- Scoundreller 6y agoThat's especially bad given that the Oxford/AstraZen vaccine has the most permissible storage requirements (basically, fridge temps, not -20C or colder for the mRNA vaccines).

- twoslide 6y agoThis story has been picked up by a lot of media, but really lacks essential information (what does "far less" know). All we know is N=2000 (splot ~50/50%), and no one was hopitalized with COVID in the treatment group. We don't know how many cases occured in each group, and whether these cases were the SA strain.
