All’s not OK with Oxford-Astrazeneca-Serum vaccine as claimed
I saw a set of survey questions on vaccine taking in circle. As you answer them pls review this information too. All is not well with the Oxford-Astrazeneca-Serum vaccine. That Poonawala fellow and Indian media kay be claiming victory too early jeopardizing common people.
In a significant development, British-Swedish drug maker AstraZeneca and Oxford University on Wednesday admitted a manufacturing error while developing coronavirus COVID-19 vaccine.The acknowledgement by AstraZeneca has raised serious questions over the preliminary results of the company's COVID-19 vaccine as the error made a difference in the trial results.
AstraZeneca issued the statement admitting the error days after it described the shots as “highly effective”. It may be recalled that AstaZeneca and Oxford University did not mention why some study participants were not administered as much vaccine in the first of two shots as expected.
According to AstraZeneca, the volunteers who were given a lower dose showed much better response than the volunteers who got two full doses. AstraZeneca said that the vaccine appeared to be 90% effective in the low-dose group.
AstraZeneca also revealed that the volunteers who got two full doses showed 62% efficacy against coronavirus. AstraZeneca had said that the combined result showed the vaccine is 70% effective. But several experts raised questions over the way which were adopted by AstraZeneca and Oxford Universuty to arrive at these results.
On November 23, AstraZeneca and Oxford University had announced that the COVID-19 vaccine being developed jointly by them has shown 70 per cent efficiency. Oxford-AstraZeneca, however, added that the efficacy of vaccine could be around 90 per cent under one dosing regimen.

BTW we don't need to bother about any choice in the matter of the vaccine .... As and when the Govt approves one or more, it shall selectively make them available to identified groups, due to their shortage ... We can individually exercise our choice once we are in an identified group in a location where vaccination is being undertaken ... A la Robert Frost .... We have miles to go before we sleep .... more

I see attempted blackmail here .... he could have milked the opportunity in US through the courts ... In India, unfortunately he can only milk it through the media and now that he's gone public he's already lost the threat value .... The matter will close in 10L within 48 hours or will die a natural death in a week ... Kahani abhi baaki hai .... more

The very fact the participant has claimed damages of 5 CRORES,at the very instance he complained of "brain sisfunction", indicates ulterior monives. Lat us not fall a prey to American Dirty economic games.As the first commentator mentioned, appropriate authories will take cognizence before allowing its full use. Incidentally, Vinita should note that Robert F, kennedy Jr.has expressed serious objections to the virus made in USA. more

Why the cart before the horse? Regulators know their job. Wait for approvals before any medicine or vaccine can be sold and administered to people. more
