Has The Oxford Vaccine Be Hyped?

Astra/Zeneca’s share price has plummeted on fears that the vaccine will not be licensed for use in the USA.

Investors are doubting the results.
AZ originally claimed 70% effectiveness. That was bumped up to 90% on the results from two doses. But that turns out to have been done by error. A more clinical test of Brazilians only gave a 62% result.
There was criticism that the trial did not test on any older people, anyone over 55 was excluded.

62% is still impressive, but a third less than the other two. Have we been slightly misled?

It's entirely appropriate to scrutinise the results, although it's worth noting that *all* drug companies so far have only announced preliminary vaccine studies. It's more important to back a vaccine that works than a vaccine that's made here. Given the choice, I want to see the Astra/Zeneca one working, not least because it will be the cheapest, offered...

TTT, yes I am.
// As the Regulators knew about the error At the time and it was also reported by the media, what is the problem?//

because it is a thing about validity of the experiment
and a regulator cant repair that by saying - o that doesnt matter we will take it as valid

crikey I need a double lie down the both ummm agreed with me on one thread and TCL on this one!
PP, I was replying to the claim they had not disclosed a dosing error.

I wasn't making a comment about the accuracy or efficacy.
er yes OK...
There's no, "er yes" about it.

Woofgang, they must have sussed that one out now. Just tried it without success. It's worked lots of times in the past. Gits!
Skunk. I know one of the Oxford professors. I promise you she would never lie and never hype. She is way above that and far too dedicated to creating, as she said, "a vaccine for the world".

//There's no, "er yes" about it.//
er there is - but you may not get it

how was the mistake made ? and does the "how" affect what was done/achieved ? Yup, mistaking with intent is different to an oops.

and were as a report suggests - the half dose labelled as full dose?
big deal about quality control if that answer is yes - how did it occur and will it occur again. "hope not!" is not enough

what wd I do if it happened to me ? 1)go upstairs put a pillow over my head and suck my thumb
2)realise that I should have personally vaccinated all 140 000 participants before realising I cdnt.
3) said to the lucky under-injectors - do you have any idea what you have just done? and wait for the three legged replies like "foo yeah well I doan fink it is that bad. do you know how much they pay us?"

they are thinking about doing the large scale trial - - - again
how can you have answers removed on a vaccine thread?
PP, clear my attempt to explain my response has failed.

I will try again.

SUNK posted, "No they didn’t disclose the half dose/Full dose was a mistake and due to a manufacturing error. "

I then posted a quote from the BBC's website stating the Regulator had been made aware of the lower dose being used and the trial could continue.

I was providing evidence to contradict the claim that the error had not been disclosed and that was all.

I was not commenting about whether the trial was valid, whether it should have continued or any other aspect of the trial, I was statng the error had not been kept secret.
yeah yeah - look I have said OK
you re right - you re right for chrissakes
TCL, good luck trying to reason with PP.
...He's Learning dis, has very little comprehension of what's happening, you'd have more chance with gulliver.
"you re right" is hard to understand ?
it is only two words for chrissakes - but hey as someone said -
this is AB!
