Might Have An Emergency Authorization 'Towards The End Of February' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
This company was the one that lost a nearly 2$ billion lawsuit on the drug Risperdyl. I’d go with another company’s vaccine.
What happened to the Covid Death counter?
@TheHopetown You have nothing to do but troll the reply section with your negative comments. Time for your meds and a nap.
@Gwendolyn Williams just pointing out your stupidity, take it anyway you’d like.
@TheHopetown Wrong.
@Alex Mitchell it’s gone fool, you’re wrong..again nothing new.
@TheHopetown Hey moron Trump lover . All the people that are going to die in the next two to three weeks got infected with it when Trump was still president so let’s not start that BS
66% isn’t good enough.
* 86%. But the criteria was stricter and test group *much* larger for this one, than the two mRNA ones out so far.
@pr0xZen *66% globally*
@Constituent A Please look at the criteria. How J&J trial defined “moderate to severe disease”, is completely different to the BioNTech/Pfizer and Moderna trials. J&J trial defined “severe” to mean a degree not in need of hospital or any close medical care. In laymans terms, “home in bed with the flu” as worst case outcome. And literally 100% mitigation of desease worse than that.
I’m glad to have the doctors and scientists out giving us real facts and data. I dont know about you all, but I’m beyond bored with the trolls thinking they have relevant or interesting opinions.
If Biden listen to AOC as I have said before, he will not have to worry about losing the Senate or Congress. He will not have to be concerned about losing the reelection in 2024 to Trump or anyone else.
If Trump would have given out $1200 stimulus checks, he would still be president. People are concerned about alot of things, but putting food on there table and paying there bills is number one, it’s personal. $2000 stimulus checks, or even $1200 stimulus checks a month every month for 6 months at a time then revisiting things to see where we stand, and eliminating ALL student loan debt is a very personal move that will guarantee the Democrats the House, Senate and relection regardless of how everything else turn out.
You aren’t educated enough
Biden isn’t the problem it’s the GOP in the Senate. Even Mitt Romney stated last week no more stimulus checks. The GOP are still trying to push in their, ” no company can be held liable for Covid risks and death.” Now they are trying to hold us hostage over the impeachment trial that they don’t want to have. The GOP doesn’t want you or anyone else to have a free college education. Or free healthcare like the rest of the first and second World countries. Good luck with getting a small stimulus check.
@Jasmany Foch Unfortunately there are enough uneducated that will vote against their best interests because they believe it’s God, Abortion, and Guns.
Nothing on the Gamestop GME stocks, you know, the biggest story in the world right now!
There’s plenty on other videos, and Covid is the biggest story, and has been for a year.
@Deborah Freedman
Covid? Really? 🤦♂️
Biden: “All Americans must wear a mask while on the beach in the dead of winter when the nearest person is over 1000 yards from you.”
congratulations! You have the dumbest comment of the day.
“ALL THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IS COVID, COVID, COVID. ON NOVEMBER 4th, YOU WON’T BE HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT IT ANYMORE. WE ARE ROUNDING THE TURN!!!” DJT 10/27/2020
So they gave placebo to sone instead of the actual vaccine and these were the people that died.
That is how a double blind study works. The control group received a placebo.
How effective is their vaccine against the Brazilian variant, it is more infective than the South African one, and there is a lot of reinfection with it.
I just spent six weeks in Brazil, that “variant” lives in your head. Maybe you should hide in your basement you fear ridden fool.
Run and hide like a scared rabbit.
wow this reporter gets so excited doesnt she? lol thank you to johnson and johnson for getting this vaccine going for the world,please stay safe and dont let anyone steal any of your doses .please? i want to get a vaccine,soon,i dont wanna die,thank you again
How can they be 85% protective against severe infection when 85% of infected people don’t get severe infection anyway? Somebody explain. Please and thank you…
You’ve answered your own question.. Out of that small percentage that would get a severe infection 85% of those would be protected and those people in that small percentage would also be 100% protected from hospitalization ventilation . So… I know what you’re trying to say, that only a small percentage are getting really sick..etc what’s the point? Not everyone are willing to roll the dice is probably the point.
Because you don’t know which infection you will get or give to others. Mask – distance – wash – stay safe.
US have finally caught up with Belgium, China, Russia, UK and India. 6th to market? Warp speed?
Good news
You can still get it again.
I bet you get it twice you fear ridden fool.
You should run and hide
@TheHopetown Is that a threat ?
@TheHopetown Who said I’m fear ridden or a fool by stating this ?? Noone but you so, the shoe could perhaps be on the other foot, hmmm ..lmbo, smh
We don’t even have a cure for the common cold or the flu so all these vaccines that are flying out a year after the virus hit still scares me and I’m not anti-vax.
Can’t wait. Seems the best vacinne
