September 19, 20214 yr It's cute how quick the goal posts moved from death to "harm" in the very next sentence. This is why trumpbots are the dumbest cult on the planet.

If they put it in front, they aren’t real doctors and they probably failed out of bio and now work as a custodian in a lab so they are just pretending.

September 19, 20214 yr Avoiding masks is not in the bible, but taking care of others, is. A five year old gets it. What is your problem?

Most of the deaths are concentrated in the older population where the vaccination rate is much higher than the general population rate. Well, I might venture this guy knows he's being disingenuous. You're showing yourself again to be the moron by sharing it.

That's estimated to be within a week or so. Once 80% of double doses are in play (months away) then people will be allowed to have visitors in their homes and stores can reopen. That is still months away. Police state.

September 20, 20214 yr Small drips of new info, still waiting on the application though. There were 2,268 participants ages 5 to 11 in the trial, which, while it still followed a two-dose regimen, used a lesser dose than the amount given to people ages 12 and older, for the "safety, tolerability and immunogenicity" of younger children. "In participants 5 to 11 years of age, the vaccine was safe, well-tolerated and showed robust neutralizing antibody responses," the companies said in a news release. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-safe-effective-kids-ages/story?id=80119249 Unfortunately, the FDA or its advisory committee might say the trial enrollment was less than ideal and thus characterize it as underpowered. Let's hope that's not the case, otherwise we might lose a couple months or more here.

Let's hope that's not the case, otherwise we might lose a couple months or more here. My biggest criticism of the FDA throughout this is that they've been far too conservative. I really think you're going to see a push for a reduction in the regulatory framework to get a bit more aggressive, especially during a time when the risk of delaying because of some knit-picking is worse than not getting it perfect the first go around. Regulatory agencies like this are incentivized to be cautious to a fault. Regulators don't typically get blamed when they err heavily to the side of caution, even if too much caution results in loss of life. But they will get blamed if there's a perception that they fast tracked a drug or procedure that ends up resulting in even a small number of side-effects that weren't caught but can be publicized. The whole incentive structure is out of whack because we as a people tend to overreact to small risks that come with something new while downplaying bigger risks of the status quo.

To me, this is a make or break decision for them. I'm giving them 6 weeks from the application date to get this no-brainer of an application authorized. Anything beyond that, and they've F'ed up in a huge way. There were no cases of myocarditis, no cases of anaphylaxis, no cases of blood clotting, nothing as far as I've seen reported as an adverse reaction. Efficacy was also shown to be high, with antibody titers on par with the 16-25 year old age control group. Obviously we'll know more when we see the data readout, but this should be an absolute F'ing slam dunk if this press release is accurate. Ball's in your court soon, FDA.
