'It Will Never Be Licensed In The US' Analyst Warns AstraZeneca Vaccine Efficacy "Embellished"

[Swordsmyth]

AstraZeneca's announcement that its adenovirus-vector vaccine is roughly 70% effective (which followed an announcement claiming the vaccine is safe and effective in the elderly) failed to impress investors, as Astrazeneca shares tumbled on the news in premarket.

But AZ shares took a second leg lower on Monday when a health-care analyst dropped some damning commentary that has caught the market's attention.

SVB Leerink analyst George Porges said Monday that the company is likely to be roundly criticized for publishing its results without enough data on safety and other factors. The vaccine's (known formally as ChAdOx1) safety disclosure simply stated that "no serious safety events related to the vaccine have been confirmed", as well as for its results, which the company "tried to embellish" by highlighting a reported 90% efficacy in the relatively small sub-set of subjects in the study who received the modified initial vaccination followed by the "full dose" four weeks later.

SVB Leerink analyst Geoff Porges sharply critical of $AZN #Covid19 vaccine, calls announced efficacy results “embellished” and raises questions about safety data disclosures.

Porges predicts the vaccine will never be licensed in U.S.

At the very least, more testing will likely be needed on subjects who receive the half-dose first.

There were a lot less people given the half-dose first. Another full test focusing solely on that dosage needs to be done to verify numbers.

Porges believes that this product will never be licensed in the US due to the design of the company's trials, which don't appear to match the FDA's minimum criteria, and the occurrence of severe safety events that resulted in the extended clinical hold on enrollment in the US (remember when the US put the AZ-Oxford trial recruitment on hold for a month).

The findings, according to Porges, confound his original thesis that "all spike protein vaccines are created equal", which is manifestly not the case now. This raises questions about other adenovirus-vector vaccines, including the Johnson & Johnson's vaccine.

The propaganda machine is in HIGHEST gear. Today on radio news, it was reported that One-Person-Dies-Every-17-Seconds-From-Covid. There is absolutely NO data supporting this. Some people may die having Covid, but those are typically very elderly people with sever pre-existing conditions, should be or are in Intensive Care Units and would not be casually walking around outside.

My Body, My Choice, is no longer part of being American. Privacy between patient and private physician is no longer part of being American. Federal/State is now dictating terms, it knows what is best for you, your children and your family; you no longer have any say whatsoever. The New Norm of Tax Payer Money used to fund Gates-tied companies is forgiven, as we embark upon a Fascist Global Governance.

Ohio "republican" Governor Mike DeWine stated today in a press conference that Pfizer (which merged with GlaxoklineSmith in 2018) vaccines will be deployed within 1 to 2 weeks, Moderna vaccine will deploy 1 week after. DeWine went on to explain that tracking will be implemented in order to ensure that everybody is vaccinated.
