Between April 23 and Nov 4, 2020, 23 848 participants were enrolled and 11 636 participants (7548 in the UK, 4088 in Brazil) were included in the interim primary efficacy analysis. In participants who received two standard doses, vaccine efficacy was 62·1% (95% CI 41·0–75·7; 27 [0·6%] of 4440 in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group vs71 [1·6%] of 4455 in the control group) and in participants who received a low dose followed by a standard dose, efficacy was 90·0% (67·4–97·0; three [0·2%] of 1367 vs 30 [2·2%] of 1374; pinteraction=0·010). Overall vaccine efficacy across both groups was 70·4% (95·8% CI 54·8–80·6; 30 [0·5%] of 5807 vs 101 [1·7%] of 5829).

90% when given a low dose followed by a standard dose.

I will take that 1 please.

This verified twitter account is someone who works in the vaccine & infectious disease department at a cancer and disease research organisation called Fred Hutch (also verified and followed by AstraZeneca on twitter, so very unlikely to be fake), a thread on what causes vaccines to become less effective and should we be worried about the new strain in terms of the vaccines:



TL;DR / Conclusion:


So we're probably good for now but new vaccines might be needed in a few years.

Flu vaccines are between 40-60 efficacy. The Oxford vaccine is between 60-90 efficacy dependent on two full doses or one half and one full dose. The ability to distribute and vaccinate the U.K. population is massively increased because of not requiring -70degree special storage. if anyone is offered this vaccine, grab it with both hands.....

I wouldn't have a worry if I knew I was getting the Pfizer vaccine. The Oxford vaccine though....

Meant to post that thread yesterday and forgot so thanks for posting it.

Trevor is part of the Seattle group that (against stupid CDC guidelines) proactively went looking for Covid in the local population and was first to report about local community spread in Washington state and has done lots of work on how early in arrived, how it has mutated etc.

Excellent poster to follow for factual information and is neither a scaremonger nor feeds overly rosy bull.

I've found that misinformation is more deadly than any virus.

Misinformation is the biggest killer around today.

People read things, then they take those things as gospel.

Educate yourself people, make up your own mind, do not be a puppet for main stream media.

I agree but unfortunately those are the sort of words the Q-Anon folks say as well :(
