NJ Gov to COVID about wearing Mask Critics: ‘You Know What's Uncomfortable? When You Die
Moderna's vaccine has a significant advantage over Pfizer's
Moderna'''s vaccine has a significant advantage over Pfizer'''s
Moderna announced this morning that its coronavirus vaccine is 94.5% effective against the virus, making it the second vaccine in the United States to have a stunningly high success rate.
Last week, Pfizer announced that early data show its vaccine is more than 90% effective against the disease.
While the two vaccines appear to have very similar safety and efficacy profiles, Moderna's vaccine has a significant practical advantage over Pfizer's.
Pfizer's vaccine has to be kept at minus 75 degrees Celsius — or about minus 103 degrees Fahrenheit. No other vaccine in the US needs to be kept that cold, and doctors' offices and pharmacies do not have freezers that go that low.
Moderna's vaccine can be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is about minus 68 agrees Fahrenheit. Other vaccines, such as the one against chickenpox, need to be kept at that temperature.
That means Moderna's vaccine can be kept in "a readily available freezer that is available in most doctors' offices and pharmacies," said Dr. Tal Zacks, Moderna's chief medical officer. "We leverage infrastructure that already exists for other marketed vaccines."
Another advantage of Moderna's vaccine is that it can be kept for 30 days in the refrigerator, the company announced Monday. Pfizer's vaccine can last only five days in the refrigerator.
Eventually people are going to realize wearing a mask is an inconvenience, not tyranny.
That's good news. Considering the average time to develop a vaccine we're lucky to find 2 so quickly.
That proves the USA is by far and away the most advanced in medicine. And Trump deserves a lot of credit for cutting thru the red tape and funding. Trump put 2 billion in Moderna. But haters gonna hate. They'd rather hate Trump than give credit.

I think any gov't in power when faced with a pandemic would have been extremely generous in its research grants to biotechnology firms to develop a vaccine as quickly as possible.
Similar actions have been demonstrated by other govt's around the world with work in progress.
If Hillary Clinton was President there is no reason to think she would not have done something similar.
President Trump does deserve credit for making the Federal funds available to Operation WarpSpeed. It will be President Biden who oversees the management and distribution of any vaccines.
Over a million children under 18 have been diagnosed with Covid-19 in the United States since the start of the pandemic, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children's Hospital Association said Monday.
