Hey, it’s a living.
Or not. :)
Dr. Mengle, Calling Dr. Mengle...please pick up the white courtesy phone...Dr. Fauci is waiting!
Shouldn’t they have a much, much larger sample?
Or they could just open up a tens of million dose trial to every patriotic American who is willing to take an experimental vaccine then forgo any social distancing,masks none of that and see how many get sick vs those that don’t. The results will come back real fast and you can let all those people have immunity passports once you find the one that works. I personally would risk my health to take a vaccine for the country then walk around and see if it works. It’s the patriotic thing to-do
“I don’t want to go on the cart.”
according to the CDC, survival rates for covid infections in this age group are more than 99.98%. So one out of 5000
If there are 100 study participants age 18-30, an average of 1/50th of 1 person will die. OK, there are all kinds of other variables.
But this shows you how wildly overstated the danger is for this disease for younger people.
How dangerous the vaccine itself is, i have no idea
Will they be testing different strains of cv19?
So, this isn’t the Babylon Bee.
Well yeah. How else are you supposed to test a vaccine? We’ll be doing it too when we get to human trials, if aren’t already.
Coronavirus: a disease so deadly you have to test people to be certain they have it.
As I understand it, virtually all these vaccine trials for safety and efficacy are being done on younger populations without comorbidities.
What possibly could go wrong with that approach, I wonder?
And that’s the rub... Healthy individuals have nothing to fear from this virus... I.E... It doesn’t kill healthy people, it only kills those who’s immune systems are compromised... So why were we all forced to hide indoors for 3 months?
Europe is culturally opposite than the U.S. when it comes to drug trials - ok to use humans, but not ok to use animals.
