Everyone’s scared & misguided, definitely trying times for all. Praying we get through this & can love one another again. I miss seeing humans, on the bus, at work, at school.

Pray for all.

People are still saying this

I’m of the opinion that there could’ve been more diverse inclusion in their clinical trials, and we would’ve avoided this Norway situation, as well as have pre-emptively calmed the qualms about pregnant women, children and many allergic individuals

However, desperate times called for some desperate measures. I think there’s a difference between skipping steps and not painting a complete picture, and this vaccine process appears to be the latter

If you don’t get cooked by an allergic reaction, I really don’t see what you could get f***ed up from. There’s that one doctor that had the blood issue triggered from this, but he’s the only case I’ve heard of tbh

We obv don’t have years of evidence of what this could do to you, but clinical trials took place last year and no one’s RNA has killed them yet from what I’ve heard

And I’ve spent a TON of time looking into this s*** before my own vaccine tmrw

128,000 people in Israel have been given the Pfizer vaccine and 20 have been infected since. What's that, a 99.99% effective rate?

Finally ca opening

Something is coming. Soon.

Yeah it’s exemplary so far

I didn’t post it bc I felt like it’s more important to see how it fared against different strains and over time. I’d just like to see if it can hold up over a few months

I personally feel like if it can give a half year of lockdown defense, then you can really get the spread down in America

Got the second dose today 😎

Got it

No reaction after about 20-25 mins!

my nurse is hot

Man we deadass got some crackheads rioting (see: protesting) because of a curfew here. like EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED EITHER WAY

Pfizer Inc. will be able to supply the U.S. with 200 million Covid-19 vaccine doses by the end of May, two months sooner than previously expected, according to its top executive.

Chief Executive Officer Albert Bourla said Tuesday that the d***maker and its partner, BioNTech SE, will be able to deliver the doses to the U.S. well before an earlier July 31 deadline due to a change in the vaccine’s label that allows health-care providers to extract an additional dose from each vial.

The six-dose-per-vial count became effective on Monday and applies to supply contracts going forward, according to a Pfizer representative.

In the U.S., Pfizer and BioNTech will deliver 120 million doses in the first quarter, 20 million more than initially promised, Bourla said in an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at the Year Ahead Summit, held virtually this year.

Bourla added that Pfizer and BioNTech would get more doses to the European Union before the end of the second quarter. The companies’ vaccine regimen requires two doses to provide full protection from symptomatic cases of Covid-19.

New York-based Pfizer has supplied governments with 36 combinations of commercially available needles and syringes to be able to extract the last dose from the vials, Bourla said. The d*** giant had known its vials contained up to six vaccine doses, he added, noting that at the outset of the year, it had to generate data to garner approvals for its use from government authorities around the world.

The change in Pfizer’s timeline comes amid heightened anxiety over the sluggish pace of the vaccine rollout and concern over a limited supply of doses. Bourla said that the U.S. immunization campaign had been particularly slow in its first few weeks, though he expects the pace of administered doses to improve.

Grandpa and my aunt got the jab!!

NL?

Finally

Yep

Are the vaccine's able to fight off the new strains?

Moderna says yes to both UK and South African strains

Pfizer says yes to UK strain, not certain on the South African strain but they're working to find that out

abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/biden-announce-purchase-200m-doses-pfizer-moderna-covid/story?id=75497450

-200 million more doses coming for the general population this summer
-Biden expects 600 million total doses once those are included, enough for 300 million Americans
-This figure does not include the upcoming Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which only requires one shot; 100 million doses are expected to be shipped from J&J by the end of June
-Over the next three weeks, the number of dosages sent out to the states will increase by 16% (8.6 mil to 10 mil)

That J&J vax is what's gonna finally end this s***. I think we're gonna have a great summer

The combination of their vaccine coming out later into the pandemic and being developed by a huge, well known company ought to convince more people to get vaccinated that hadn't been already. If it only needs basic refrigeration, even 80% efficacy at one dose should be enough to make it the casual, mainstream option necessary to end the pandemic once and for all.

Their stage 3 trial data will be released early next week. If all goes well, it will be approved and rolled out in March.

Made my month hearing this tbh
