Just heard Cruise Line stocks are on the upswing. Correct -- that info was posted on the RCL stock thread a while ago. Markets set to open 6% higher this morning. The 90% effective rate is better than what the market was expecting. Edited November 9, 2020 by livingonthebeach 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 90% and that is before the second or booster dose... GREAT NEWS for all.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BND Posted November 9, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) I was just coming to post the story. Also, expect vaccine requirements to cruise as soon as this is released. And, others are to follow. I know it requires really cold storage, but hey, it works. Here's the story from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-vaccines-pfizer-in-idUSKBN27P1FB?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0Zd3lc3wHFcb-ligA2KCoJ5Ii6pb0P8Q-p9CcOI_QtNIFhiFBEdoQT_qg Edited November 9, 2020 by BND 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted November 9, 2020 #6 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Finally some good news. I imagine distribution of this one, and hopefully other companies will follow, will take awhile but very wonderful news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From manufacture to the shot in the arm. States have all been notified as to what laws they have in place for immunizers and other regulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not-enough-cruising Posted November 9, 2020 #14 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Let’s all take a deep breath. The 90% number quoted was measured at 28 days post injection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never took a penny of government money to fund their development. I'm sure that other entities will try to take credit, but this one belongs solely to Pfizer. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90% number quoted was measured at 28 days post injection. Actually, according to Pfizer's CEO this morning on CNBC, these results were from the review of the second tranche of clinical data which would encompass everything since the phase three trials started this summer. From Pfizer's press release this morning: "Pfizer and BioNTech are continuing to accumulate safety data and currently estimate that a median of two months of safety data following the second (and final) dose of the vaccine candidate – the amount of safety data specified by the FDA in its guidance for potential Emergency Use Authorization – will be available by the third week of November. Additionally, participants will continue to be monitored for long-term protection and safety for an additional two years after their second dose."

What will be more interesting and more relevant is what the response is at 90-180 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than worth their while to do so. Very common for companies to "bet on the come". If this works as well as projected Pfizer stands to do very well and not just from the vaccine. They will also have very happy investors. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-pfizer/u-s-to-pay-pfizer-biontech-1-95-billion-for-covid-19-vaccine-idUSKCN24N1I9 Edited November 9, 2020 by BND 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have spent 30 plus years in medicine, this news, while positive, isn’t close to being declared a viable solution. Short term immune response is a great cornerstone to build upon, but we need more data before I would allow this to be used on any of my patients nor my family. That’s all I’m saying. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read that article carefully, you will see that the Government promised to purchase ~$2 billion worth of Pfizer's vaccine if (and only if) it was proven effective. Pfizer rejected the government offer of development funding and was not a participant in Warp Speed. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But would you agree that with the new rules with the FDA speeding up the process with these vaccines may influence your response? Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine in 2 years. It's 2020. We have come a long way from the 50's. Would it not be possible to realistically have a vaccine in 6 months instead of 3 years taking out all of the paperwork...etc...? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite question. In medicine, as what? My DIL is an RN but doesn't know any more about the virus than any lay person as she works in a GP office. My husband's cousin is an RN and her DH is a urologist and neither know more than what they read in the medical info availalbe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
