  1. I think this one seems better because of price, supply chain issues because normal fridge temperature, number of doses being available much quicker with it already being manufactured in multiple countries by different companies.

  2. It's reported the same way on astrazeneca website, they are not "marketing" it in the same way the US companies are, given the really small numbers from all trials I wouldn't take any of them as accurate. But it's enough to say they are good enough given the urgency in some countries.

  3. That's the approximate effectiveness of the flu vaccine and people take that. Also the sample sizes are small but it seems a half dose followed by a full dose may be 90% effective based on the limited data so far.

  4. They all can have different meanings on their own so need to be in a sentence to identify the particular meaning that is or is most likely meant. To give an example Ebola is less efficient at killing people than COVI SARS2 in a modern society. You can see the efficiency is at a societal level not an individual level and has a very different meaning. So a slightly different sentence where I still use the same word but different reference. Ebola is far more efficient at killing an infected individual than COVI SARS2. Both statements are true but if you aren't concentrating or thinking about what has actually been said you might get the wrong idea , infact the opposite idea to reality.

  5. Data seems ok for now and no reports of any severe adverse effects in any of them. I agree waiting a bit longer is better.

  6.  @mikewolf8909  Emergency use is only where these vaccines are at now which by itself means we don't guarantee this yet , I am in Australia and there will be no emergency use. The date we are being given for starting to use vaccines is March and I am thinking that part of the time frame is that's the earliest these vaccines can get full approval. So only trial approvals now but Australia is no good for phase 3 trials because no cases. For some countries including the US I think emergency use is appropriate but not ideal of course.

  7. That's what Trump said in an interview. It is quite funny though.
