Hopefully there is more better scientific data on this vaccine before rushing it to top of HN and judgement. I am not sure how to explain 90% immunity from a disease in scientific language, because there are only two states a person get infected with COVID-19 or does not get infected with COVID-19. Not sure how this vaccine will make a person 10% infected and 90% not infected with COVID-19.
This is one of the vaccine Trump referred to in his debate, not sure how much it’s really useful or its another one like Sputnik and Coronavac.
I think the best details for Corona related vaccine efforts are from WHO. [1]

- mattzito 6y agoIt’s a 90% reduction in cases in a vaccinated population vs unvaccinated. Basically how good is the vaccine at preventing symptomatic infection upon exposure
- lettergram 6y agoReal question I have is how well the study was conducted AND how long immunity lasts. Even if both were good here... we won’t have the vaccine widely available until mid to late next year.
- rsynnott 6y agoThis was developed by a German company and will be widely distributed in the EU if approved, so will have to be approved by both the FDA and EMA. Now, if the FDA passes it and the EMA says 'no', that would be reason for concern, potentially, but assuming both bodies pass it that should be good enough for most people.
