24.01.2022 SARS-CoV-2 #Vaccines: Much Accomplished, Much to Learn - A nice summary article. Over the next weeks and months, physicians will face questions regarding the science, safety, and efficacy of the first wave of #COVID19 vaccines to be authorized and distributed. (Annals of Internal Medicine, 19 Jan 2021) Source in comments.

22.01.2022 Rogue #antibodies could be driving severe #COVID19: Evidence is growing that self-attacking ‘autoantibodies’ could be the key to understanding some of the worst cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection. (#Nature, 19 Jan 2021) Source in comments.

18.01.2022 Infographic: Mutation of SARS-CoV2 - current variants of concern - the three current #COVID19 #variants of concern detected in the UK, South Africa, Brazil and Japan. (#ECDC, 21 Jan 2021) Source in comments.

15.01.2022 #Pfizer or #Moderna #mRNA #vaccine-elicited antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants encoding E484K or N501Y or the K417N:E484K:N501Y combination was reduced by a small but significant margin. mRNA vaccines may need to be updated periodically to avoid potential loss of clinical efficacy.

14.01.2022 In terms of efficacy, the #Pfizer #vaccine protects 94.5% of people from developing #COVID19. The #AstraZeneca shot protects 70% of people on average still pretty good and on par with the protection given by a flu vaccine in a good year. While the Pfizer vaccine was more protective in clinical trials, the AstraZeneca vaccine has other advantages that could make it more appropriate for use outside of clinical trials: - we can make the vaccine here in Australia, so we’re not ...dependent on a supply-chain from overseas - we can ship and store it easily at normal refrigeration temperatures, while the Pfizer vaccine requires temperatures below -70C - we can administer it more easily, potentially in GP offices.

03.01.2022 From bench to bedside: The first two #vaccines proven to be effective for inhibiting #COVID19 illness were both #mRNA, achieving 95% efficacy (and safety) among 74,000 participants (half receiving placebo) after intramuscular delivery of two shots, 34 weeks apart.
