2) We know that vaccine hesitancy is a “major threat to global health, and poor uptake would jeopardize the impact of a coronavirus vaccine” according to experts.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/08/03/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-vaccine-efficacy-trials.amp.html …

3) “weak vaccine might be worse than no vaccine at all. We do not want people who are only slightly protected to behave as if they are invulnerable, which could exacerbate transmission.”

4) “It is also costly to roll out a vaccine, diverting attention away from other efforts that we know work, like mask-wearing, and from testing better vaccines.”

5) There are over 100 trials for Covid vaccines. 8 of which are in the critical near final phase 3 process. But don’t be deceived by that 1 “approved”.... it’s a Chinese vaccine for its military that has not gone thru Phase 3 yet. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/science/coronavirus-vaccine-tracker.amp.html …pic.twitter.com/xHbVyM8zvZ

6) Again, that “limited approval” CanSino vaccine made in partnership with China’s military medical academy is only for Chinese soldiers, and was very controversial. CanSino vaccine is currently being tested in Saudi Arabia for its Phase 3. But doing the rollout before P3 risky.pic.twitter.com/l6VIzBvpui

7) Also, I hate that they named the vaccine Sputnik: “The vaccine is named Sputnik V, a reference to the first orbital satellite, which was launched by the Soviet Union in 1957 and set off the global space race.”
We don’t need a vaccine race or Cold War. Should collaborate.Pokaż ten wątek -
8) For same reason, I loathe the Trump administration’s vaccine initiative being called “Operation Warp Speed”—while it conveys urgency of the now, it also might give a sense it’s being rushed and then maybe create more vaccine hesitancy. Oy.

9) FYI: What is a PHASE III EFFICACY TRIAL? Scientists give the vaccine to thousands of people and wait to see how many become infected, compared with volunteers who received a placebo. These trials can determine if the vaccine protects against the coronavirus...

10) “In June, the F.D.A. said that a coronavirus vaccine would have to protect at least 50% of vaccinated people to be considered effective. In addition, Phase III trials are large enough to reveal evidence of relatively rare side effects that might be missed in earlier studies.”

11) Thus, Phase 3 gives not just confidence in safety in wider array of people, and hence picking up effects in more narrow subgroups of people, but also allow well it truly prevents infection in real world setting. And both of those are key. Let’s focus: Quality over warp speed.
