LjL[Kraken, well, it can't be said for sure since they used more Sinovac thatn Covishield04:04
LjLmaybe i could say "use Pfizer if you want to be sure" is the lesson here :P04:04
[Krakenwhat is known about Sinovac04:05
Hail_SatanPfizer is an incredibly exotic substance, really wonderful success story04:05
LjLi don't know much about it, except that even a Chinese official admitted that Chinese vaccines aren't proving to be very effective, only for the government to later, predictably, claim he had been misinterpreted04:05

Hail_Satanthings can change04:13
[Krakenand was co-opted for Pfizer to make billions so far, or is Pfizer going to now allow a worldwide effort?04:13
Hail_Satanmuch mainstream spotlight in media has been placed on possibilities for mRNA therapies since covid04:13

de-factomRNA tech is based on publicly funded research and startups like BioNTech (Germany) worked for many years on mRNA tech (against cancer) and Acuitas (Canada) on the LNP delivery platforms. Afaik Pfizer was just payed by BioNTech to do the clinical trials and now helps with producing it04:17
[Krakenwhy must the vaccine be kept at -40C or so04:19
de-factobecause RNA is incredibly fragile, not sure about the lipid nano particles (LNPs), but its possible to codon optimize it for some more stable folding and also do some other tricks04:21
de-factoafaik CureVac (another German company working on an mRNA vaccine) was able to stabilize it for 3 months at normal fridge temps04:21
de-factoso probably something like 2-5°C or such04:22
de-factoi think they also use the Acuitas LNPs hence they probably managed to stabilize the mRNA with their technology04:22
de-factoCureVac also does not use nucleoside-modified mRNA, yet not sure if that has anything to do with it04:23

de-factoactually the AstraZeneca Adenovirus vaccine was developed against MERS-CoV originally afaik04:29
de-factothey then used that platform to switch it to SARS-CoV-2 spike-glycoprotein04:29
de-factoso they were working on such vaccines long time before this pandemic already and could use that04:30

[Krakenagain my understanding is they were making great progress, but after SARS went away, the funding was cut way back,04:34
de-factobtw that is why they were able to produce a vaccine in the lab after ~1-2 months when they got the sequence, they could employ pre-existing platforms such as Adenovirus (AZ) and mRNA (BioNTech, CureVac, modeRNA)04:35
de-factothey produced many versions and decided via trials which one of their versions would make it04:36
[Krakenseems like 2% of the world has received any vaccine? and this is going to be like Polio04:36

finely[m]For these annual treatments, Pfizer will be able to charge much more than it does now. The current price for a covid vaccine, D'Amelio noted, is $19.50 per dose.
