My Penis is hungry Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Chinese one has passed enough trials for other countries to start using. In a few weeks a number of countries will use it. Indonesia and 9 other countries. Injecting 1 million people so far rates as a pretty good trial in itself. Plus they are already testing in more than 12 countries. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-12-09/canada-brazil-germany-and-indonesia-prepare-to-follow-uk-vaccine/12960382 https://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/morocco-kick-off-mass-vaccination-plan-chinese-drug-74600783 Why does it need to pass UK regulations when it's ok for their own? UK used it's own regulator no doubt as did China USA has still not approved the vaccine. Neither has Germany. The two countries that developed it. https://nypost.com/2020/12/02/u-k-becomes-first-country-to-approve-covid-19-vaccine/ The ABC in Oz gave a better headline. "First UK vaccine used in the UK" So if the vaccine is from USA and German companies, why isn't it being used in USA and Germany? Seems there isn't a global standard for approval.

My Penis is hungry Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Oh, why was UK the first? Well it seems they also skipped, like China, normal approval process Why was the UK first? The vaccine was granted emergency authorization in the UK by its independent regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which has played a crucial part in the process. The MHRA began a rolling review of Pfizer and BioNTech data from October, with each "package" of data reviewed as soon as it became available. This allowed regulators to examine the data in detail before a final authorization application was submitted. According to the MHRA, a rolling review "can be used to complete the assessment of a promising medicine or vaccine during a public health emergency in the shortest time possible." This approach helped accelerate the authorization process and a formal review of all the necessary information began in the UK on November 23, leading to Wednesday's announcement.

baa99 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 Do all these vaccines require 2 doses given 3 weeks apart? I remember the Chinese COVID tests sold to some EU countries were less than 30% reliable. Is the Chinese vaccine any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm very concerned that the US is not gonna get this under control, any one who looks at the John Hopkins graphic below can see it's about to be uncontrollable, if it's not already.

zzzz Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 So far about 300k deaths in US from Covid (less than 0.1 % of population), much less than what was initially projected of 1 - 2 million. I’m willing to bet we’ll never reach a million with all the vaccines on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted December 10, 2020 Report Share Posted December 10, 2020 About 250,000 deaths were people 50 and older, per the US CDC website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
