Untested Trump Vaccine?
« on: August 28, 2020, 01:14:28 pm »
Untested Trump Vaccine?

Like influenza and other viruses, Covid-19 and other Corona virues will never go out of circulation. Thus the long-term "solution" to Covid-19 is to have one or more vaccines for the virus (which could be "adjusted" to counter-act future Corona virus outbreaks).

What is this test "Phase" stuff? Phase I is the first human trial, with a few 10s of subjects. It tests whether the vaccine candidate can be effective, and at a dose level with reasonably mild side effects (safety). Phase II involves hundreds of subjects, with a wider range of age and ethnic backgrounds. Phase III involves 10s of thousands of subjects. Phases II and III both continue to look at effectiveness and safety. Phase III is the final pre-approval test phase.

What follows is timelines for the progress of each of the leading vaccine candidate, plus several others whose companies are working with the various Federal agencies. These are far from the only vaccines being developed "out there", but are the ones most likely to be approved earliest by the US FDA. Taking a view at a level above the nutsy-boltsy details, one can see that:

* The Trump Administration is not putting "its" eggs in just one or a very few baskets;

* The Trump Administration has chosen companies from multiple countries - AstraZeneca is UK/Sweden; BioNTEch is German; Sanofi is French;

* A great deal of attention has not only gone into development and testing, but the US government has also assisted the vaccine companies with production capacity in the US and with necessaries such as vials and syringes; potential bottlenecks have been anticipated and addressed.

Because Democrat leaders have begun to politicize Covid-19 vaccines, vaccine companies that have been working with the US government have responded in a couple of ways. Many, on September 8th, made this public announcement that they are testing their products to the proper standards.

CEOs of AstraZeneca, BioNTech, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Moderna, Novavax, Pfizer, and Sanofi announced a pledge to uphold the integrity of the scientific process in their work towards regulatory filings and approvals of COVID-19 vaccines:

https://www.pfizer.com/news/press-release/press-release-detail/biopharma-leaders-unite-stand-science

The companies that are doing the final pre-approval test phase have posted their FDA approved test protocols online:

AstraZeneca - https://s3.amazonaws.com/ctr-med-7111/D8110C00001/52bec400-80f6-4c1b-8791-0483923d0867/c8070a4e-6a9d-46f9-8c32-cece903592b9/D8110C00001_CSP-v2.pdf

Moderna - https://www.modernatx.com/sites/default/files/mRNA-1273-P301-Protocol.pdf

Pfizer - https://pfe-pfizercom-d8-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/2020-09/C4591001_Clinical_Protocol_0.pdf

Johnson & Johnson - https://www.jnj.com/coronavirus/covid-19-phase-3-study-clinical-protocol

It's reprehensible that Democrat "leaders" are politicizing Covid-19 vaccines, casting doubt on the vaccines solely for political gain. Doing this is very likely to cost lives among people who buy into the Democrats' cynical political tactic. As pathetic as it is that pharmaceuticals companies have been to defend their professionalism and their products - the companies developed the vaccines, not President Trump, and the companies and partnering hospitals and universities are performing the testing, not President Trump - they are doing so.

But more dead people means more Democrat voters.

However they get that way.

Either way, the Dems will blame Trump...It's all they got.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
