The one that will link us to 5G...

That's how Bill Gates will know what we're thinking? Or something...

Which vaccine has the microchips in it?

Damn, see I would feel really reluctant to take a vaccine that has been tested on 5 people. I thought maybe a trial would be a few hundred? Maybe a thousand?

I had no idea that gave it to 15,000 people as a test! That's a bit more reassuring. Thanks for the link.

I'm no maths genius, but 94.5% effacacy would mean 4.725 people didn't get the 'rona after taking it, wouldn't it?

How'd they figure that out?

BBC explains it better Moderna: Covid vaccine shows nearly 95% protection - BBC News

The trial involved 30,000 people in the US with half being given two doses of the vaccine, four weeks apart. The rest had dummy injections.
The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms.
Only five of the Covid cases were in people given the vaccine, 90 were in those given the dummy treatment. The company says the vaccine is protecting 94.5% of people.
The data also shows there were 11 cases of severe Covid in the trial, but none happened in people who were immunised.

To get the exact figure you'd have to know how many participants in each group, it might not be the same. I haven't seen how many, not sure if that information is out there.

May be more information on this link -

Apparently Matt Hancock said several months ago that there was no need to order any of this one because the government would do a much better job of creating a vaccine anyway, or something equally dumb

No Tory MP was and is linked to Moderna more likely.

An interim analysis released on Monday, and based on 95 patients with confirmed Covid infections, found the candidate vaccine has an efficacy of 94.5%. The company said it now plans to apply to the US regulator, the Food and Drug Administration, for emergency-use authorisation in the coming weeks. In the trial, 90 of the patients received the placebo with the remaining five the vaccine.

I just wonder how much the US general public will have to pay to be vaccinated.

A bit more than we did to get Boris laid.

I just wonder how much the US general public will have to pay to be vaccinated.

This is why the Oxford vaccine (or any other one) that is cheap is needed. We need most of the world vaccinated not just the wealthy.
