  1. You mean liquid nitrogen probably. Dry ice is -25c

  4. I read an article about it, basically a false alarm because all they say is it reduces symptomatic cases by 90% . So we don't know if everyone still gets it but less symptoms or does it actually reduce the chance of death. If all it's achieving is lower symptoms in people who were at low risk anyway but those at high risk still catch it and die at the same rate then it's achieved nothing. I think we can say though that this and other stage 3 vaccines seem to be safe , so in a way it seems can't do any harm other than the symptoms when you actually receive the vaccine. I am not saying it doesn't work but just pointing out the company doesn't have evidence that it does in the real world .

  5.  @3chords490  there was most likely neither deaths or severe illness in either group because if you take 94 infections and adjust for infection in the average community you will have maybe 3 or 4 in the above 65 age group and out of that maybe one needs hospitalisation. That's my whole point , looks good but the data has only provided anecdotal evidence. Under the circumstances in a high infection country it doesn't matter too much what the efficacy is as long as no harm. In my country Australia we are better to wait for the best vaccine that emerges, in high infection countries if it doesn't hurt and provides some benefit it's probably worth it because improves outcomes , just it is not known by how much.

  6. No it's actually 94 symptomatic cases according to an article. Which indicates it's self reporting rather than everyone gets a weekly test.

  7.  @martinroberts9792  I think the problem is the types of people that are in the trial take precautions otherwise it's in a low infection area. We wait and see i guess but I think it's close to or already proven the vaccine is safe, but real hard evidence of efficacy doesn't exist because the numbers are too small.
