ryoumawhy extracted02:31
LjLat this pace your mouth will have rotten before you're done. i know it's difficult but i'm not the impatient one, your mouth is02:31
LjLbecause it broke. it basically split longitudinally into two parts *cringe*02:31

LjLi may get an implant for it later, he said it'll depends on how the bone heals, and i suspect it costs an arm and a leg (and a tooth)02:35

KREYREENwhat's going to happen if people administrating the pfizer vaccine keep it in a temperature lower then the -80C? for X amount of time?03:37
BrainstormNew from CNBC Health: (news): FDA approves Pfizer's Covid vaccine for emergency use as U.S. reaches pivotal moment in the pandemic → https://is.gd/aO2oCA03:41
DocScrutinizer05not much?  I wonder why it's called Pfizer vaccine by particularly anglophone press ;-D Is it a tad embarrassing that BioNTech developed BNT162b2 and that's a german company that outsourced production to Pfizer?03:43
KREYREENDocScrutinizer05, Why do you think that not much would happen? I would think that due to it being mRNA vaccine that there would be some unwanted sideeffects ?03:45
de-factoAssuming a specific energy threshold for a chemical bond in the  mRNA molecule to break the decay rate of intact mRNA in such a vaccine in storage would depend exponentially on the temperature03:45
KREYREENso if it was kept at room temperature it would probably became useless right03:46
DocScrutinizer05I didn't hear of side effects from reducing storage temperature from < freezing to << freezing03:46
DocScrutinizer05for anything really03:46
DocScrutinizer05yes, at room temperature it doesn't last a two days iirc03:47
KREYREENi see O.o so probably just efficiency loss?03:47
DocScrutinizer05efficiency of storage, yes03:47
KREYREENof storage?03:47
KREYREENi though efficiency of the messenger to create the immune response03:47
de-factoassuming that the rate at which such energy thresholds occur it probably would be a rate proportional to Exp[ - Energy / k T ] with the Boltzmann constant k03:48
DocScrutinizer05when you got your steak at -18°C it will last maybe a year. At -200°C it just will last a tad longer but no other effects, probably you couldn't tell by any means if it been chilled to -200°C for a week or stored at -18°C03:49
KREYREENwell i am concerned about what happens after exp 03:50
DocScrutinizer05nasically at -20°C all processes pretty much stop (for water based stuff) - further chilling doesn't change anything03:50
DocScrutinizer05basically03:50
DocScrutinizer05after exp?03:51
KREYREENthat's carbon-based afaik (gene-modified RNA)03:51
KREYREENDocScrutinizer05, yep like if you are steak that has been on room temperature for 30 days then you would probably feed really bad after it03:51
DocScrutinizer05look, at cooling things freeze. Once they are frozen there is nothing else that gonna happen at any lower temperature03:52
KREYREENwhy do they want it at 80C then?03:52
de-factoso if we may assume a decay rate of lambda = const * Exp[ -Energy / k T] hence the rate at which the mRNA decays would gove the differential equation dN/dt = - lambda N that could easily be integrated in N(t) = N(t0) Exp[ -lambda t] hence an exponential decay for which the decay constant lambda exponentially depends on the temperature03:52
DocScrutinizer05and the vaccine gets thawed before administration03:52
KREYREENde-facto, i see03:53
KREYREENDocScrutinizer05, how can you be sure that the vaccine gets throwed out before administration?03:53
DocScrutinizer05huh? I said thawed03:54
DocScrutinizer05you can't inject ice ;-D03:54
DocScrutinizer05unfrozen03:54
KREYREENah i see03:54
de-factothat also is the reason that for a specific time the vaccine also could be kept at room temperature (i think it was like 5 days) because in that time the decay would not have decimated too much of the intact mRNA to actually still be functional03:55
KREYREENde-facto, i see O.o but like how can you prevent doctors administrating drugs that were kept at room temperature after the decay or know that the vaccine that you've been given works?03:56
de-factowhen temperature is much lower the biological half life of course also is much longer, hence for example at -80 °C it can be stored like 6 months or such 03:56
DocScrutinizer05on those glass viols the label always has a filed "use until __;__ o'clock" OWTTE03:56
de-factothe cold storage supply chain would have to be ensured by proper measures 03:56
DocScrutinizer05a field to hand write 03:56
KREYREENah true03:57
de-factoi am not sure if they would put temperature indicators onto the labels or such03:57
de-factoprobably would be a good idea to have a color field or such that decays with time just like the mRNA content in the vaccine itself03:58
de-factolike a "indicator" or such03:58
de-factonot sure if they do that though03:58
DocScrutinizer05they should, but then they also should with my trimbow which only lasts 4 months outside fridge but the pharmacy seems not concerned to store in fridge like the label mandates03:58
KREYREENo.o03:59
DocScrutinizer05or was it 8 weeks?03:59
DocScrutinizer05and the pharmacy is only the final node in supply chain03:59
DocScrutinizer05I guess backaging a "OK" made from saltwater ice packed to the vaccine would go a long way, and very lowtech04:01
DocScrutinizer05packaging*04:01
DocScrutinizer05and obvious04:02
de-facto"Although the vaccine can be stored for up to 5 days at standard refrigerator temperatures once ready for use, very cold temperatures are required for shipping and longer storage. The current cold storage requirement may be alleviated by ongoing stability studies and formulation optimization, which may also be described in subsequent reports."04:02

ryoumacould you use saltwater ice instead of whatever they use to cool?04:04

de-factoKREYREEN, do you have a link?04:20
KREYREENde-facto, nope x.x04:21
de-factoi mean we are going to read about the most exotic things happening to people receiving vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 just because of the gigantic number of people receiving it the rarest things will happen. the real question will be how often it happens i.e. if its one anecdotal case or if more people will be affected04:25
de-factoso we should keep an eye on the side effects, but always when we get new information try to find out how often it happens, we really need to look at statistics in order to estimate the relevance for the majority of people04:26
de-factofor example we already now that the mRNA vaccines got quite strong reactogenicity (i.e. reactions), yet also they seem to be able to create very consistent and strong immunity, the data from the BioNTech study looks extremely good04:28
de-factoso the price for effective shots may be that they hurt 04:29
KREYREENI see O.o04:30
KREYREENWhy do they hurt though? because it's a big needle or?04:30
de-factoyet I would always happily take that for acquiring immunity against this nasty virus04:30
de-factono because the immune reaction to the vaccine is strong04:30
de-factoactually that might even be seen as advantage, it works really well04:31
KREYREENi see O.o04:31
de-factolike the results in immunity levels are very consistent, they dont scatter randomly but 95% confidence intervals are quite narrow04:32

de-facto" Immunogenicity is the ability to induce a humoral and/or cell mediated immune response while reactogenicity is the property of a vaccine of being able to produce excessive immunological responses and associated signs and symptoms."04:37
de-factoso both are coupled 04:39

ryoumajust a reminder there are good reasons to decline vaccination also, such as those with known allergies to the ingredients or screwed up undiagnosed immune issues that pose a concern for such things and so on05:18

tinwhiskersWell that's a bit of a shame. NZ has secured enough pfizer vaccine for 750,000 people, and then enough J&J for the rest of the country in 2023, but I'm not a huge fan of the J&J (adenovirus) vaccine.05:23
tinwhiskersErr 202205:23
ryoumawhat is wrong with jj?05:24
tinwhiskersWell it has some good points but being an adenovirus vector people can become immune to the vector meaning it's a one-shot for covid and potentially something else down the track.05:25
tinwhiskersBut better than nothing and it looks to be very effective05:25
euod[m]the australian one that uses the HIV fragments is sort of wild. 05:26
tinwhiskersIf immunity only lasts for six months or a year it may not be very effective next time round.05:26
euod[m]just from the perspective of it causing HIV test false positives05:26
tinwhiskerseuod[m]: they stopped testing that one05:26

tinwhiskersDue to the reason you gave05:27

tinwhiskersmRNA transfer is already known to occur between cells so they have a mechanism for allowing entry.05:29
