Russian COVID vaccine - published results

[Moses]

Russians today declared "at least 92% efficiency": only 20 sick from 16000 in trial of Sputnik-V.

As per Reuters

That is significantly lower than the 94 infections in the trial of a vaccine being developed by Pfizer Inc

For those who are interested, the first results of Russia’s Sputnik COVID-19 vaccine have been released showing 92% efficacy from a small sample

It is OK what you remind to members about efficacy of Sputnik-V in 11 days after news has been released, I just don't understand why you call sample small? Gamaleya 16000 of 40000, Pfizer 22000 of 44000, Moderna 15000 from 30000.

So, Sputnik-V small group and Moderna tiny group?

Curious to be adding as news the "first results" of 92% directly below a post which announced exactly the same thing 11 days previously! Too busy chasing Moses around the board to notice. Do keep up!

Novichok is always at the forefront of many minds whenever Russia’s undoubted skills in drugs are mentioned.

Do you want to push me by this sentence to express my sorry to brainwashed?

An interesting policy difference to the UK, where the vaccine will be prioritized as below (in order of priority).

Residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
All those 80 years of age and over; frontline health and social care workers
All those 75 years of age and over
All those 70 years of age and over; clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
All those 65 years of age and over
All individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
All those 60 years of age and over
All those 55 years of age and over
All those 50 years of age and over

One thing I read recently, Moses, is Russian advice about avoiding alcohol at vaccination time. Anna Popova from the Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Human Wellbeing said to quit alcohol 2 weeks before the first vaccination shot and abstain until 3 weeks after the booster shot. Alexander Ginsburg who helped develop Sputnik V said drinking alcohol after getting vaccinated can impair the immune response and could even render the vaccine ineffective

Here are a lot of people who wants to be in news. Everyone tells "something" "from the middle finger". In official leaflet what they give to people and on official sites is noted "24 hours before injection and 72 hours after injection"
