Newshub provided the following information at the bottom of a long article…
No vaccine has gone from the drawing board to being proven highly effective in such a short period of time.
The vaccine has been tested on 43,500 people in six countries and no safety concerns have been raised.
Some unknowns remain, however, including how long its protective effect might last.
Professor Graham Le Gros, director of Wellington’s Malaghan Institute, said the trial on 43,500 people was carried out at 120 sites around the world and had covered different ethniticies.
Though it was a very good test, vaccines usually need several years of making sure nothing occurs, he said.
“We don’t know whether it stops spread, we don’t know a few other things yet, we just know that people didn’t get sick.
“We know that it should be safe, up ’til now, and we know that it seems to be effective at the best rates that we can expect for a vaccine.
“How long that protective immunity will last for – we don’t know until a few years down the track.”
There will need to be several types of vaccines tried out in global population because it’s not clear yet how long their effect will last, he said.

Although, returning Kiwis are providing a sugar hit to the economy we did not predict.
-
We have stated that immigration provides poor long term economic growth and can lower wages and living standards.
-
Will NZ have enough money to wait out the availability of a vaccine which is proven to be safer than catching the virus?
-
Or will the money last just long enough for Adern to hand over to Robertson and sail off into the international sunset?
We need deepthink’s government board now to give more accurate information on the costs of Lanour’s unique covid strategy and the likelihood of a vaccine before the borrowed money runs out. Perhaps David Seymour can supply the info to NZ Taxpayers as he appears to be the only politician making any sense.
The Guardian’s comment on the covid vaccine trials. Normally only about 10% of vaccine trials are successful. The hope is that the global focus, new alliances, and common purpose will raise the odds this time.
Jacinda Adern, Chris Hipkins, and Ashley Bloomfield are walking Tui ads.
We have enough PPE – Yeah Right!
The Americold worker caught covid off the packaging – Yeah Right!
We are testing border staff regularly – Yeah Right!
There is no evidence the outbreak before the election came from the border – Yeah Right!
A vaccine is imminent – Yeah Right!
NZ’s lack of a proper press (DeepThink and Mike Hosking excluded) allows these perennial liars to continue unabated.
