French president of scientific counsel now saying vaccine efficacy reduced by 40% agains the south african variant. More or less in line with what you ve heard in the uk. Bad news for the world but reinforces the investment thesis for sng...

@CR1909, obviously. I presume that most people in this chat are educated enough to understand this was a hyperbole.

once we break this 175 resistance we have a free path to heaven, pretty much

was thinking about that yesterday Chippy
It would definitely make sense

in the not so odd case that p3 trials are successful and the use case for home use is confirmed, i honestly dont see 50gbp price per share being overly bullish... you could even justify a higher target if all stars align...

rise on US waking up makes me think ppl are waking up to SNG on the other side of the atlantic...

“When we see mutations like this specifically in those two regions, it’s a strong indication that the virus has managed to evade neutralizing antibodies – neutralizing antibodies are the types of antibodies that stop a virus from being able to infect a cell," Moore said.
The coronavirus was thought to be relatively stable — but nearly 100 million people have caught the virus, and each time it spreads to another person, it gets a chance to mutate.

“It creates more opportunities for the virus to learn how to be resistant to the vaccine,” Paul Bieniasz, a virologist at the Rockefeller University told CNN last week. “It’s going to be, over time, likely chipping away at vaccine efficacy, but we’re not going to fall off a cliff tomorrow.”

Such misbehavior wasn’t expected from a coronavirus, Alex Sigal, a virologist at the Africa Health Research Institute, told CNN.

“This virus really showed us it can adapt, and could be able to escape,” he said. “It just goes back to the first rule of virology: don’t underestimate your virus.”

Covid-19 vaccines might not be as effective against variant first identified in South Africa, researchers say
From CNN Health's Elizabeth Cohen

A coronavirus variant that first appeared in South Africa and has now been spotted in more than a dozen other countries might partially evade the vaccines, researchers said during a presentation Monday.

“We do now have very compelling data both from our labs and from many other labs around the world to support the fact that these mutations are problematic,” said Penny Moore, associate professor at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa.

Researchers in South Africa and elsewhere are studying whether it can evade antibodies created by the vaccines. Study results are expected within the next week or two.

The researchers are concerned because the vaccines target the spikes on top of the virus, and this variant has mutations in two different regions of the spike.

zephi, for the same reason influenza is still killing people every year despite new vaccines coming to the market constantly

did citadel send you ?

could be a hedge against their other "hospitality" shorts...
maybe a bit far stretched :D

very much agree on the nasdaq part...

activ2 sir

yes Tiptree i was just wondering if there was anything else

hey guys ive been MIA for a bit but havent sold a single share..
could any of you please explain why this activ2 news are such great news as opposed to the regular phase3 trial?
tried to read about it and from what i understand its gov supported with operation warp speed. Anything else?

These are actually not primary endpoints, apologies!

How would that be possible with primary endpoints at 60 and 90 days...

motley fool is just a joke...
i can see the share doing many different things, but not double... it will either go back to pre-covid levels, or even lower with negative p3 results, or it will rocket x5-10 from here.

your guess is as good as ours... history would tell us out of market hours i believe...

topped up 2.5k shares at 150 to round up my total shares count... easier for mental math when we reach 50gbp/share
