Good Morning Coffee Friends!
This morning I've been on the go and too busy to read much news or check accounts, but I did some research that had been done on the Covid vaccines - in which the one released and approved by India never went through stage III testing - but they decided they were a little behind the ball with the US and UK and China so they approved it anyway.
The CDC also very quietly changed their own guidelines on New Year's Day for the US that while they had said those choosing or forced to get the untested for long term safety, unproved, rushed-through, billions of dollars money makers for big pharma current Covid vaccines (that are worthless because the Covid-19 virus is constantly changing and evolving into other strains) should only get the double dose of the same vaccine (you need 2 doses supposedly to be effective) now can 'mix and match' vaccines for your second dose. Completely 100% what they had just mandated before. You know, much like the willy-nilly mandates that they've released that completely went against the previous mandates through all of 2020 and left everyone completely perplexed as to what the truth is.
But, back the India thing I mentioned before getting sidetracked again....
"The approval of a vaccine without phase III data is “unconscionable,” says Vineeta Bal, an immunologist at India’s National Institute of Immunology. It also seems to ignore guidelines from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), the authority helmed by Somani, which stipulate that vaccine makers must show a minimum efficacy of 50% in a phase III trial for their vaccines to be approved, says Gagandeep Kang, a microbiologist at the Christian Medical College in Vellore and a board member of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. “They provided the guidance and then went against their own guidance,” Kang says “I don’t know what made them do this.”
FYI: The AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, produced by the Serum Institute of India (SII) under the name Covishield
