    Basically:

    1st shot + 7 days: 69%
    1st shot + 14 days: 93%
    2nd shot + 7 days: 95%

    Aka...you don't need a 2nd shot from Pfizer, if the data holds.

      93% of the time it works...every time.

      Too lazy to look it up. What's the effectiveness after the 2nd dose?

      @george-k I read a study in the UK that stated the 2nd dose of both vaccines should be delayed for up to 90 days after the first dose. When administered on the current schedule, the effective rate actually drops into the High 70s, low 80s. If they delay the 2nd dose, the effective rate climbs to 97+

        https://www.npr.org/2021/04/23/989954894/biden-administration-looks-for-help-with-next-phase-of-pitching-covid-vaccines

        “The Biden administration is moving into a new phase of its campaign to vaccinate as many Americans as possible for the coronavirus, one where the government may not always be the best messenger to persuade people to get their shot.

        So it's working to bring together hundreds of local and national groups into something it calls the COVID-19 Community Corps, enlisting people to help their friends, family and neighbors make appointments and get access to vaccines.
        ...
        The country is nearing the point where vaccine supply will outstrip demand. ...
        “

        Sounds reasonable enough. I imagine there are many NGOs that are already involved with promoting and helping people get vaccinated anyway. Hopefully this is engage more NGOs and help those already engaged to become more effective.

          US drop in vaccine demand has some places turning down doses
          https://apnews.com/article/nm-state-wire-health-coronavirus-government-and-politics-108f1fd0813f0d2ecec1589fd137625d

          “... Across the country, pharmacists and public health officials are seeing the demand wane and supplies build up. About half of Iowa’s counties have stopped asking for new doses from the state, and Louisiana didn’t seek shipment of some vaccine doses over the past week.

          Some are urging federal officials to send more vaccine to places where there’s demand — rather than allocate them based on population — including Massachusetts Republican Gov. Charlie Baker, who said on Thursday they could administer two to three times more doses per day if they had more supply.”

          And then there is the insight from an interview with a mother who homeschools her two children, talking about her home schooling community:

          “The stronger someone’s trust is in the Lord, the least likely they are to want the vaccine or feel that it’s necessary.”

                I don’t mind if an individual believes if they catch Covid it was God’s plan, it’s just that they can cause others to die that doesn’t seem like a good interpretation of God’s plan.

                        Get the vaccines to the family doctors. Have them start addressing it in one on one conversations with their patients during their physicals.

                            This is a huge mistake. Pharma companies all took potentially catastrophic financial risks to come up with the vaccines. To take away from them the ability to recoup and perhaps make a profit on them pretty much guarantees they will not answer the phone next crisis.

                              I heard a lawyer interviewed this morning say that this is pretty much a symbolic step. You can't produce vaccines from a patent, and without the co-operation of the Pharm companies it really isn't possible to reproduce the product.

                                    The actual result is pretty much irrelevant compared to the big middle digit it sends the pharma companies. They can take huge risks then have their legal protections stripped on a whim? I'm not even sure he can actually do this, but if he can he shouldn't.

                                      This is part of this we are back at the globalist table campaign. Cozying up with WHO in this case and feel good domestically. It would never pass in current form but all sorts of different gives will be put forth by big Pharma. Interestingly it is quite possible another country like Germany will release a refrigerator ready RNA based vaccine soon which will render Moderna and Pfizer useless for the rest of the world.

                                          This is a huge mistake. Pharma companies all took potentially catastrophic financial risks to come up with the vaccines. To take away from them the ability to recoup and perhaps make a profit on them pretty much guarantees they will not answer the phone next crisis.

                                          I heard a lawyer interviewed this morning say that this is pretty much a symbolic step. You can't produce vaccines from a patent, and without the co-operation of the Pharm companies it really isn't possible to reproduce the product.

                                          Don't think the Chinese can't produce it?

                                          I have no idea. The lawyer didn't seem to think so. I've seen the Chinese counterfeit quite a bit of stuff we get involved with, and make a right old mess of it. I'd have thought the stakes were higher with medicine than electronics.

                                          I was only joking
