Coronavirus: EU says AstraZeneca must 'catch up' on vaccine deliveries

[netcurtains] 25/3/2021 18:46

Is it a coincidence that the only drug company producing a vaccine for Free: Oxford/AstraZenica is getting attacked globally by a whispering campaign?

Are the other big profit making pharmas behind the global campaign to smear Oxford/AstraZenica?

It is pretty weird.

AstraZeneca updates US vaccine efficacy results

AstraZeneca's revised results now put the vaccine's overall efficacy at 76% instead of 79%. Among the over 65s, its efficacy rose from 80% to 85% and against severe disease it remains 100% effective

LEX in the FT had a pop at the CEO yesterday, saying their 2023
revenue targets stated at the time of the Pfizer bid..will not be met.

Their view is the CEO has a tendency to ..over promise.


Given what PS has achieved with AZN thought the tone of LEX a little harsh.

Oncology referrals are in some cases down 30% over the last 12 months,
so that may help explain any mild disappointment on medium term revenue outlook.

What, are you the new public health expert?

This is helpful. Keep hand sanitizer with you when out and about.

Conclusion
Observational and mechanistic evidence as well as established animal orofecal transmission of coronaviruses suggests SARS-CoV-2 can infect and be shed from the human gastrointestinal tract. Future studies should test this hypothesis rigorously to allow the development of appropriate public health measures.

Blue, that was Merkel's reported quote from yesterday.

Their 7 day new case average looks to be Up around 80% plus ?
over the last month, from a quick look.

The consensus is growing that Masks can cause more harm, and while this research below (linked) is not aimed at Masks, it does question airbourne trans.


Conclusion
SARS-COV-2 RNA can be detected intermittently by RT-PCR in the air in a variety of settings. A number of studies that looked for viral RNA in air samples found none, even in settings where surfaces were found to be contaminated with SARS-CoV-2 RNA. The lack of recoverable viral culture samples of SARS-CoV-2 prevents firm conclusions to be drawn about airborne transmission. The current evidence is low quality, and there is an urgent need to standardise methods and improve reporting.

'Cases increasing exponentially' = Rt > 1

Is that 1.01, 1.2, 2, 3, what?

Doesn't really quantify how bad the situation is.

[essentialinvestor] 24/3/2021 14:22

Hoping for a bit lower to add, not really happening atm.

Phil, pressure from other politicans reportedly.


Had the Oxford Astra vaccine in Guildford this morning.
SuperDrug, very efficient service, no waiting or faffing about.

EI, all a bit strange with Germany. Merkel has just cancelled the Easter lockdown.

Israel excess deaths still higher than all EU countries bar one

Germans talking about Covid-19 cases now increasing exponentially.

Very ugly indeed with a new wave of cases hitting mainland Europe.


UK and Israel looking much better as a result of our respective
vaccination programmes.

UK hospital inpatients with COVID-19 fell by another 10% yesterday.
Very positive.

AstraZeneca says it will release up-to-date results from the final stage trial of its vaccine, responding to criticism from a U.S. science agency.

Meanwhile, the European Union is only prepared to let the U.K. take a small portion of Astra’s output from the Netherlands, and is set to announce tougher rules on vaccine exports.

Elsewhere, rival drugmaker Pfizer has begun testing on humans a new pill to treat the coronavirus that could be used at the first sign of illness.
