Double donuts today... Active Cases even beginning to come down!
Snake_Baker posted a link to the Weinstein/Heyling podcast earlier in some thread and it repeated something i'd heard rumours of earlier about this. That when the trial was completed with a smaller dose as the first or second dose the effectiveness was up around 90% as well.Scientists call for pause on AstraZeneca vaccine rollout
The Australian and New Zealand Society for Immunology says the AstraZeneca vaccine may not be effective enough to generate herd immunity.www.theage.com.au

The argument Brett W made for this makes some sense, it was simply that the immune response to the higher dose of vaccine compromised the immune response to the virus. So theoretically that could be a short term issue and that after a while the vaccine increases its effectiveness. But who knows really.

Basically correct, but it's still just theoretical.
Will you know what it is for when its done?The vaccine trial I am on has cohorts on 5mg and 25mg. I assume they are looking to test for that effect.
Will you know what it is for when its done?
I know what it is for. It is another Covid vaccine using more traditional methods but still with some new techniques in the way they attach the protein spike (Snake_Baker would understand that far more than I do). Basically it is RNA versus MRNA which is what the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are. This would be far cheaper to produce and only require normal refrigeration. It would be a good candidate for the developing world.
Speaking to the guy who manages me in the trial yesterday they should be able to tell me whether I am on the placebo, 5mg dose, or 25mg dose soon as the role of the placebo cohort is pretty much over after they track any side effects for two weeks. After that, they are tracking the immune response and there is no way the placebo can impact on that.
What have you actually taken, and what analysis was done prior to treatment?
Did they draw and analyse blood serum?
Two injections.
They did a full batch of blood tests and a health check before starting and they draw more blood at each appointment for the shot. Then I have regular follow up appointments where they will draw more blood.
What is the vaccination?
Covid 19 RNA based vaccination. Stage 2 trial.
Okay, do you have a paper for it? Any idea about it's sequence or mode of operation?
It's probably not publicly available if it's still only phase II.
I assume it's a similar spike sequence insertion template to others that are available..
No. The way they explained it to me was that this company had developed a new way of binding the protein spike from the coronavirus to the other components of the vaccine. So my understanding was that it was an upgraded version of the old vaccine methodology rather than a completely new approach. I am not that knowledgeable about science so not sure if I was asking the right questions.
