A follow up on this - the FDA wanted a trial of 30k rather than the UK one of 10k, wanted more older people/comorbitities enrolled and were confused by the one and a half dose regimen.


I think the FDA got hold of this video footage from the Oxford AstraZenica testing labs...

...you cant blame them wanting to get their own data.

This thread and the george floyd one running at the same time did for me, I don't like missing out on really informative stuff from plenty (including yourself) but sometimes it isn't worth the energy I'll waste being annoyed
I used to get quite annoyed by "them", but honestly now I just pity them and find them really sad.

Think a lot of people are in the same boat which is a good reason to be more forgiving/understanding than usual - not that I can always walk that talk lol
Its really opened my eyes to a few people.

Was talking to somebody who I have known for almost 30 years a few months ago, he was showing me videos on youtube about how it was all a big conspiracy and saying it isn't real. I made my excuses and left, I haven't spoken to them since and am certainly in no hurry to for a while.

But if I'm honest, my kids have been the biggest disappointment, I know they are young and easily led by the media they no doubt read, facebook, but still, they are utter morons.

In the placebo group of the trial for Novavax’s vaccine, people with prior coronavirus infections appeared just as likely to get sick as people without them, meaning they weren’t fully protected against the B.1.351 variant that has swiftly become dominant in South Africa. The variant has been detected only a handful of times in the United States, including a case reported Friday in Virginia, which became the third state to identify the presence of the virus variant.

“I worry especially that some of these premature sweeping conclusions being made could rob people of hope,” said Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Science and Security. “I worry the message they may receive is that we’re never going to be rid of this. When in fact that’s not what the data suggests.”

She and others emphasized the apparent lack of severe health repercussions from reinfection — and the lack of evidence that reinfection is common.
