Hello people!
I want to talk to you about
Covid-19 vaccine.
Ok?
The one developed by University
of Oxford together with...
AstraZeneca company.
Alright?
Recently they published the results
for the overall efficacy...
of the vaccine.
And...
the number was 70%.
Now, compared to the other two...
with numbers in the reach
of 90% - 95%.
This look bad.
However, it turn out
they made a mistake...
with about three thousand
people volunteers.
And, because they gave to
these people a lower dose...
regim of the vaccine.
So, basically they gave the same
amount of liquid but there was...
less amount of vaccine in
the liquid, it was dilowed.
So, this was a mistake.
But it turns out.
That when you do that in the first
dose and then you give the full...
amount on the second.
It looks like the overall eficacy
rises from 70% to round 90%.
Now, taking into account that this
vaccine is cheaper than the ...
other two, ...
it's in the reach of two, three
euros, than twenty or whatever...
and...
that it can be stored in fridges.
Alright? At fridge temperature...
arround eight degrees positive.
(...) than minus twenty or
minus eighty.
So, of course this... That
all these two characteristics...
make this vaccine much better.
So, the only problem would
be the lower efficacy.
But, if it turns out that the
overall efficacy is actually...
in the reach of 90%.
Then, that's really good.
So, it's looks like they're going
to make new trials now.
But then, of course some people are
saying: "Ahh, if they're making new...
ones is because they didn't do it
alright the first time". And so on.
So, it's tricky.
