alsemanche 97,799 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 "A vaccine against Covid-19 is in sight, with the announcement of the first interim results in large-scale trials showing the Pfizer/BioNTech candidate is 90% effective, according to the manufacturers, whose analysis shows a much better performance than most experts had hoped for. The high percentage of those protected makes the findings compelling. Regulators have said they would approve a vaccine that is just 50% effective – protecting half those who get it. The company says there have been no serious side-effects."

alsemanche 97,799 Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Just now, Damon said: is 90% enough tho? The regulators will approve a vaccine that is 50% effective for now because it would reduce the pandemic by a LOT, so 90% is more than great. Vaccines are never 100% effective.

VasilisVas 5,213 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Let’s hope. I’m so over this pandemic. I’ve never had a flu vaccine, so I don’t think I’d get this one either, but hopefully it’s safe and effective for the people who want it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peroxide555 587 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 This is amazing news. Hopefully by the middle of next year we can try and get back to having a somewhat semi-normal society. Distribution and "who gets it first" is going to be SUCH a political nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say you're over this pandemic then refuse to get a vaccine that helps end this pandemic. Get vaccinated, it's good for you and everyone around you (and the planet) Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
