Monday, November 09, 2020 - 06:45am
Vaccine candidate was found to be more than 90% effective in preventing COVID-19 in participants without evidence of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection in the first interim efficacy analysis
Analysis evaluated 94 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in trial participants
Study enrolled 43,538 participants, with 42% having diverse backgrounds, and no serious safety concerns have been observed; Safety and additional efficacy data continue to be collected
Submission for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) planned for soon after the required safety milestone is achieved, which is currently expected to occur in the third week of November
Clinical trial to continue through to final analysis at 164 confirmed cases in order to collect further data and characterize the vaccine candidate’s performance against other study endpoints
https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/pfizer-and-biontech-announce-vaccine-candidate-againstWOW! Joe Biden has been president since a few hours and he already found a vaccine!
The important bit:
Based on current projections we expect to produce globally up to 50 million vaccine doses in 2020 and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021.
Optimism, but still a lot of bumpy road ahead.
The official ratification of the election process and vote by the electoral college takes place on the 14th of December 2020.
At that time Biden will become the President-Elect until the 20th of January 2021, when he will be officially inaugurated and become POTUS.
Perhaps nitpicking I know. With somethings it is good to be accurate as possible imo.
The reality of it is that Trump has no path for re-election at this point. Its over.-----
What I thought important was this bit.
'Analysis evaluated 94 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in trial participants
Study enrolled 43,538 participants, with 42% having diverse backgrounds, and no serious safety concerns have been observed; Safety and additional efficacy data continue to be collected'
Less than 100 cases evaluated...hmmm. And what the hell is a 'diverse background' anyway?
I know personally I will not be trying any experimental vaccine in the near future. Perhaps in a couple of years.
Dude you are wrong Donald Trump has a path to re-election. He has the unique ability to pivot instantly.
His pivot has been clearly setup for 2024. As he plays the game for the future not today.
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/06/us/politics/stacey-abrams-georgia.htmlRead this article, probably behind paywall but I'll summarize -- Stacey Abrams is responsible for Georgia turning blue this election cycle.
She deserves praise from democrats, black vote turned out and cost Trump the state.
Now, the unfortunate thing is I don't think these people will turn out for the Georgia runoff election which means good chance Republicans secure a solid 52-48 senate majority. Just about the only silver lining this election cycle. That, and probably the house victories.
Actually if you look at Trump's 4 years and this election> Trump was helpful to the Republican/conservative movement.
A) 200 conservative federal judges
B) 6 to 3 margins in the Supreme Court.
C) most likely holds the senate
D) most likely gained in the house.
If the cases go to the supreme court and they decide against trump it is a victory for the republicans. As Biden would have no ability to stack the court by diluting it to 13 judges.. Republicans would be able to say the court was not bipartisan they ruled against Trump.
So basically Trump has already won if you are a republican he helped you out greatly.
If you are a trump fan you have already won an election in 2016 and can help push trump and his daughter back into the office in 2024.
I can be sure That Trump is going to play it this way. He will concede and run in 2024. He will open up Twitter Trump and call out the dems. for 4 years. Then TRUMP TRUMP ticket in 2024.
I can see it now. I predict that he wins the 2024 election for sure. Another president did this years ago. Some one please chime in with his name.
