  • I thought it might be helpful to have a separate topic related to the vaccine.  If this is too much duplication, mods please delete this thread.  I thought it would be good to talk about who can get the vaccine, where they can get it, what side effects people are seeing, and in general what is going on with distribution.

    The CDC has published vaccine distribution guidelines, and if you care, they are worth reading.  They are dividing the timeline into:

    • Phase 1 - Potentially limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses available
    • Phase 2 - Large number of vaccine doses available
    • Phase 3 - Sufficient supply of vaccine doses for entire population

    Who you are will determine if you are eligible for a vaccine in the various phases.

    Phase 1 is divided into a Phase 1a and a Phase 1b:

    • Phase 1a - Mostly healthcare workers
    • Phase 1b - Other essential workers, people with higher risks, people over 65

    If you are eligible to get the vaccine and they have in in stock and you want to get it, it is important to go get it.  Both of the first two vaccines can spoil, so if a dose is sitting there and you aren't there to get it, they might have to throw it away.

    Both vaccines require two shots.  It is important to go get that second shot.

    Who fits in phase 1b and who has to wait until phase 2 might be a sticking point.  The "people in higher risks" category includes a lot of folks, maybe more than you would think might be in that category.  Hopefully we can quickly get to phase 2 so that we don't spend too long arguing about who is or is not in Phase 1b.

    Anyway, I'm interested in everyone's experience with the vaccine and especially getting the word out for those that can go get it, so that every dose ends up in an arm rather than in the trash.

    If someone got their first two shots through some county deal like APH where they don’t inquire about your insurance or take any personal information outside of your name, DOB, and look at your drivers license, could you roll into H‑E‑B or CVS with your insurance and get #3 and #4 as if they were #1 and #2?

    Cousins husband: died Tuesday. Was extremely overweight. 34 yrs old. Wife was vaccinated and is fine.

    Wife's cousin: been in hospital 6 wks. Intubated currently. Not looking good.

    Wife's other cousin: got covid, dealing with it at home. Taking ivermectin. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

    New line from the anti-vax crowd is the government rushed the FDA approval. "Do you know most FDA approvals take five years?"

    This doesn’t exactly answer that, but it does give some interesting timeline data. 
     

    https://www.fda.gov/media/97229/download

     

    I will direct attention to the slide that shows drug discovery at several years and then clinicals at several more, as the vast majority of the timeline. We know that drug discovery was shortened considerably from both the technology available to sequence the virus and the focus on it. 
     

    the IND and NDA review which is the fda’s role in all of this seems to be right in line with their expedited timelines. The only time compression I’m not sure on is the clinicals- I think they were allowed to either jump right to stage 3 or have very abbreviated stage 1 and 2.

    Looks like that gives us 8-10 more months than the non vaxxed.

    Why do drug studies and approval take a lot of time? It costs a shit ton of money, resources, and you do the steps sequentially. And yes, there is a long ass line for the FDA. Covid erased all those obstacles and they did all the steps concurrently. Saves a shit ton of time. Oh, we have unlimited resources, and every scientist in the world can help work on the solution. Yeah. Might speed things up.

    Sick of being sitting ducks here and spouse with J&J gimp shot getting no guidance from CDC or doctor other than to wait and see about booster.  

    One thought, and this relates to FDA approval... once there is adult pfizer approval, a doc can do "off label" use of a drug. I.e. perhaps give an adult 30ug shot to a child. Will many pediatricians do that? I have no idea. Liability concerns, naturally.  If you have 2 kids, maybe they could split a single 30ug dose (so 15 units, the 5-11 cohort study is 10ug) each. But my understanding is that could happen, completely legally, as soon as next week. 

    Now, as someone who may know someone who had a 6th grader who is the same size and development as many other kids in the same grade technically a few months older... I bet there are tens of thousands of folks who have already done it. Maybe one of those folks would come clean to their pediatrician and see if they would provide a reduced child size dosage for the second shot. That's all theoretical mind you. I have heard, sample size of 1, no ill effects were noted after 1 shot.

    Additionally, with FDA approval off-label use would let doc give a J&J based person get a pfizer or moderna.

    Mice are not normally considered a 'tox species'. Part of the preclinical data package in many instances, yes, but at least in oncology they are not used to show toxicity.

    That said, according to the Pfizer EAU memo the non-clinical tox studies were repeat dose studies in rats. Additional studies 'to support safety and efficacy' were in rhesus macaques and mice (so what do I know).
