rest of us are probably okay for now.

These go hand in hand, but it doesn't matter what the poster meant. Natural herd immunity will likely be attained, both because of our immune systems and evolution of the virus. My point still stands that vaccines are part of herd immunity strategies.
I'm not saying a vaccine should not have been/be worked on.
I'm saying "experts" are acting as though our immune systems will never be able to handle this virus, without a vaccine.
We'll survive this, with or without a vaccine.
