UK to 'look carefully' at claims vaccine efficacy in Israel has dropped to 33 per cent with one dose

Britain will "look carefully" at claims that the Pfizer vaccine fails to protect as well as expected following research into the first 200,000 people given the jab in Israel, Sir Patrick Vallance has said. The first real-world data showed the first dose led to a 33 per cent reduction in cases of...

This is why you don't deviate from the clinical protocol that any pharmaceutical/treatment was used for approval. The protocols are set up to answer very specific questions, and don't offer speculative "What Ifs".

Andie Cuomo just announced it will take seven months to vaccinate the present Phase 1B based on current projections. Based on so many people having their appointments cancelled because vaccines were never distributed properly or "somehow" stock ran out before the last people scheduled that day received a vaccination, I think August September timeframe to just get through Phase 1, forget about those under age 65, is a pipedream. Will the Astra Zeneca and Johnson and Johnson vaccines yet to be approved "for emergency use" alleviate the logjam ?

Just keep in mind that the ONLY the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines use the mRNA technology. The J&J and AstraZeneca vaccines differ in that they actually use a DNA adenovirus, yes they're going to injecting a virus, an ATTENUATED virus, into the recipients.

Once injected, the treated adenovirus goes into a cell gets into the cell's nucleus to insert the DNA signal to make the COVID spike protein into host cell DNA. Then the the host cell transcribe the spike protein info into the cell's mRNA for protein synthesis out in the ribosomes.

The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines "eliminate the middleman" of the host cell nuclear steps by providing the mRNA for the cell's ribosomes to immediately start the synthesis of COVID spike protein so the immune system can kick in.

I totally agree the "no NY plan".

Yup. I'm from NY. Suffolk, actually, which has the highest infection rate in the state.

Looking that way. Be careful throwing that “P” word around on here.

Hmmmm
Silly me
I had no clue whatsoever that the state of NY had their own factory to produce enough doses to go around.

Where I work we have an unwritten policy of no complaining without providing a viable solution to correct something

So tell me, what exactly can NIY do to to increase production at their factory so all the peeps in NY that want a dose can get one??
