Yes fleccy! Full in mRNA

@fleccy
Will take a long time to get accurate data on dosing regimens? And trials are hard to organise and expensive.

This is really interesting. Thanks for posting. Eu situation on a knife edge....
Did you know MHRA has a “Risk Analysis and Vigilance Dept”? I got email from them this morning so they working 24/7?

TR...carry on...this is not an AZN appreciation society. When facts change you change positions. Pretty soon mainland China will follow Australia, HK, Philippines....
Really appreciate everyone’s views, thanks!

@fleccy
The arrogance of the French is JAW DROPPING

Seems now EU27 going to sign up to boosters from BioNTech (1.8bn over 2022 and 2023) or maybe give Curevac a chance

Could not resist ??

Hi Spikeyj
This Reuters article explains better,maybe. Not a scientist!

@Peter_van

There is a world of difference between MRNA and BNTX so best not bracket them together!

@fleccy

Cramer is an absolute disgrace.
It is ok for commentators to prefer a vaccine with higher efficacy but
It is not ok for them to push their own positions (JNJ and Moderna). I’ve stopped watching CNBC

Spikeyj
Sorry for delay replying. I assumed all invested here knew about this problem. Picked this article at random. There is not a problem with the current vax but boosters may need to use a different vector so need to think about income moving forwards?

@Seaking1
Could be a bit of a big big problem as body rejects viral vector on 3rd dose...hence talks with Sputnik to swap vectors

Clearly big problems Serum Institute/raw materials etc.
Perhaps sp is going up because AZN going to pull back on zero profit contracts?
ANU now proposing to go with JNJ?

Does anyone here have actual production figures q1?
In Times today they requoting 3bn for 2021.
Also confirmed orderbook?
Thanks in advance

On Saturday govt admitted to 7 deaths.
4 days later it is 19 deaths
Accurate transparent reporting is clearly not a thing in UK

Extraordinary meetings scheduled for exact same time.
This is not a war!

Whole situation is horrible. Macron will not survive this!
Deep in the article you find lots of info on new production facilities coming on line in France and Poland.
Good article.

If there are millions of spare doses manufactured and donated to COVAX because no one in first world actively wants AZN it has potential to be one of biggest scandals in modern medical history.

Likely outcome is kids will simply hold off taking a vaccine until they get an mRNA offer?
