Vaccine in October ?

The CEO of AstraZeneca, a major pharmaceutical company, says the $1Billion investment by the US Government will allow them to gear up to have 100 million doses of a vaccine by this October and another 200 million in December. They are already testing their vaccine on thousands of volunteers in the U.K.
Could he be full of shit ? Sure. But, someone believes enough in this to hand him $1 Billion to set up the manufacturing process.

News: Every major news outlet reporting factually on a billion dollar investment in a critical medicine
Still clickbait
We pay $1 billion to get a $ 20 Trillion Economy fully open a year early and save thousands of lives. With that kind of return, we should invest $1 Billion on every viable vaccine in the pipeline.
All the so called vaccine experts I've seen in the news almost outright scoff at the idea a vaccine will be available this year.
it’s exactly what I said
CLICKBAIT
Neither is a presidential candidate telling me whether I'm black or not by who I support at the ballot box.
What do you mean it's not news!!! You mean I’m NOT going to stay this color? AAAAAAAAAAAHHH…
lolololol at that Crazy Uncle Joe. What a buffoon… hahahahaha…idiocracy indeed

Moderna execs dumped nearly $30 million of stock after news of promising coronavirus vaccine
Article by William Haseltine, former Harvard Med school professor:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
"Moderna’s claim of favorable results in its vaccine trial is an example of ‘publication by press release"
"Private companies, governments and research institutes are holding news conferences to report potential breakthroughs that cannot be verified. The results are always favorable, but the full data on which the announcements are based are not immediately available for critical review. This is "publication by press release,” and it’s damaging trust in the fundamental methods of science and medicine at a time when we need it most."

There is nothing newsworthy about a pharmaceutical company looking into a vaccine for this coronavirus

"Antimalaria drugs didn’t help patients fight Covid-19, while raising the risk for heart problems and death, a new study analyzing real-world use of the medicines reported.
Coronavirus patients taking chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine didn’t fare better than patients who received other treatment, according to the study published online Friday by the journal The Lancet. At the same time, use of the pills appeared to raise the risk the heart would beat irregularly and more rapidly than normal—and of dying in the hospital, the study said."
And I say supposedly because I don’t believe him not one drop that he is actually taking this medication he’s a liar about everything why not this as well
An international poll of more than 6,000 doctors released Thursday found that the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine was the most highly rated treatment for the novel coronavirus.
The survey conducted by Sermo, a global health care polling company, of 6,227 physicians in 30 countries found that 37% of those treating COVID-19 patients rated hydroxychloroquine as the “most effective therapy” from a list of 15 options.
Of the physicians surveyed, 3,308 said they had either ordered a COVID-19 test or been involved in caring for a coronavirus patient, and 2,171 of those responded to the question asking which medications were most effective.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave chloroquine and its next-generation derivative, hydroxychloroquine, emergency-use authorization Monday for treating the novel coronavirus, although the drug was already being used off-label by some doctors and hospitals for COVID-19 patients.
The survey also found that the most commonly prescribed treatments are analgesics (56%), azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%).
Azithromycin, known by the brand name Zithromax or Z-Pak, was rated the second-most effective therapy at 32%, followed by “nothing,” analgesics (including acetaminophen), anti-HIV drugs and cough medicine.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave chloroquine and its next-generation derivative, hydroxychloroquine, emergency-use authorization Monday for treating the novel coronavirus, although the drug was already being used off-label by some doctors and hospitals for COVID-19 patients.
The survey also found that the most commonly prescribed treatments are analgesics (56%), azithromycin (41%) and hydroxychloroquine (33%).
Azithromycin, known by the brand name Zithromax or Z-Pak, was rated the second-most effective therapy at 32%, followed by “nothing,” analgesics (including acetaminophen), anti-HIV drugs and cough medicine.
Hydroxychloroquine, which is sold under the brand name Plaquenil, was prescribed mainly in the United States for the most severe cases, but not so in other countries.
“Outside the U.S., hydroxychloroquine was equally used for diagnosed patients with mild to severe symptoms whereas in the U.S. it was most commonly used for high risk diagnosed patients,” the survey found.
The 30 nations surveyed included those in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, as well as Australia. No incentives were provided to participate in the poll, conducted March 25-27, according to Sermo.
MAY 22, 2020
So far, studies looking at hydroxychloroquine use before or early in infection haven’t produced any of the heart rhythm problems seen in studies of seriously ill patients. “When used alone, we’re not seeing major issues,” says Sarah Lofgren, an infectious disease doctor at the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis, where researchers are testing hydroxychloroquine’s ability to prevent COVID-19. “Out of our thousands of patients, we’re not seeing things people are quite concerned about, particularly the heart arrhythmias.”
Here's the largest study through early May, 1500 patients, showing no impact on intubation or death: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
Here's the largest study to date, 100,000 patients, published May 22 -- so the sciencenews article you cite did not have access to it at time of publication. This study confirms no efficacy against covid19, but DOES show a positive correlation between hydroxychloroquine and death (that is, it's not only not helpful, it's mildly harmful): https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lance…
When controlled for confounders, treatment with hydroxychloroquine is associated with increased risk of death, and "independently associated with an increased risk of de-novo ventricular arrhythmia during hospitalisation."

The beauty of this position is that 25 doesn’t need to understand any of the issues or facts. He just needs to repeat one of his stock answers. Fake news. Talking point. Fucking fat fuck Trump.
Now that I think about it, maybe 25 is a Russian bot. Anywhere that Trump’s name appears, you just insert a random anti-Trump catchphrase.
Nothing about your posts suggests any true understanding of the facts or the ability to process those facts.
Your response had nothing to do with this, other than to claim it wasn’t newsworthy.
Then, you went on a tangent about Moderna ( which has 8 volunteers ) and claims of pump and dump. This may be true, but has nothing to do with my original point about AstraZeneca.
And, you got in some catchphrase zingers about Trump. That was the first political reference in this thread.
I doubt you’ll understand this, but your posts seldom follow a rational pattern. You didn’t address the issues in the original post. I don’t know if this is because you aren’t very bright or have some variation of Tourette’s syndrome where you just type random thoughts from a cardfile of insults.
