The silver lining of the massive case spike

[jon-nyc]

Every vaccine trial’s efficacy numbers will come in very early.

Still need to wait for safety. 2 months for emergency approval, 6 months for general.

But we’ll have really good efficacy data real fast.

@jon-nyc news here saying bibi signed a deal with Pfizer to provide 4,000,000 doses starting January.

Seems bibi talked to the CEO of Pfizer. Jewish from Thessaloniki. He chatted him up about the deep ties between the Greek Jewish community and Israel. Next thing you know bibi announces we’re gettting vaccines in two months.

Who says we don’t run the world?

Btw the Cheif medical officer of moderna is Israeli. I think we have all bases covered.

We long ago signed a deal for 25MM by year end

[jon-nyc]

Both Pfizer and the German founder and partner agreed to sell half their output to the US.

[jon-nyc]

Next year they think they can make 1.3B doses.

That’s ~108MM a month.

If we get half, that’s 54MM a month.

Remember everyone needs two doses though.

[jon-nyc]

But Moderna will be shipping by year end. And probably AZ too.

[jon-nyc]

Bach - you’ll get enough for 4MM people so 8MM doses says jpost

[bachophile]

@jon-nyc whatever. I just want this shit to end so I can vacation far away from here.
