Boom: There is a cure

[d000hg]

Freezer (domestic/commercial) at -80 deg c does not exist.

Liquid nitrogen or at a push dry ice storage.

Which are both commonly used/available.

[Pring]

That's why I said domestic/commercial.

Specialist scientific freezers, of course. But makes it a bit more interesting delivering billions of doses to every person on the planet?

Pfizer has designed a ‘thermal shipper’ the size of a carry-on suitcase that stores vaccine vials in dry ice. It can be opened once every five days for no longer than a minute. This report says the vaccine is stable in the fridge for 5 days. Deep freezers and dry ice for Pfizer vaccine may face shortages - Roll Call

I wonder how much they cost?

Vaccine is not a cure

Vaccine is not a cure

It is for the stock market and wealthy banks and hedge funds.

90% is very good tho, gives real chance to achieve herd immunity safely even with ‘tards anti-vaxxers, plusbodes well for other vaccines

Light at the end of tunnel for sure

Ounce pf prevention better than pound of cure

The devil is in the detail of that report. 90% is based on 84 people's stats.

And? it could have been 0% protection and no safety

I’ll take 90% at this stage

Still unclear if that stops infection (neutralises virus) or prevents Covid from developing but people can still infect others

The trouble is, is that it won't be available for people who think immigration is bad and only for EU citizens...

If you want to tell positive stories about immigration, look no further than the BioNTech vaccine: company co-founders Uğur Şahin and Özlem Türeci are both children of Turkish Gastarbeiter who came to Germany in the late 1960s.
