They did well being first to market because I think the convenience of the single dose vaccine will bury them.
Funny thing is both Moderna and Pfizer's stage 3 trials showed single-dose efficacy well north off 50%...

if the bulk of the population is 99+% safe from the 'rona anyways - a 50% vaccine seems like a waste of risk potential and $$

Wait, even the 2 dose is only 90+%.

I guess I'll take my 99+% chance of winning against this raging pandemic virus....

Yeah. Just seems really dumb to vaccinate against something that has a 99.9993 survival rate to start with. Now think about this. The Flu is a Corona virus. The vaccine for regular Flu must be reformulated every year due to mutation. The thugs and pervs in the government claim they have created a vaccine in less than a year that kills a Corona virus. This smells worse than Pelosi's panties. What say the sheep?

Yeah get it from a "reputable source" like CCPCNN, MSDNC, ABC and don lemon etc.

Good grief you are retarded.

Nothing inaccurate in his post.

Go get that shot(s). Best of luck. There's a reason major medical groups are NOT mandating the vaccines for their frontline providers.

Nothing is inaccurate in his post? How about "The Flu is a Corona virus." for a start.

350,000 deaths / 350,000,000 Americans means 0.1% of the population has died of Covid, clearly less than a 99.9993% survival rate. Also vaccines don't kill viruses, they prime the immune system to produce the right antibodies to kill the virus.

I think you are confusing the flu with the common cold, the latter being a coronavirus and the former not. The survival rate is a guess since the denominator is the amount of people infected which is unknown. That being said the survival rate for the flu is also high, but we still get vaccinated from that. Just sayin.
