Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Coincidentally, that is word for word what https://www.niaid.nih.gov/diseases-conditions/smallpox said.
The last naturally occurring case of smallpox was reported in 1977. In 1980, the World Health Organization declared that smallpox had been eradicated. Currently, there is no evidence of naturally occurring smallpox transmission anywhere in the world. Although a worldwide immunization program eradicated smallpox disease decades ago, small quantities of smallpox virus officially still exist in two research laboratories in Atlanta, Georgia, and in Russia.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
I think putting up the smallpox vaccine success against covid isn't particularly helpful, especially the eradication aspect.
There are lots of factors away from the vaccine efficacy that enabled it that aren't shared by covid, especially the asymptomatic carriers and even those who do show symptoms being able to spread it before they occur.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
And that's with the UK performing 7 times the rate of tests that Spain is.
Spain also has 10 times as many people in intensive care with Covid than the UK.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
They must be well behaved on the Isle of Wight as well.
Pretty much same population and also 0 in hospital wards and ICU.
Maybe it helps being a small island?

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
That phrase is noticeable by how studiously it's avoided. "Just a little scratch" seems to be the phrase of choice, inaccurate though it is.

That was cleared up quietly, so much for the EU song and dance about suing them.

Re: Pfizer vaccine approved
Brussels knew they were on a hiding to nothing so suing AZ for breach of contract always was a PR exercise. Brussels' tardiness has cost a lot of lives but hey, they're not elected so they can't be got rid of. Nothing new here.Mussels wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 1:52 pm That was cleared up quietly, so much for the EU song and dance about suing them.
