notice mRNA vaccines (pfizer, moderna) have higher efficacy than adenoviral vector vaccines (AZN/Oxford, Novavax, J&J)

--

novavax and j&j phase 3 trials are conducted months later compared to pfizer and moderna

wala pa UK, brazil, south african variants noon so they don't have data

now novavax and j&J have real world data coz their test subjects were infected with new variants

less effective nga ang mga bakuna sa south african variant

What is the efficacy of the Novavax vaccine?

In an interim analysis of a phase 3 clinical trial conducted in the UK, the vaccine has shown 89% efficacy, with 27% of participants in the trial – almost 4,000 people – older than 65. That trial suggested 95.6% efficacy against the original coronavirus and 85.6% efficacy against the more recent UK variant.

A less precise stage 2 trial conducted in South Africa with 4,400 volunteers, in which 90% of cases were caused by the new variant, showed 60% efficacy in preventing mild, moderate and severe coronavirus among those without HIV. Novavax said it would immediately begin to develop a new vaccine aimed specifically at the South African variant. Prof Paul Heath, the principal investigator of the UK arm of the Novavax vaccine trials, said he believed a 60% efficacy in that setting was high enough to consider using the jab, while other work continued.

Heath said the Novavax vaccine had not been tested against the Brazil variant, but said the technology behind the vaccine was very adaptable.

The overall efficacy is 66%, but 72% in the US. That disguises some very important and exciting results. First, the vaccine had 85% efficacy against severe disease anywhere in the world – which includes South Africa where almost all participants had the variant form of the virus. That is hugely reassuring for the vaccine effort. Second, nobody in the trials who was given the vaccine was admitted to hospital or died – so 100% efficacy against the worst outcomes.

About a third of the trial participants were over 60, and the results showed they were just as well protected as the younger groups, which is important because older people are most at risk. There were also no differences between people from different ethnic groups.

meron parin protection against south african variant pero reduced protection

same din J&J

sorry correction

hindi adenoviral vector vaccine ang Novavax

first, they use an insect virus (baculovirus) containing genetic material to make SARSCOV2 spike

they infect moth cells with the virus which then produce the spikes

then they harvest the spikes and put them in lipid nanoparticles

it's a protein subunit vaccine

i'm a nerd hehe

Dentist with heart condition who received Pfizer shot: Seek medical advice before COVID-19 vaccination

I am watching the effect of vaccination in Israel and Singapore. If the numbers go down there and a semblance of normality returns, then this certainly augurs well for the world.

Indonesia reports record 14,518 new coronavirus cases - CNA

Indonesia reported 14,518 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday (Jan 30), a record daily increase that brought its total number of cases to just over 1.06 million.

The country's COVID-19 taskforce also reported 210 deaths, increasing the death toll from the pandemic so far to 29,728.

Nyahahaha. But this is one race against the WUHAN CHINA VIRUS that I hope we lose and land at the bottom.

Wishful thinking

[Monseratto]

Snyder and her colleagues are concerned that damage to the brain — either directly from the virus or from other consequences of the disease, like lack of oxygen — during the course of Covid-19 could have enduring impacts. A major concern is the possibility that Covid-19 could lead to cognitive decline or increased risk for Alzheimer's disease and other dementia.

Desperate ang Indonesia kaya tinanggap ang sinovac, 50% is better than zero.

ang taas kasi ng accuracy ng sa red cross na saliva, even higher than RT PCR

i am curious.
if the RT PCR is the gold standard,
how can the saliva test be more accurate? how can it get a positive test, when the PCR gold standard says it's negative?
is it possible, the saliva test is turning out an occasional false positive?

a highly decorated russian diplomat attempted to secretly get a pfizer vaccine shot to avoid using the much ballyhooed homegrown sputnik v anti-covid19 serum

A top Russian diplomat has admitted getting the Pfizer vaccine, shunning the Sputnik V shot developed by his own country.

Pro-Kremlin media have have for months sought to sully the reputation of non-Russian vaccines like Pfizer's.

The outlets are trying to create the image that "Russia fights the pandemic more effectively than Western democracies, boosting the credibility of a Russian vaccine and undermining that of other [Western] vaccines," according to the European Union-funded EUvsDisinfo campaign.

Several state-media outlets even labelled the Pfizer vaccine "the shot of death," EUvsDisinfo said.

In the US pala there is already a Covid Home kit.
you do the swab yourself with explicit instructions on how to do the swab and how to carefully package the specimen.
They then drop it off in the laboratory/hospital for reading and wait 1-2 days for results.

WHO team, on tightly controlled China mission, visits hospital

"The WHO, which has sought to manage expectations for the mission, said on Friday that team members would be limited to visits organised by their Chinese hosts and would not have any contact with community members, due to health restrictions."

So much for an "investigation" on the CHINA WUHAN VIRUS

Looking more like a junket, a group tour
