kurnool NTR Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Placebo (no therapeutic effect) administration of pfizer vaccine trial to see how people's mind would react. There are lot of adverse effects in about 12% people even when it is only placebo. So one should be very sensitive in their acts before creating a panic on vaccine trials. https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download Page 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAYAM_NANI Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thanks for sharing it. i think the number presented should not be taken literally. some adverse events could be common like pain at the injection site (though it would be more for those talking drugs), redness at injection site also happens with placebo. Let us also not forget that placebo has the same base of formulation without the drug. Any illness during trial period (like fever, cough etc during the trail period though may not be related to vaccine) are accounted though it is the case with those having drug too.

We can’t take that number literally. Hope the vaccine works well, this will be one of the greatest achievements in science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govindu Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It is simply cheating with peoples money by governments that are encouraging the purchase of vaccine. And effective vaccine cannot be released without testing its effects for over several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
