dTalThat's pretty good!00:26
de-factoi would not have expected such good results from a protein based vaccine00:27
de-facto"NVX-CoV2373 contains a full-length, prefusion spike protein made using Novavax’ recombinant nanoparticle technology and the company’s proprietary saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant. The purified protein is encoded by the genetic sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein and is produced in insect cells. It can neither cause COVID-19 nor can it replicate, is stable at 2°C to 8°C (refrigerated) and is shipped in a ready-to-use00:30

de-facto"The study enrolled more than 15,000 participants between 18-84 years of age, including 27% over the age of 65. The primary endpoint of the UK Phase 3 clinical trial is based on the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate or severe) COVID-19 with onset at least 7 days after the second study vaccination in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline."00:31
de-facto"The first interim analysis is based on 62 cases, of which 56 cases of COVID-19 were observed in the placebo group versus 6 cases observed in the NVX-CoV2373 group, resulting in a point estimate of vaccine efficacy of 89.3% (95% CI: 75.2 – 95.4). Of the 62 cases, 61 were mild or moderate, and 1 was severe (in placebo group)."00:31

de-facto"Preliminary analysis indicates that the UK variant strain that was increasingly prevalent was detected in over 50% of the PCR-confirmed symptomatic cases (32 UK variant, 24 non-variant, 6 unknown). Based on PCR performed on strains from 56 of the 62 cases, efficacy by strain was calculated to be 95.6% against the original COVID-19 strain and 85.6% against the UK variant strain [post hoc]"00:31

LjLcharlie-french-w: most definitely, pregnant women should not get the vaccine since during the trials it wasn't tested on pregnant women. That's why most drugs say to avoid using during pregnancy, because they simply weren't tested in that situation.01:06

LjLhm first comment on reddit: "This data shows 60% efficacy against the SA variant. Is there any reason to believe that we may see equally poor efficacy (poor compared to the overall 89.3%) on the SA variant from the Johnson and Johnson vaccine?"01:10
LjLon the other hand i think the people who keep stating things like https://np.reddit.com/r/COVID19/comments/l7aecn/novavax_covid19_vaccine_demonstrates_893_efficacy/gl5qi7c/?context=3 are somehow failing to get something that seems obvious to me, i.e. that a vaccine with the 60% efficacy would have zero, zero chance of getting a population anywhere near herd immunity. just because the FDA and EMA etc have established 50% as the minimum threshold doesn't 01:12
LjLmean that anything even slightly above 50% is "good"01:12

LjLcan't really the actual data01:54
bin_bashLjL: i accept that lol I have some annoying medical anxiety that puts questions like that in my head, but fortunately the rational part is bigger and more powerful and slaps it down01:55
bin_bash"No, bin, you can't get covid via the internet" *slap*01:55
LjLheh01:56
LjLmy health anxiety is mostly why this channel exists as such :P01:56
bin_bashfair lol01:57
bin_bashI have to say though, LjL, I'm glad this and the other channel are here01:57
bin_bashand even though we had a few misunderstandings i'm glad that we're friends now (or whatever it is on irc)01:58
LjLthanks01:59
LjLi think i got preeeetty close to thinking about banning you01:59
bin_bashi know01:59
LjLbut on the other hand i understand throwing tantrums, i throw tantrums01:59
bin_bashi had to like change how i say things and be less abrupt01:59
bin_bashi tend to be really direct and abrupt and sometimes i guess combative without realizing it02:00
LjLyeah, successful communication is a large number of small compromises :P02:00
bin_bashyeah :)02:00
bin_bashplus it's a very emotional time, and a very emotional issue02:00
bin_bashbut i really value this channel and the other, so i try to not be so aggressive although soemtimes it still does happen after built up frustrations02:01
LjLyes you come across as combative. even if you aren't that sets the stage for escalation. i know someone who is jarring in a different way, doesn't answer things unless he feels he has something relevant to answer. i rationally understand his point of view but we haven't talked for weeks just because at some point i simply thought he didn't want to talk. simple things like "oh", "interesting", or i could make a thousand example... he thinks it's redundant 02:01
LjLbut they have a reason to be02:01

LjLnot really the same, just another example of slightly flawed communication i had in mind02:02
bin_bashyeah, i know someone like that too. and it has been pointed out to me that i'm abrupt and stuff02:02
bin_bashyueah i know what you mean :)02:02
bin_bashbut i really do try to own when ive lost my temper and apologize02:03
dTalTruly the pandemic has brought us all closer together02:04
LjLi "ragequit" this channel a couple of times, and simply came back without saying anything after a while. apparently that was childish enough to make tinwhiskers leave and take away his bot and stuff.02:04

bin_bash:P02:05
dTal(I am kidding but also serious) :p02:05
LjLin fact, i'm not *allowed* to go that far02:05
bin_bashalso LjL i think there are cultural and language barriers that sometimes get in the way without realizing02:05
dTalHey, none of us are immune to losing our temper or doing childish things, including tinwhiskers02:05
LjLyeah, i know i'm italian as fuck when i get mad02:05
bin_bashlike the whole dental dam thing. in the US theyre really largely known as a safe sex thing even though dentists do use them02:05
LjLoh lord02:05
bin_bashi wasnt trying to be a dick or gross or anything02:05
LjLno, you were just wrong :P02:06
bin_bashbut i can totallky see how it came out that way02:06
bin_bashyeah02:06
dTal....I won'task02:06
bin_bashlol02:06
LjLdTal, do ask your dentist whether they use dental dams, though02:06
LjLit's important02:06
bin_bashtl;dr i thought they were only really a safe sex thing, turns out that outside the US theyre commonly used as actual dental instruments and i looked like a foolish idiot02:06
LjLalso, might help against passing COVID! (not tested)02:06
bin_bashyeah if i have to go to the dentist ill definitely request one 02:07
LjLthey're commonly used in the US too, just not by dentists that are bad02:07
bin_bashbut ive been putting off routine dental02:07
dTalwait, why should I ask that02:07
bin_bashi mean pre-covid most dentists in the US didnt use them02:07
dTalalso I don't have a dentist, yay NHS02:07
bin_bashnow i dont know, i havent been to the dentist in a year :(02:07
bin_bashi dont know if my dentist is even doing cleanings02:07
LjLdTal, the NHS covers you meaningfully for dentistry? here, if i have a dental problem that i want the SSN to solve, they'll give me an appointing in 6 months when the tooth has to be pulle02:08
bin_bashthey havent called me so im inclined to think theyre not02:08
dTalI can't remember ever going to the dentit02:08
LjLdTal, that explains the UK fame of bad teeth maybe ;(02:08
dTalLjL: no, it was a sarcastic yay, that's why I haven't been02:08
LjLah02:08
LjLdTal, anyway, "why should I ask that" - let me give you an example, while a really sloppy dentist i sadly had for a while was doing a root canal on my now-lost molar, he almost dropped a nice pointy piece of metal into my throat. it fell at the base of my tongue and his assistant carefully removed it, but i could see they were both very tense and were telling me like "don't move a muscle"02:09
dTaloh yikes02:09
LjLdoing stuff while having a dental dam avoids those incidents as well as simpler things like saliva contaminating your root canal, which can mean you lose your tooth later02:10
LjL(in my case i suspect i eventually lost the tooth because that initial root canal and connected restoration was done sloppily... it took a few years but, recently, the tooth just broke apart and had to be pulled)02:10
dTalthat's absurd then that it's not standard02:10
dTaldentistry is weird02:10
bin_bashive never had anything dropped into my mouth *knock on wood*02:10
dTalimagine if you had to ask your surgeon if they wore a mask02:10
LjLdTal, i believe younger dentists are all taught to use it here. older ones, and ones that are sloppy, are another matter02:11
LjLdTal, the other thing i remember about that dentist, which is what made me just ask to be seen by another one (in the same practice, just because it's the one i've gone to since i was a child, but the original dentist died...) was that he was doing dental work on me while talking on the phone about his yacht or some shit. and nope, not hands-free.02:12
Speclol, ridiculous02:12
bin_bashwow02:12
bin_bashthat's crazy02:12
LjLSpec, see who pops up when it's time to ridiculize italian practices! :P02:13
jacklswthen some people will say dentists are not doctors02:13
dTalThat sounds like a nasty comedy sketch02:14
LjLjacklsw, well, dentists are not medical doctors *anymore* here... they used to be, but now they have their own course of studies02:15
LjLthe past couple of days the Matrix bridge has been a bit beyond ridiculous :\02:15

LjLbin_bash, well, when dentists were MDs here, they'd have to attend medical school *and then* dentistry specialization... it's not like they could be dentists just because they were doctors02:18
bin_bashahh interesting02:19
bin_bashthere are oral surgeons here and they have to go to medical school02:19
bin_bashor they do like a bridge type program02:19
bin_bashintegrated i think it's called?02:19
bin_bashnot sure02:19
LjLi don't know about that. but in fact very few MDs here simply get their medical degree and then start working... i think even to be a GP you have to do a mini-specialization as a GP. not entirely sure. but *at best*, you could be a GP, without a specialization02:21
jacklswworst thing here is to read any medical advise from webmd02:24

DocScrutinizer05arguably it's implicit in 5.4.17:44
DocScrutinizer05whatever the legal situation, the "at no profit or loss" approach makes AZ pretty much immune against any leverage by EU, and in real life it's about getting doses from GB to EU which I bet BoJo will forbid17:49
DocScrutinizer05the question is if AZ hadn't been obliged to report much earlier and more detailed about progress, expected yield and risks/CI of such forecasts, to allow EU for pulling 5.4. options17:57
