Not sure how that would work, chrisbak.

We already know that you can get covid more than once and that the vaccines do not stop you getting it or spreading it.

Not sure that everyone would get on a plane on the basis of a vaccination passport or how this proves to the country you are flying to that you don't have it or won't spread it.

Can see a recent test showing negative results being accepted.

No doubt the WHO are wanting to help but not sure how savvy scientists are outside of their labs, particularly given this recent change of stance to the required timing of vaccine dosages.

If I were going on a building site I would prefer to see a very recent negative test versus anything else.

Might just be me but I doubt it somehow and I am way past believing anything I am currently being told in the recent government briefings.

All the best.

... and makes a therapy more attractive.

Come so Avacta. Test and treat.

Looks like one vaccine dose gives a 52% coverage according to the British Medical Journal.

All this talk on the news that changing the dosage timetable sounds like complete codswallop

Happy New Year.

Is it just me? I am sure that when we were told about the first vaccine that you needed two doses three weeks apart.

Not now it would seem ...

Plenty of room for super sensitive tests and a therapy I reckon.

All the best.

There are 9 million school children in the UK, excluding universities. How many tests per week?

Not sure that your rationale is correct based on an assumed 3 million order?

All the best

Spot on, LLP.

The existing tests are clearly not good enough and very difficult to administer and no doubt painful and scary for children.

An easy to use, very accurate test, is what will get schools back.

I think I have heard of a company that could have these for the timescale indicated.

All the best.

Find it hard to believe today's press conference.

"The new vaccine is better than the first vaccine."
( That we told you was the light at the end of the tunnel).

"We don't know if the vaccines stop you transmitting the disease".

"We won't know for a few weeks how effective the new vaccine is."

Doesn't sound like Mourhino to me.

Still in tier three so better off than most.

And Boris now says IF the vaccines DO WHAT WE THINK and Van Tam says we don't know if the vaccines reduce transmission !

Bloody hell. These are our scientists?

Two valid vaccines but we do have new variants
75% of England in tier 4
50k new cases and 981 deaths
Primary schools will open but others delayed
Massively expanding our testing operation
Universities will have two rapid tests when they return
Plus some more waffle from the so called scientific experts

Here we go (in my humble opinion)

Cave Exigo

jdt, I knew you were tongue in cheek and quite rightly so in my opinion.

Way back in April, a friend of mine started a formal petition to put London in lockdown. This was no offence to Londoners. It was declined on the basis that "you couldn't identify specific areas to justify this".

Really? Since then we have had a tier system based on exactly that and London is now in tier 4 and all the surrounding areas are now in the same tier.

Bright he is not.

Once his latest approach fails (mathematically very difficult other things aside), he will go back to testing as the most sensible basis of controlling this. Hence we will see AP before thw 11th Jan and might even find out what was in sleepydave's sandwich.

Good late rally today and 120p is break out time in my uneducated opinion.

All the best.

Not sure about "good old" but guess that was tongue in cheek.
This idiot hangs on to anything he can whilst not having a clue about what to do (In my opinion).
It won't be long ( given that the "vaccines" don't stop you getting covid) before testing becomes the norm.
At that point, the best test will be in the greatest demand. That is us for those that don't know.

Each to their own view.

All the best.

Is it?

How many institutions have less than 3%? We don't know.

What is the norm in your researched opinion?

11.72% as of October.

Days is more appropriate I reckon.

Agent B,

The government have (very quietly) added the vaccines to The Vaccine Damage Payments Scheme, which has a maximum pay out of £125k.

They have indemnified producers from civil damage payments by doing this.

All the best.

In more ways than one.

Covid cases are rising quickly.
A pandemic is likely to be come an endemic.
A tier 5 is coming.
Schools can't reopen without testing.
The world is crying out for an easy to use accurate test.

In the meantime, the MMs are not wanting this share below 110p and, more importantly, above 120p. Why is that?

Cave Exigo.

For those that have been here a while, you will appreciate why I have made a small top up today and will do the same again tomorrow given the chance and my pension arriving.

All the best.

1. Testing is not over if that is why anyone bought in.
2. Cancer is certainly not over.
3. The pandemic is not over.
4. Therapies are likely to come to the fore.
5. Only the UK seems to think that temporary vaccines are the holy grail.
6. Less than 1% of the world's population live in the UK.

Will the sp get put on a roller coaster? Of course it will.

Given the full pipeline of activity at Avacta, there is plenty to focus on and there are lots of posts today from people clearly looking for an entry point and plenty who now appear to have found it.

All the best.

Like most people, I never thought I would have come across covid in my lifetime. Neither did I expect to see anyone with a much improved way of tackling cancer.

Whilst I could have done without the first one, I am extremely pleased that the second one is gaining momentum through Avacta. We have all encountered cancer in one way or another during our lives.

Have been looking again at what this company has in train and it is phenomenal when you think about it.

Further cancer opportunities (nine)
Various covid related opportunities
LFTs
BAMS
A therapy
Sewage systems
Affimer technology that has already attracted eight global partner collaborations
PrecIsion technology
A very scientically experienced board
Determined staff

As much as we are focussed on wanting to hear about all of the above as soon as possible, taking a small step back does put into perspective how far Avacta has come so far and the incredible opportunities that lie ahead.

I think we should all be wishing Alistair and his team a Merry Christmas for what they have achieved so far and all the very best for a happy and prosperous New Year (and the same to all of the regular posters on here of course).

Just off for some last bits of Christmas shopping and going to get the missus a few more shares for Christmas !

All the best.

Looks like Johnson and Johnson are the largest supplier of doxorubicin (currently)

Wonder if any of their large number of worldwide employees has passed the RNS up the line yet?

"Johnson and Johnson are an American multinational medical devices, pharmaceutical and consumer-packaged-goods company founded in 1886. ... Johnson and Johnson have more than 125,000 employees in 60 countries, with more than 5,000 people across 11 sites in the UK and Ireland."

Onwards.

From what I have read, CTA filing is to get approval for a clinical trial and IND filing takes place during a clinical trial as the European approach differs in this respect to the US approach.

Onwards.
