Well it is VERY promising information so no surprise. I'm just trying to point out this doesn't mean we have a vaccine available to ALL today. Still gonna take some time.

90 % effective on a 99% survival rate virus

But hey.. it’s the Democrat way to do shite that makes no sense

And the main stream media gave him shite about his claims. Fast forward 1 week and it looks like Biden is elected and now the MSM picks up on the story.

The pricks on CBS were absolutely giddy like a bunch of school girls reporting on the vaccine this morning.

Well, if its focused on an antibody response, it won't be that effective.

Need one based on a T cell response.

We still need to mask up folks. You don't want to get in a position where we dip to a .00000000001% death rate with a vaccine. Masks at home too please.

Democrats said they wouldn't take a vaccine created under Trump.

Will they hold themselves to that statement?

Its really not that rushed. It is has been in development since January, and SARS vaccines have been in development for 20 years, and this is just a variation of SARS essentially.

They've had the framework in place for a VERY long time.

Two days after the Biden "won" election this comes out. Most predictable thing I've ever seen in my life.

On 60 Minutes last night, the General responsible for the distribution of the vaccine said they are ready to go & they just need the actual vials. Unfortunately, in dismay and disgust, as he shook his head, that in a preliminary survey of 30,000 healthcare workers and doctors who would be responsible for administering the vaccine only 40% said they would take it themselves. He was very straightforward in saying what’s the point in investing billions of dollars in R&D, manpower and distribution when those giving the shot won’t take it themselves. I would be under the assumption that you would have no choice and you would have to take the vaccine just as you have no choice and you have to take the flu shot every year? Healthcare employees that is

I expect a lot of people will voice resistance to getting vaccinated, but a lot of employers are going to require it.

My prediction- annual flu vaccines will soon be pentavalent to include a coronavirus component.

Correction. Dems said they wouldn't take a vaccine if Trump said to take it but would if the doctors said it was okay to.

90 % effective on a 99% survival rate virus


The statement from Pfizer actually states this:

"After discussion with the FDA, the companies recently elected to drop the 32-case interim analysis and conduct the first interim analysis at a minimum of 62 cases. Upon the conclusion of those discussions, the evaluable case count reached 94 and the DMC performed its first analysis on all cases. The case split between vaccinated individuals and those who received the placebo indicates a vaccine efficacy rate above 90%, at 7 days after the second dose. This means that protection is achieved 28 days after the initiation of the vaccination, which consists of a 2-dose schedule. As the study continues, the final vaccine efficacy percentage may vary."

So, after only 7 days (after the second dose - you'll have to get two shots, 21 days apart), 94 out of 43,538, got COVID. 90% of those were in the placebo group (not in the statement, but what I heard reported earlier). So, 10% of the ones that got COVID were vaccinated.

But its only 7 days and I thought the COVID incubation time was up to 14 days. So, could this include people who got COVID before the second dose? Maybe the effective rate is actually higher after the second dose? Maybe it delays the onset but doesn't prevent it. So maybe it's not as effective? Anyone seen a good analysis by an epidemiologist?

Not if Dr. Emmanuel gets his way. The most vulnerable are the elderly, but they don't have much longer anyway, so (death panel) stuff.

we have the choice. They cant actually force us. However, ironically, if you dont take the flu vaccine the policy is we have to wear a mask. So policy doesnt really have teeth now, does it?
