Popular Post placeholder Posted July 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 9, 2021 Here's the meaning of immunization: 'the action of making a person or animal immune to infection, typically by inoculation.' So what are these scientists claiming? That AZ provides 100% immunization? Obviously not since not even Pfizer or Moderna can claim that. Just recently a report came out of Israel that said the Pfizer vaccine was only 64% effective against the Delta virus. To be fair, many epidemiologists there think that figure is too low, but virtually all agree that the Pfizer vaccine is less effective against Delta than it is against Alpha. Also, immunization is one thing, clinical effectiveness against severe symptoms and death is quite another. Almost certainly the Sinovac vaccine will be less effective than even AZ and even less effective than that when compared to Pfizer and Moderna. But will it provide an important degree of clinical protection? I don't think this study addresses that question at all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current vaccines are new but mRNA techniques have been studied and tested for 20 to 30 years. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's early days, isn't it? And if I were the authorities there, I would absolutely opt for erring on the side of caution. Let's wait and see how mortality rates fare in Phuket. So far, apparently the mortality rate is very low. And 70% double vaccination hasn't been attained yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do enter the cell and go to the ribosomes of the cell where instructions in the form of messenger RNA are issued to manufacture a covid 19 spike on the surface of the cell.

After being vaccinated with Sinovac we are told you need a <deleted> of Astravenca for the Delta variant. Then after that we need another dose for the Lambda variant or a Mrna shot for another variant and so on on and so forth.

Wonder how just the one jab of AZ does versus the 2 Sinovac jabs, and if the one AZ jab gives one a fighting chance. Would like to see a study on that. Yeah, first AZ shot 28th June and scheduled for the 2nd on 20th Sept...... it's a long wait in these troubled times especially knowing it's the 2nd dose that's the turbo charger for your own antibodies.

Evidently one dose of AZ is only giving about 33% efficacy against the Delta variant. In Australia , currently under-vaccinated and with a shortage of Pfizer, there is now a recommendation to reduce the AZ dosing period from 12 weeks to 8 weeks to prepare for a Delta variant surge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet before they pushed it back to 12 weeks they had it at 16 weeks, while in the UK they originally were giving the second jab after 4 weeks from what I remember.

Think Thailand originally had it spaced so far out because they wanted to get a 1st dose into as many arms as possible because of an obvious supply problem. Kickback from experts as well as the public got them back to 12 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sucit Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Let’s have a little lesson here. Virus variants infecting hosts with an effective vaccine get weeded out of the genome. In short, we eliminate the genomes the virus works against. Ok, great! Due to variation within the virus, some variants are resistant to the vaccines, maybe all of them. Result, these variants propagate. If you are following, we now have a situation where time has past and all we have left are the variants that are resistant to the vaccines. There will always be some of these variants who are resistant to any vaccine we produce, and since this all started with one infected individual… (deduce deduce deduce). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmatix Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 1 hour ago, connda said: In the ultimate irony, perhaps a super-killer variant comes along and ONLY Sinovac stops it. It's much more likely that injecting people with low quality stuff like Sinovac (and probably Sinopharm) that gives some immunity against delta but not enough to be any use will end up being like taking only part of a course of anitbiotices and will create a super variant. The SinoSigma variant perhaps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that means that no antiviral vaccines can ultimately work. Except they do.

For some reason on the graphs 2 X AZ looks way less effective. Hard to believe this stuff. The best indication are the breakthrough cases, hospitalizations and deaths. I think more numbers will be coming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least as far as the Delta variant goes. Which, oddly enough, would amount to an endorsement of Sinovac's use provided it was followed with Astrazeneca. For the time being, I'm going to remain sceptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which cocktail of vaccines would be the best mix, but with Pfizer seeking approval for a third shot, and most of the rest mulling the same, looks like a third shot is likely. Probably even a forth later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
