Coronavirus vaccine news

[Knobby22]

Just want to point out this Delta variant is deadly. 2 now on ventilators. Eight patients in hospital under 35. And this is only from a small NSW breakout. (It looks to me that NSW are failing to contain it.)

NSW Health confirmed that only 13 of the new cases were in isolation prior to their positive COVID-19 test result.

Additionally, 18 of the locally acquired cases are linked to a known case, 11 are close contacts, and seven are household contacts of previously confirmed cases.

Chief health officer Kerry Chant said the myth of the virus only impacting the elderly was not true, with 14 out of the 37 hospitalised patients under the age of 55 and a further eight patients under the age of 35.

"It is a bit of a wake-up call to young people," she said.

"The Delta strain is not a mild disease. It can be mild in some but for many it can lead to hospitalisation and death."

There are currently two people in ICU on ventilators.

NSW COVID-19 'wake-up call': lockdown extended, dozens of new infections and 37 in hospital

Greater Sydney's COVID-19 lockdown is extended until July 16, as the state records 27 new locally acquired infections and Premier Gladys Berejiklian warns more restrictions may be necessary.

well, elsewhere i read that there were hardly any hospitalizations from delta in the UK

also, there might be a plausible theory out there that the vaccines wreck your immunity so you get sick from a harmless virus. people such as the mRNA inventor might have alluded to this (got to check).

I provide this brief essay for the TrialSite community because you are involved or at least interested in human subject clinical research. By way of background, please understand that I am a vaccine specialist and advocate, as well as the original inventor of the mRNA vaccine (and DNA vaccine) core platform technology. But I also have extensive training in bioethics from the University of Maryland, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and Harvard Medical School, and advanced clinical development and regulatory affairs are core competencies for me.

It gave Zerafa an excuse to not fight Tszyu.
Oh no I might get the sniffles when I go to box Tszyu. Dan Andrews has seriously brain damaged all of Victoria.

He seems to have got inside your head....must be lockdowns

Zerafa or Andrews. It's possibly the most Idiotic move ever in boxing.

Both

You know if that's the case Scomo must have base operations in your head and his holiday home in your ass.

 

[IFocus]

Haven't seen it talked about on here after you get AZ there are follow up questions every so often asking about any issues.

The data will exist some where if anyone is interested.

Getting people vaccinated. Make it easy. Make it interesting. Make it happen.

Would you like Pfizer with that? Why convenience is key in getting people vaccinated, fast

Some countries are offering the jab at big attractions, others are offering COVID vaccines in fast food car parks, all in an effort to bring the vaccine to the people and make it as easy as possible to get.

Make Pfizer some money

Astro Zeneca is a very good vaccine. We have a ton of it on hand. It is (much) cheaper than Pfizer .
We should be using it as far and as fast as possible.

The media has put AZ that much on the nose, even Scott from marketing, can't sell it.
That is one of the down sides, of public opinion, being driven by media sensationalism, it ends up with the plebs not believing anything.?

 

[Knobby22]

Don't forget I predicted lockdown Tuesday (today)! Let's see.
If she doesn't she will be a mug.

Guess who is a mug.
And the lockdown still isn't strong enough. Go quickly go hard.
NSW will be in lockdown for months.
You think they would have learnt from Victoria's mistakes.

I'm concerned. (and the rest..) This new strain is far more contagious than the earlier variants. Knocking it back into it's box seems a very formidable task given the number of people who have developed the illness and have been in the community.

Fast vaccination is the most effective response but unless the government manages to get AstoZeneca vaccine accepted by millions of people that doesn't seem possible for at least 3-4 months.

Back to thoughts and prayers...

The data is telling us that less than 70% of the population with at least one dose is not close to herd immunity.

The UK and USA still have significant spread, with the USA having a daily positive count now higher than a month ago. Meanwhile the UK, despite having a much higher proportion of their population vaccinated, has seen a progressive upward case count over the past 2 months.

Talk is now serious about the need for a third dose.

Talk is now serious about the need for a third dose.

With the characteristics of the virus and the effectiveness of the vaccine (which is pretty good), we need still need upwards of 95% vaccinated from what I have read to achieve herd immunity and really we need it worldwide. the best figure I have seen is 87%.
Even assuming the virus doesn't mutate, then to achieve herd immunity is a pipe dream.

The best we can expect is a reduction in symptoms and improvements in survival as had occurred elsewhere.

We should just open up as soon as everyone has had the chance to be vaccinated for the good of all and let the unvaccinated take their chances.
I am hoping February as this is probably the earliest Morrison can call an election and he can call it a week before the poll.

Talk is now serious about the need for a third dose

Pfizer released a confusing statement about needing a third dose but currently you are protected with the initial 2 shots.
A big up trend in the numbers is through those still unvaccinated seemingly being clumped in certain areas. Poorer areas will probably mean uptick in deaths due to health/eating habits.

As for Australia we seem to have three choices, one of those choices is on limited time. It's either: Lockdowns, Vaccination, deaths.

Lockdowns are not going to work for much longer as population has had jack of it and the economic/physiological damage is to great.

I think we will get a lot less vaccination resistance as people are over the inconvenience lockdown brings.

I think once everyone has had the chance to vaccinate the government will stop Lockdowns altogether.

Obviously contact tracing has failed as a measure against the delta strain. Unfortunately people just stopped caring.
