Houston COVID-19 vaccine Corbevax gets DCGI approval for use in India
First Post ^ | 29 December 2021 | Press Trust of India

Posted on 12/30/2021 6:12:43 PM PST by blueplum

Houston: The Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) announced on Tuesday that Corbevax, a protein subunit Covid vaccine, has received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch it in India.

The initial construct and production process of the vaccine antigen was developed at TCH's Centre for Vaccine Development, led by co-directors Maria Elena Bottazzi and Peter Hotez..

...TCH said the vaccine has been through phase three clinical trials with more than 3,000 subjects and was found to be safe and well-tolerated. The trials suggested a better immune response to the Ancestral-Wuhan strain of the virus as well as the delta variant compared to Covishield, developed by Oxford-AstraZeneca. None of the subjects showed severe adverse reactions to the vaccine; and adverse effects in the study were half of those from Covishield.

"TCH does not plan to make money on this, it is a gift to the world. The vaccine uses a traditional recombinant protein yeast fermentation technology, similar to that used for the recombinant hepatitis B vaccine, which has been around for 40 years. It was authorized based on superiority studies to another well- established Covid vaccine. This can be made locally all over the world, and we have now technology transferred our Texas Children's vaccine to producers in India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Botswana, Dr Hotez said....

"A Gift To The World"

1. No Patent - tech is free to the world
2. Uses 40 year old established protein technology same as existing Hep-B vaccine
3. said to outperform some other vaccines such as AZ
4. bonus: delivers killshot to antivax propaganda targeting African and Asian nations, some citizens of which voiced fears of 'detective machines' and 'aliens' in vaccines, which should lower concerns and so increase vaccination rates

another article adds, "...The makers of Corbevax didn't specifically say whether the shot is effective against the heavily mutated Omicron strain, which is quickly becoming dominant in countries across the globe. But Hotez argued that "widespread and global vaccination with our Texas Children's-Baylor-BE vaccine would also forestall the emergence of new variants.""

If it is effective and doesn't cause spike protein problems like those from the three US big pharma companies, what about its availability and use in the USA?

“The vaccine consists of a version of the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS‑CoV‑2 spike protein, together with the adjuvants aluminium hydroxide gel and CpG 1018. The protein is produced by the yeast Pichia pastoris; the process is similar to that of existing Hepatitis B vaccines.”

in other words, yet ANOTHER spike protein “vaccine” laced with two adjuvants (aluminium hydroxide gel and CpG 1018) because the “vaccine” is so weak it won’t work without special chemicals to hyper-stimulate the immune system, thereby making the immune system hypersensitive to EVERYTHING, so hello auto-immune disease ...

I’m waiting for Carbevax.

I want to be immune from the effects of eating carbs and lots of them.

Yes, a vaccine that uses parts of the virus so the immune system can detect and learn to fight it off - you know, what a vaccine does.

Gel is to encapsulate the components.

And we’re back to “hypersensitive” immune system vs. the newer propaganda that it shuts the immune system down. I guess when one gets worn out you guys switch back to the other one to keep the propaganda “fresh”

every country that pandemic profiteers boasted as using ivm have embraced vaccines. South America is now more vaccinated than the USA and India is beating the UK, at 90% first shot and 65% fully vaccinated with 1-1/2 billion doses given and using most all vaccines available, including Sputnik5 to get to that 90%.

It’s a pretty sad state of society when researchers trying to save lives are labeled nazis by crazies.
At least they’re in good company since the left label all republicans nazis, too.
So I’m guessing the crazies doing all the acting out aren’t republicans.

That’s not true, blueplum. South America (with the exception of French Guiana which has no figures available) has a rate of 57.75% fully vaccinated vs the US at 62%. India has a fully vaccinated rate of 43.2% while in the U.K. 70.5% are fully vaccinated. That’s per Our World in Data.

It’s clear you have an agenda, but misrepresenting the facts in such an important issue as Covid is reprehensible. Get triple vaccinated for all I care, but don’t lie in order to convince other ppl to risk their health by getting an experimental vaccine.

Using a study of 3000 participants is a joke. And once again scientists are using children in third world countries as guinea pigs. How magnanimous of them! Of course they’re not going to charge them for it. 🤬

The figures quoted for India appear correct when considering the adult population eligible for the vaccine. Figures quoted by you seem to include those ineligible for the vaccine, I.e. children.

I double checked my numbers using Reuters graphics. According to them, 61.9% of India’s population above the age of 18 has received at least 1 shot. In fact, they currently don’t give the vaccine to kids under 18.

The United States reports that 74.2% Americans (age 5 and above) have had at least one shot.

The UK reports that 77.5% have had at least 1 shot, which includes 12 and up in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland; England includes children as young as 2.

According to the union health ministry's data, India's Covid vaccination coverage has achieved 141.32 Crore (141,32,78,598) so far. Of these, 83,53,66,823 have received single shot and 57,79,11,775 are fully vaccinated

That's 1.413 billion shots, 835 million have had at least one shot and 578 million have had two shots out of a total of 940 million adults

From Bloomberg:

Over 65% of India’s roughly 94 crore adults had been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 as of Dec. 31, according to data on the CoWin dashboard. Over 90% of the adults have received at least one shot of the vaccine.

And therein lies the problem. Nobody knows exactly what’s going on as far as immunizations. I quote Reuters numbers and you respond with a vaccine quote from a different site. We’ve been lied to and manipulated by the “scientists,” politicians and the media since day 1, so only an idiot would believe anything they tell us anymore.

So here’s a novel idea: you do whatever you want as far as getting the “vaccine,” and I’ll do the same. Since 99% of ppl have made up their minds about the shot by now, you can continue to waste your time trying to convert them to your side. I’ll do my best to show the other side of the vaccination debate because ppl are only getting part of the story at this time. I guess we’ll see who’s left standing in a few years.

Have a nice day.
