Moderna vaccine at 95 percent effective rate

its knowingly unreasonable requeat but it would be awesome if pharma ceo's found their primary motive in saving people and making money a lucky byproduct

Given the fact that whatever companies bring these vaccines to market most definitely won't be making a fortune off of it (like most vaccines), and the speed at which it was developed, I'd say the priorities are in order.

Love it. Trump had nothing to do with it, and greedy big pharma only did it to make a buck. Maybe we should leave it to basement chemists and Google doctors like shore guy to figure it out, going forward.
 
Nice of Trump to produce vaccine and hand to Biden so MSM can brag about what a great job Biden did on Covid.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you don't apply that same rational to the economic circumstances which Trump inherited when he took over?

In any case, as I said in the other thread, the administration did the right thing in regards to promoting faster vaccine development. Moderna was the beneficiary of having the government provide about a billion for R&D and 1.5 billion for manufacturing. Under the agreement, the US government will get the first 100 million doses available with an option to purchase more at $15 per dose.

That is discounted from the expectation of $32 to $37 which is where they expect to price the vaccine for sales of smaller orders.

Donnie you are in the health care, patient wellneas field, any adminstration would have enabled a process to research and combat what we are under, yet you want give this shyster credit that he doesnt deserve

Considering how bad they messed up their initial response to the pandemic, I definitely do give them credit for getting this part right.

Unfortunately I do not think the vaccine will help end the pandemic in the United States. There are too many anti vaxxers. We will be dealing with this pandemic for the next 18-24 months. The great Dr. Tony Fauci said yesterday we will still be wearing masks and social distancing for a long time. As I have predicted we will be wearing masks for the rest of our lives.

countries in asia wear permanent masks, but i think its more related to the poor air quality. i think.

if we wear permanent masks it really is political. this country rebounded after ww1>spanish flu>great depression>ww2

spanish flu was way worse. im hopeful this will be no more than 2 years

Unfortunately many posters do not see this on this board. Governor's are now telling people how they should spend their Thanksgivings and what not. This is precedent for the future. The mask mandate will never be removed, especially in NJ. The government now has more power than ever and this is only the beginning.

Just my opinion but these vaccines will have a much higher adoption rate in our country. People are tired and want to get things back to normal. The same folks that don't want to get their kids vaccinated may resist this vaccine but if they have anyone that is at risk that they come in contact with, they may be persuaded to get it too. This one is different and I think more folks will get vaccinated.

I wish the Moderna news was simply greeted for what it is - very good news. Everything does not have to be political. That is the basis of many of our problems and we can make a difference by not being asses every day. Have a good day!!

I agree. I do hope people take the vaccines that SHOULD get them. I am not too sure on the youth yet. I do agree that health providers, at risk, and elderly people should receive these vaccines.

Unfortunately the government is now using the covid-19 pandemic to tell people what to do. This will never end.

seems a bit reacrionary. limiting large groups is the only way to limit the spread enough so hospitals never reach full capacity. its not the worst idea. consider it an act of being kind to your neighbor, or family.

if they try to limit thabksgiving a second time people will blatantly ignore

When there is a snow blizzard or a hurricane warning doesnt the government tell people what to do? Some still dont listen and the unfortunate ones die.

Governor Murphy just said that there might have to be police intervention if it is found there are large thanksgiving gatherings. That doesn't concern you the slightest?

So you will comply with the mask mandate even when the pandemic is over?

So you are also fine with the governor telling you how many people you can have your future private gatherings in the future? Crazy to think you think this is going to end after covid lol. Governors will be telling us how many people we can have a parties/gatherings for years to come.

You are overly deranged on this, again i cant get a sense on if you seek protection for you and your household or if you are a total anti democratic gov bandwagon person
 
Of course not. He is a troll. Ignore him.

@Merge can block me then if he thinks I am a troll. I just want to point out that I was the first poster to warn this board about the pandemic. And even Merge doubted me at first. But look at where we are at now. Was I wrong about the second wave? Still haven't had that answered.

I have posted some factual information and will continue to do so. Thank you.
 
You disappeared for three months when your doomsday predictions failed to materialize.

I had some personal affairs that I had to attend to. Other than the September shutdown prediction, what has not materialized? We are not in a second wave? Are there not more restrictions that are currently occurring. Please advise what other predictions were incorrect. Thank you.

i think you might be right. anti vaxxers typically see it as putting something unknown into your body, for a disease that was a problem 200 years ago. its a hoax! its a front!

this disease popped up in their lifetime which clearly has killed tons of people. The vaccine was not ready at hand and had to take over a year to even start testing. would be a pretty crazy ploy just to give their kid autism.

I was surprised to hear that he put aside the beaker with hydroxichloroquine and bleach to finish his work on the mRNA vaccine.

Personal affairs? As someone who hasn’t left the house since March 15th, you likely have had some downtime.

A family member was seriously sick and I take care of this person at my house. This is why I don't leave my house. I don't want this family member to contract COVID-19. You just have no idea, keyboard warrior.

hope all is well with your family but you have to understand that ghosting for months when things dont go as you spammed with the excuse of "family matters" comes across as a bit too convenient. so you have to at least understand where hes coming from.

it also takes 2 seconds to post on this board. dan was on here just a few weeks after his scary incident. maybe hes just that much of a legend. half this board uses a smart phone and all of them go to the bathroom 😆 theres always time for piratecrew

Thank you. Well there are way more important things for me above posting on this board. But fortunately the situation is a lot better now. Most important thing to remember right now. The vaccine will not end this pandemic and we will be in this mess for a long time. I think to 2022 or 2023. Don't believe the hype from the media and Dr. Tony Fauci that we will be back to normal 2nd to 3rd quarter 2021. That will not be the case.

also seems a bit convenient that the situation is better once the second wave begins to hit. im not discrediting your situation im just giving you an understanding of the optics.

nothing is on one end of the spectrum. TB hasnt been eradicated from by the vaccine but we're not still in that pandemic are we? the goal isnt to rid every case of coivd.

and the 2022 timeframe isnt absurd in the grand scheme of things. 2 years total, few months of lock down, few months of restrictions, and a year of trying to cope while administering vaccines. surely too long for me mentally but thats life. nobody thought we'd be this far along with the vaccine so maybe well be farther along in terms of being normal again.

as another poster said before im more worried about covid21 than covid 19 at this point lol

Respectfully I think the thing you don't understand is this vaccine will not be successful unfortunately. Too many people will refuse to take this vaccine. We will still be in the "Pandemic" phase for a few years.

I hope you are right that there will be a high adoption rate. However, there are some of the hardcore Trump people who think this Covid thing is a fake. Sure, these same people hate wearing a mask and continually talk about having their liberties taken away, yet will not take the vaccine. This will be an interesting time. I think some sort of identification verification of someone that has taken the vaccine will be developed so that they can then enter bars, restaurants etc to ensure the other customers that it is a safe environment.

Look at NJ, hardcore Biden people, wearing masks but not cooperating with contact tracers, to the tune of 60%. The difference with this vaccine for the people in the middle is the perception that it was rushed to market.
