Realistic vaccine date- end of 2021?

[AsherO]

This was reported several weeks ago https://www.wltz.com/2020/12/29/fda-okay-to-use-extra-dose-from-pfizer-vaccine-vials/

If the whole issue is the special syringe then include one with each vial. Or relax the rules on who's eligible for such doses since they might not even be there.

Any reports of J&J stockpiles?

Reports of production delays (see the NYT link I posted above), so I doubt it.

Well, after last year, they want to make sure everyone's cheesecakes are covered come Shavuos

There have been people who got PCR results for the wrong person, they may have gotten someone elses results.

Especially from the photoshop labs...

Are you following the conversation?

The lady in the mRNA vaccine trial claims she got infected after getting a placebo injected and after testing positive for antibodies. You’re suggesting her antibody test was from a photoshop lab?

My comment was mostly in response to the first part of @avromie7's statement about getting results of other people, not about this specific case (just like @Yehuda57's comment was about J&J cream cheese stockpiles, not about any vaccine stockpiles).

How is this acceptable? Surowiecki is asking all the right questions, and those deserve answers.

I’m seeing this now:

Looks like they expect to have some doses in March or April. June was the original target date for delivery of 100m doses.

Back to talking about 100m doses "by April or so". And data expected soon with EUA approval within a week or two.

With regards to vaccine development and approval, how does this work? Can they adapt the existing vaccine or is that like starting from scratch?

It's the same vaccine, just before they get shipped they spray the plane with an unidentified substance.*

Where can I get this immunity to South Africans?

Any talk of whom these 100m will be allocated to? Can be a game changer if the US gets the bulk of them.

I don’t have patience to look for the original post discussing Gov/private market outsourced production of the Pfizer vaccine, but BH it’s finally happening. I hope Israel uses it macro economic windfall to subsidize and promote some serious local mRNA production & research capacity.

This looks like just bottling the vaccine. Actual production would be amazing, but it's a giant leap from this.
