From a public health perspective, it's not zero sum. One country fully vaccinated and another equally sized country not vaccinated, leads to higher strain on the healthcare system than both countries 50% vaccinated. Pareto principle ap

A ton got exported in early January, although precise numbers don't seem to be public.

Halix is an independent contractor, AZ is not the owner at all.

For one, AZ doesn’t use the pre-fusion stabilized spike protein in their vector, while the mRNA and J&J vaccines do.

Typically caught in animal trials even, and surely something that would've been caught already with the amount of people already vaccinated.

Same. Had to pirate my own paper once as my institution didn't have a subscription to that specific journal. Zero qualms here about that.

Yeah and so is Ferrari. Wouldn't call them a Dutch company.

No, they don't.

That's not true, ESTAs are being approved as usual.

Netherlands here, I routinely get them back within 8 hours after taking the swab. At work (hospital), we can get them within an hour if it's urgent.

That's true, on the other hand, consider that Moderna has lowered storage requirements twice in the past four months. This gives us three options, Is it Moderna taking more risks, Pfizer being more risk-averse or is the Moderna one inh

Pfizer is spending a considerable amount of money on their cold chain, for example buying up pretty much all ultra-low temperature freezers they can find. I personally doubt they'd still be spending that money if they needed it, there&

My experience with word documents with large number of cross references (think 500+), is that after some time they tend to get 'corrupt' and just don't work correctly anymore. At an old job where we prepared teaching material

I understand what OP meant, but the data we currently have shows that one shot of this vaccine is not likely to convey a decent amount of protection.

The phase 3 only did two shots. Afaik the only one shot vaccine in phase 3 trials is the J&J one. Looking at the phase 1/2 results, the booster shot seems to help a lot in getting the antibody levels up. See Figure 4 of their paper

In this case, Avidemux has a wonderful macOS port.

It happened, but it is not even close to what COVID does. During influenza season, the hospital I work at sometimes cancel elective procedures if it's a particularly bad year for influenza. Luckily influenza season has an end date. Wit

Sensitivity and dynamic range of the human eye is far, far better than any camera sensor you can buy at a reasonable price.

Also stop using locale settings for importing CSVs, or at least make a setting for it. I had to change my PC's locale to English (US) just to decently import CSV files in Excel

You mean healthcare, roads, education and social security for when I lose my job due to COVID? Taxes are nothing new and have always been like that.

I'm sorry to hear that about your wife and wish her all the best. As I'm not a medical professional and don't know your wife's exact situation, I'd say it'd be best to bring it up with your wife's oncologi

That's absolutely right and it's a major problem of this study. There is one caveat though, in the most common ER+ breast cancer, radiological response is more predictive of survival than pCR. And in this study, they do observe a

That could very well be a possibility and something that researchers need to address if they wish to investigate this effect a bit further. We can make some educated guesses based on the supplemental table 3. Looking at the staging, grading

Unfortunately that is far outside my expertise. The study here used a diet that is supposed to mimick the effects of fasting by having a low calorie/protein diet. In the discussion, they say the effects on a growth factor can be measur

The title saying it's a multi-centre phase 2 trial makes it extremely clear. You don't do those in animals.

Interesting study with, as always, a lot of caveats. The most we can take from this is that it's worth to study more, the effect is existing but not extreme. I don't get the submitted title here claiming that it protects from side
