Is this study accurate/persuasive? It makes a claim that antibody levels are a reasonable proxy for effectiveness? Please don’t downvote - I’m asking for expertise, not making an argument that it’s correct.

Although I am from Canada, I follow what is being said by the USA. I agree, the White House needs to stay clear of the Pharma companies. The White House has no business involved in science. How can the public trust when these two collaborate. Pzifer Moderna do RCT and release the results whether the results are good or bad.

When did I decide to become a paid subscriber? With the sentence in this video that began with "What kind of news organization can't find one expert under the sun........?"

I hope the continued covid research in Boston, the Pfizer/White House business and the vaccine mandates will influence voters next week.

As a lay person generating antibodies seems like the bare minimum of what a vaccine should do. I hate that all these decisions are based on antibodies.

You are spot on Vinay.

I wish that there wasn’t such irrational thought driving the White House to a lack of science based vaccine policy.

You mention 3rd & 4th shots for a 20 year old... with no ability to stop transmission, I see no case of encouraging a 1st shot to a healthy 20 year old. How am I wrong?

You are wrong because you aren't a democrat holding the administration's party line. Your name is on a list somewhere....
