RE: A thread to share positive news about Covid-19 Rx and vaccine developments
AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 Vaccine Is Safe, 79% overall Effective in Late-Stage U.S. Trials and 100% effective in preventing serious illness and hospitalization for everyone
Drug maker said it would prepare to request emergency authorization in the U.S. in coming weeks (as early as next month)
https://www.wsj.com/articles/astrazeneca..._lead_pos1
In separate good news, about 2.5 million people in the U.S. are vaccinated daily now compared to around 500,000 in early January.

lots of people will never stop wearing them and I expect it to be the new normal at the Hospital, Pharmacy, Dr's office, etc
"normal" probably wont be for 5-6 years IMHO.

"Regeneron Covid-19 Antibody Drug Reduced Risk of Hospitalization, Death by 70% in Late-Stage Trial
The drug was effective at a higher dose already in use and a lower dose, which the company said it would seek permission to start selling"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/regeneron-c...1616479200
The virus is getting squeezed from rapidly building herd immunity (from recovered people and vaccines) and effective treatments.

Pretty much the same thing Hydroxychloroquine and a Z-pac does.... "There is nothing new under the sun."

Early on they really didn't know how to treat Wuhan flu, Treatments are better, Vaccines are being delivered, and 15+% of the population has had it. All the scare tactics of a 3rd wave are just that, scare tactics. Soon 1/2 the population will have been vaccinated, a 3rd wave is all but impossible at that point.

having the previous POTUS play MD and push treatments that don't work made the Trump-flu far worse...soon we'll have a handle on the Orange-Man-Flu.

Not only is that factually wrong, that is also some weak-ass smack. Calling an eagle a chair is just pitiful, and reeks of desperation.

Stick to facts and let’s leave politics to the Spin Room. If you folks can’t do that, I’ll move the thread to the Spin Room. And to be fair, this goes for everyone—not just UofMemphis. His just happened to be the post that triggered a complaint—but he is not the only one interjecting politics in this thread.

This thread should have been moved to the spin room a long time ago.

RE: A thread to share positive news about Covid-19 Rx and vaccine developments
CDC - in real world study consistent with clinical results - finds Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines cut infection risk by 90%. Even one dose reduces infection risk by 80% after two weeks.
The subjects were about 4,000 at-risk essential workers (e.g., health care staff and first responders) across six states from Dec. 14 to March 13, 2021.
https://www.foxnews.com/health/pfizer-mo...-cdc-study
IMO only, the results are particularly good because health care workers have lots of exposure from the virus.

My sister had her second Pfizer shot a few weeks ago. First one just minor arm pain. Second one knocked her down for 2 days with overwhelming fatigue.
