“On a global basis, we’ll be ready to supply hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine around the world by January.”
I believe the current goal if all goes well, is to end phase 3 trial on 22 Dec. And submit the findings to the FDA. I don’t know how long the FDA will take to approve, but hopefully they will light a fire under it and get it done. I believe that Britain may be the first to get it. But common sense would dictate that the manufacturers of the med be the first. We shall see. Cautiously optimistic. I’m ready to take off my mask, shoot it full of holes, soak it in gasoline, burn it and bury it in an unmarked grave.
Okay, the article says that they did have manufacturing problems that have been resolved. From what I have read, the production numbers are all over the place. Anything definitive on that front as of now?
I don’t think the vaccine will be what people hope for in terms of providing immunity and be more like a flu vaccine, on a positive note I did read it would lesson and help prevent symptoms which I guess is the most important aspect.
A couple of weeks ago I was listening to a Scientist who is doing research on the virus. He said that it is mutating very much like the flu virus. He said that if that is the case we will always be a season behind the new strains with vaccine treatments. As he sees it, we still don’t know how well the personal production of virus anti-bodies will assist in the control of a spread. I think a whole bunch of folks need to realize that we are still early in the learning phase.
Well I agree with the poster that they will be vaccines coming out soon I just don’t think they’re going to like be immunity vaccines. Maybe they will shorten the time we have the virus or the symptoms but it will not be an immunity but I hope I’m wrong.
No…the manufacturers of the meds should not be the first to get it.
The fairest and most effective way to distribute it is to get it to the high risk people first and after that distribute it by lottery as more doses become available.
