Is this the one where you feel like hell after the second shot for 3 days? That’s a serious question.

Andy, I know you’re following this closely and I’ve watched your commentary on CNN. I find the trials confusing, does Phase 3 mean that there were no problems in 1 and 2 so it advances, or is it that whatever issues they may have had in 1 and 2 been worked out?

Phase 1 is a small trial on animals. Phase 2 is a small group of people, primarily testing safety and dosages. Phase 3 is a large trial (>30k here) testing for efficacy and less likely side effects. After that, there'll be ongoing monitoring for rare side effects (e.g. 1 in 100k)
