b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 India's Covaxin Covid-19 Vaccine, Already in Use, Shows Promise in Trials - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Interim results from clinical trials suggested that Covaxin could be safe and effective, potentially removing one hurdle to New Delhi’s ambitious campaign to inoculate a vast population. Quote The results from the interim analysis have yet to be peer reviewed, the company said. It was unclear how effective Covaxin would prove to be in a final analysis. Still, the results were met with relief in India. Covaxin had been approved by government officials in January and administered to millions of people before it had been publicly proved to be safe or effective. Many people in India, including frontline health care workers, had feared Covaxin could be ineffective or worse, slowing down New Delhi’s campaign to inoculate 1.3 billion people.

Bold move The thing with Covaxin that seems to get lost is that India's NHO was involved in it's creation and the trials. What does that mean? It means that the Indian government helped make it with Bharat and was involved in it's development, so, India's government and FDA already knew the results (or, at least, how the results were ending for P3) when they started the EUA and people like Modi began receiving it. So, no, not bold at all; they know and have all the data already before the public release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 10 minutes ago, Jason said: Everybody needs to get the vaccine. This is one of the areas of hesitancy that is not primarily political or cultural but merely educational. This is an area where the government can do major work in helping to get vaccination levels up after supply becomes abundant because there will be a lot of people who just assume their infection derived immunity is good enough.

They are not completely protected from reinfection. There are strong reasons to believe the length of time for which infection derived immunity lasts is significantly shorter than vaccine derived immunity for a substantial percentage of the population. The vaccines are really good about getting optimal immune system responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I feel like in the next 4-6 weeks we will have really solid evidence that the risk of transmission by a vaccinated person is so much lower than an unvaccinated person that being unmasked and vaccinated presents less transmission risk than being masked and unvaccinated. As data rolls in, this seems more and more clear. And that’s a good thing because you will definitely have a decent sized group of people who need to be convinced to get the vaccine just on the basis of return to normalcy like not wearing masks.

If they determine that those who are vaccinated transmit Covid at a much lower rate than those who are unvaccinated, does that mean that those who are vaccinated wouldn't be required to wear a mask? I know that's a sticking point for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. One of the best ways to convince some people to get vaccinated is that they won't be required to wear a mask any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's a sticking point for some people. I think that’s what will happen if the data continues to come in that direction. It’s a risk/reward question that governments will have to assess. But young and healthy people are for sure going to be less likely to get the vaccine if they don’t feel a personal benefit, because humanity y’know.

Vaccine hesitancy is highest among White Republicans, which there aren't a ton of relatively here, so I'm really hoping we don't need to use such an absurd tactic.

Incentivizing vaccination has always been a part of getting to herd immunity. If people are allowed to be exempted from wearing masks (if they are vaccinated), then the suburban hog people who are anti-mask are just going to lie and say they have been. Stores aren't going to ask for proof. This is why mask mandates (and restrictions) need to be in place for as long as we can convince people to follow them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
