Biotech firm BioNTech CEO was on CNN saying they would have a vaccine ready for approval by the

middle of October.

1. Please read this DU post

3. I am just reporting what CNN reported about 15 minutes ago. They had the CEO on. This is

what is going on in Germany in conjunction with Pfizer

6. I know.

Just wanted to get a link to vax gone bad info. (I'm not anti-vax, but people need to know about what the risks are, esp with a rushed vaccine.)

7. I think one of the biggest risks is not enough time to know how effective it is

[SheltieLover]

9. That & safety concerns!

Huge factor!

Read about Gulf War vets! Exact symptoms as lyme disease! Could have been any spirochete...

15. One "positive" is that there was a relative surge in cases

The more cases there are, the less time it takes to show effectiveness.

It's one thing to show lab results and then to demonstrate an immune response... but the real proof comes when there's enough of a difference in the rate of people getting sick in the control group vs. those who are immunized in the trial. Therefore, a surge in cases in the areas where studies are occurring can accelerate the effectiveness measures.

At one point, some of the vaccine companies were worried that the virus was dying out too quickly and they wouldn't be able to get good results.

16. LOL, I guess that is a "relative positive"

2. key "ready for approval." That alone can take months if done correctly, not rushed

As far as being ready to give the vaccine in October, it should have been in the manufacturing stage for months already

Add to that the idiot king decimated the federal government agencies that would be responsible for overseeing the distribution and giving of the vaccine.

4. Yes, and the other key which wasn't referred to by the CEO is does that include how effective it

is? Unless they have an adequate number of people in areas that have the virus, it will take time to determine how effective it is

5. Right. Looking at this link, doesn't sound like Oct, it says end of 2020

8. The CEO is flirting with trouble by going on CNN implying certain things. I am talking about SEC

issues, without any disclaimer, which he did not make in that interview

[FBaggins]

13. Both this company and Phizer said this 2-3 weeks ago

No SEC implications to repeat it.

10. It is very early

Their fast track in the media is designed to raise investment in their stock.

100 million doses by the end of the year when at least two doses are probably required is 50 million of the 7.5 billion or so on the planet. They project to hit 1.3 billion doses by the end of 2021 (650 million people ... while the rest of the nearly 7 billion in the world look on).

That is all based on medical theory - they haven't proven much yet.
Nor is there any discussion of the side effects of this vaccine which can't possibly be known properly by the end of October.

This is a stunt to raise money and help fool folks into supporting Trump.

11. I Hope More Than 1 Company Will Be Making and Distributing The Vaccine n/t

[Jarqui]

14. A lot of them that did such a thing are gone in North America

India is prepping a bunch on spec

I guess it all depends on the $ - whether the world will be held for ransom or not.

12. ****ANOTHER**** Pharma CEO playing with words regarding vaccine, fuck them and their stocks
