3NUMBAS Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Coronavirus vaccine: Johnson & Johnson jab shows response in 98% of test participants Graig Graziosi , The Independent•26 September 2020 One of the numerous proposed coronavirus vaccines has produced a strong immune response in test subjects according to a report issued Friday. Johnson & Johnson's JNJ.N Covid-19 vaccine, called Ad26.COV2.S, was well-tolerated by subjects at two dosing instances in early-to-mid stage coronavirus clinical trials. It is the only Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trial in the US that is testing a single dose vaccine. Researchers said 98 per cent of participants in the study whose data was available had neutralising antibodies, which help the body fight off pathogens, a month after they received the vaccine. The vaccine is unique in that it is delivered in a single shot, rather than in two doses. The reduced time needed to deliver the vaccine could simply its distribution. The report written based on the trial, which was released on the medical website medRxiv, has not been peer reviewed, according to Reuters.

Chivas Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 More than welcome and all should embrace it because once a vaccine is approved then you can be sure Thailand will require evidence of that vaccination before entry No proof no entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Chance Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 With the Chinese vaccine already tested on 100,000's+, would you rather take a vaccine that has been around the longest? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdemundo Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If I understand this correctly it is a one shot vaccine. From a public health POV this is a huge advantage. The public health brainiacs are already factoring in the fact the for multi-shot vaccines a significant percentage will not follow-up with subsequent jabs.

I would not hesitate to take that Chinese vaccine. Assuming it's that SinoVac one which I think is the one they are doing widespread testing on. It's a reputable company and that vaccine is similar to the other leading contenders around the world. Where it's based on a template for an existing vaccine and therefore already somewhat well tested. I think it's also the same type of vaccine as the other leading contenders. The other one I'm not so sure about. I think the company is called SinoPharm which is a state owned company. I would have less trust in any state owned company.

oompie69 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 At this stage, it's not about whether any vaccine works. It's more about getting governments to believe that a particular vaccine works. And I suspect that the WHO will play a central in choosing the "magic bullet", so to speak.. The policy of a negative test within 72 hours of flight and 14- 21 day quarantine is not the answer to getting travel going again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3NUMBAS Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 Weekly nasal spray could offer protection from Covid-19, research finds Rebecca Speare-Cole 1 hour ago https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/covid-19-protection-nasal-spray-a4557876.html A nasal spray given once or twice a week could offer protection against coronavirus, according to new research. Human trials could start within four months after studies on ferrets, led by an expert from Public Health England (PHE), found the spray could reduce infection and prevent transmission. The therapy, developed by Australian biotech company Ena Respiratory, was originally developed to boost the natural immune system to fight colds and flu. But trials showed that INNA-051 could reduce Covid-19 replication by up to 96% after it managed to boost the immune response prior to infection.

Lacessit Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'm not inclined to trust a Johnson and Johnson product, a few blots on their escutcheon. Such as asbestos in talcum powder, and that chlorinated sweetener they market. The other aspect is the vaccine they may have is being pushed by Trump to be released without full validation. As Trump's only interest is getting re-elected, I have doubts as to its efficacy and safety, although it's probably a step up from the disinfectant he was espousing.

No disrespect intended, but I think that's exactly the attitude they've been going for... Trample our rights. Give away $$$ trillions to Wall Street and the banks and Big Pharma. Whatever you want, we'll let you do it. Just let us have our lives back... Edited September 28, 2020 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
