By sheer numbers, Portland doesn't come close to the 400,000+ person Sturgis superspreader event, which was followed by sharp outbreaks in both N (150/M -> 350/M) and S (100/M -> 400/M) Dakota.

What's going on with the AstraZeneca/ Oxford vaccine trial ...


Covid-19 vaccine trial participant had serious neurological symptoms, but could be discharged today, AstraZeneca CEO says

The participant who triggered a global shutdown of AstraZeneca’s Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trials was a woman in the United Kingdom who experienced neurological symptoms consistent with a rare but serious spinal inflammatory disorder called transverse myelitis, the drug maker’s chief executive, Pascal Soriot, said during a private conference call with investors on Wednesday morning.

“To have a clinical hold, as has been placed on AstraZeneca as of yesterday, because of a single serious adverse event is not at all unprecedented,” Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, told a Senate panel on Wednesday. “This certainly happens in any large-scale trial where you have tens of thousands of people invested in taking part, some of them may get ill and you always have to try to figure out: Is that because of the vaccine, or were they going to get that illness anyway?”

The vaccine — known as AZD1222 — uses an adenovirus that carries a gene for one of the proteins in SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. The adenovirus is designed to induce the immune system to generate a protective response against SARS-2. The platform has not been used in an approved vaccine, but has been tested in experimental vaccines against other viruses, including the Ebola virus.

‘Everyone was left to guess what went wrong’: An open letter to AstraZeneca’s CEO on transparency

When the news broke late Tuesday that a participant in your late-stage Covid-19 vaccine trial experienced a serious reaction, the company would only confirm the trial was put on hold in order to review safety data due to a “potentially unexplained illness.”

On Wednesday morning, another statement was issued with essentially the same information, and very little specifics.

That same morning, though, you held a conference call with JP Morgan clients, who learned more details than had been disclosed to the public.

Oxford has been working on a coronavirus vaccine as a modified adenovirus for quite some time. The group was able to quickly modify its existing work when the Chinese published the RNA sequence early on, so they had a head start on the groundwork.

lol... yeah.

Good luck with those vaccines. I'll let you guys try them for about 20 years and sit back and watch the side effects before that needle is getting anywhere close to me.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Fortunately, I'm informed enough and smart enough that I don't have to make blanket statements about the vaccine. I'll be able to decide when the time comes from where things stand at the time, in my locale, and the info on the particular vaccine available.

I wanted to get Lasik surgery 20 years ago. It's a good thing I didn't.

You keep telling yourself that you're smart. Have fun being a "well informed" guinea pig. I'm not injecting shit that they rushed out the door for the Karens.

The Russian vaccine is also based on adenovirus, and I believe they were the first to develop the Ebola vaccine.

I know nothing about the Russian vaccine. But I'm always willing to learn something new!

100% false equivalence.

Go fuck yourself if you're trying to tell everyone that you don't have any bad and unhealthy habits.

I enjoy smoking. I don't particularly enjoy the idea of injecting a Chinese/Russian/US collaboration approved by Bill Gates and the CDC into my veins.

I know exactly what I'm inhaling.
