Remember when other bio companies, such as Pfizer, initially reported the efficacy rates of their covid vaccines? Here's an example.

"Published online 2021 Dec 30

Development of an effective vaccine against Covid-19 is crucial to reducing infection. mRNA BNT162b2, developed and manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech, was one of the first FDA-approved vaccinations reporting high efficacy (95%) and minimal side effects. Evaluating effectiveness of BNT162b2 in a general population has been made possible after the implementation of a nation-wide vaccination program in Israel...

BNT162b2 was found effective for the total population group for infection, hospitalization and mortality, with adjusted VE of 93·0% (CI:92·6–93·4%), 93·4% (CI:91·9–94·7%) and 91·1% (CI:86·5–94·1%) respectively."

We now know that wasn't true.

The latest iteration reports:

"Newest COVID shots are 54% effective in preventing symptoms, CDC finds

The latest versions of COVID-19 vaccines were 54% effective at preventing symptomatic infection in adults, according to the first U.S. study to assess how well the shots work."

So in terms of preventing symptomatic infection, vaccines such as Pfizer's represent a coin toss in preventing symptomatic infection. And remember, there is no approved covid treatment authorized by the FDA for the majority of the US population.

After trillions of dollars in damage to the worldwide economies and health care systems, the best we can do is prevent symptomatic infections about half the time, and hope that we won't need a therapeutic treatment, because the FDA hasn't approved one, such as lenz.

I really hope that Humanigen and Novavax will change the covid prevention and treatment paradigm.
