Jigsaw Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 3 minutes ago, Bird Bird Bird said: There are multiple issues with Covaxin approval. No P3 data in public - to some extent, understandable IF the data is out in the next 2-3 weeks AND considering it's already been accepted in a journal. BUT it seems they haven't even got their P1/2 data published anywhere except as a pre-pint, which...anyone can do without oversight. All other vaccines also received approval after submitting P3 data to regulators, but the data was out in public within 2-3 weeks of approvals (since that is likely the smallest publishing cycle with most journals, and even if there was no peer review, there must be an editorial review). They clubbed animal safety data with P1/2 human data, and that was considered for safety purpose, which, frankly, is pretty bullshit. The way these trials were conducted, while not surprising, cast a dubious shadow over any data generated. No ICF, patients paid for AE management etc. Ella is saying they have given Covaxin to 23000 volunteers. AFAIR, they were supposed to recruit 23000 or 26000 volunteers for their P3 trial, so that means none or only a small proportion of the volunteers got placebo. How the heck can you compare results from such vastly different sample sizes, specially efficacy ? How come the protocol was changed midway (protocol said 1:1 randomization for vaccine and placebo) ? The early press releases said they showed interim data of around 190 patients to DCGI. Ella is shouting they showed data of 23000 volunteers to DCGI. What is the truth ? Where is the data ? Currently Ella is saying the data will likely get published by Feb 2021. Let's see. Govt stating that Covaxin is approved for "CT Mode". WTF is a CT mode ? Either you are approved as experimental drug for P3 trials - meaning everyone taking that vaccine HAS to be informed of risk, benefits and HAS to sign an ICF, HAS to be monitored regularly, HAS to have their AE managed by the PI, HAS to have a compensatory policy, and a data interpretation has to be generated after a predefined time period - OR you are approved as a vaccine to be administered in mass AFTER robust P3 data has been submitted, and you do a P4/PMS study to look at other data points, primarily long term safety (observational trial). SII has 2 benefits - their interim data has shown 70% efficacy, and their base data is also helped by global AZ data which shows 62% (full dual dose) or 90% (half dual dose mode) efficacy. So they do have a base to stand on. Both Pfizer and Moderna similarly followed up with publicly published data for anyone to dissect. I know for a fact that one of my relatives (NHS, UK) who got a shot of vaccine (I don't remember if this was Pfizer or AZ) had VERY severe headache for 2-3 days, and had to hit high NSAID doses for relief. His wife was fine though. Every vaccine is a live experiment to some extent now. Oh god no.. not this DLC with the already frequent cluster migraine i have.

Walker Posted January 6, 2021 Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 Lol Goa cops can be freaking cool. Was on my way to town and every car was being checked to make sure everyone is wearing a mask. I'm not sure why a lone traveller in their own car needs to wear a mask but thats what it is. I get stopped, and one uncle behind me as well. I was wearing a mask under my helmet anyway. While I'm showing my papers, uncle is full on pissed. Young cop is telling him that the mask is for his own protection. Bc uncle shouts "You wear condom full day or what?". The cops, me and everyone else nearby were laughing . I swear I think he got off lucky. Any other cop might have given him a quick slap or danda. Good to know that some still have a sense of humor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make this more understandable for everyone, could you expand the following acronyms that I have been confused with on this thread lately? CT Mode ICF AE (after effects?) PI (Principal Investigator?) PMS So, it seems overall the SII Astra-Zeneca vaccine seems more trustworthy than Covaxin so far? Any idea whether someone can know beforehand which vaccine they will get or will it be any of the two at random? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
