Howdy Brother....

In my case...they used the gun in '65 too. (MCRD San Diego)

Correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to recall some issue during that era, or a bit later, that they were having some problems with gun process?
Can't recall exactly if there were some infections as a result of gun injections or something else.....I'm old too. :)

Since yesterday's vaccine....no negative reactions other than the injection region itself being a bit sore.
Nothing more for us.

Have a great weekend everyone....

Since there are no needles, the gun supposedly did not need sanitizing between injections. However, that shyt theory failed to account for the flinchers. Flinching leads to a good bit of bleeding and the gun is placed directly against the skin. You and your boys may have been Blood Brothers way before you got to RVN.

[QUOTE=ectoBgone;1637974373]Are these studies gathering additional data on the current vaccine technologies or are there new ones on the horizon too (if you can say)?[/QUOTE]
Not sure what you’re asking since you said vaccine technologies. The idea of using mRNA isn’t that new, but the designs of the capsules around each vaccine, the coating which lets us sneak the mRNA into your cells, are different or new. I think sputnik’s use of two different vectors for the first and second shot is brilliant, but I don’t know if it’s new.

As far as what we’re studying. There are a lot of covid vaccines being tested and actually a lot of other vaccines being tested too. So we’re gathering data on new covid vaccines that are hoping to get approved and yes, we are also collecting more data on the vaccines that already got EUA. Pfizer is asking for full approval now. I’m sure Moderna will soon too. CureVac and NovaVax have big studies going that are close to being able to submit for EUA if they haven’t already, and I’m not sure who else does. WallStreet is following that pretty closely so Google can tell you.

EUA requires 2 months of safety data after the shot and full approval requires 6. I don’t know if it’s 6 months on all the subjects or just enough to rule out certain statistical signals. Our follow up doesn’t actually end at 6 months though. We will keep following those patients for 1 to 2 years based on the individual protocols which each sponsor works out with the regulatory authorities. That follow up isn’t perfect though. Two years of follow up sounds good, but it’s going to be very difficult to interpret because unlike most blinded trials we run where the subjects are either on placebo or the IP for the duration of the study, in this case, if they can get a vaccine outside the study, the subjects will. So people on a Pfizer study may be getting a J&J shot or Moderna shots or any of the others when their name comes up. At that point their data becomes less useful. It’s also why conducting trials on new vaccines is going to get more and more difficult. We clearly can’t run them in Israel, and even the US is becoming difficult in some age groups. Is there anyone over the age of 65 in the US that would be willing to get an investigational product vaccine and hasn’t already gotten an EUA vaccine? So it gets difficult to find unvaccinated subjects, which is obviously good from a public health perspective, but bad if we want to study new vaccines.

I don’t know if the studies unblind subjects when asked to, to avoid anyone getting multiple vaccines. I’ll ask our vaccine expert later today. He’s a VERY popular guy these days and I'm sure a bunch of other CRO’s are currently trying to steal him.

Gotta get some work done now so apologies if I have typos or such in this or it's unclear.

All the doc did was ask me questions (I was a new patient) then his nurse asked me questions and gave me a tet along with telling to go down to the lab and draw blood.

I told the doc no to the Covid, but my wife told him yes so he scheduled us both. The nurse never asked about Covid.

But it really don’t matter cause I was overdue for the tet and they weren’t going to give me both, I haven’t seen a doc in over 20 years this was all wife’s doing.

Btw I had shorts on, doc goes what’s up with those scabs and bruises on your shins, told him that from lifting weights, he says, exercise? I say yeah, he says you definitely need a tet shot then!

Damn, I was actually wondering if anyone actually has stepped on a nail and gotten that chit.

Oh and wife got hers, I’ll get mine later, no biggie.

The side effects I got from the tet seem the same as Covid as I’m reading really, last night I only felt bad when resting, I got up, did some chores and was fine within an hour. I’m sure the same happened 15- 20 years ago too, but at that age I ignored it, lol.

I keep current on tetanus always. I've had nail-stepping experiences and plenty of other reasons to stay on top of it. One of my best friends growing up almost died of lockjaw when he didn't have the shot and had a cut from rusty corregated iron. Scary.

I did, I told them the minute I got there, but I never even thought about it until you said it.

Even still they give you a paper to fill out before getting the vaccine asking that very question.

I suppose if the doc did everything on his own, he woulda caught this before me coming in there. But he has nurses and recesponists juggling all the info at once.

[QUOTE=mgftp;1637974733]I am one shot in on Pfizer and penis is already about 30% larger. Am I the only one?[/QUOTE]

Damn you shrank and your penor stayed the same size? Maybe everything shrank and the penor is erect 100% of the time?

A little follow up. None of us knew for sure when I asked, but it seems most likely that the requirement for EUA are that the average follow up be at least 2 months, and for full authorization, that it is at least 6 months when you apply. Regulatory isn't what we've been focusing on, sorry.

During the call, someone pointed out that we as doctors are doing a terrible job in explaining that these studies weren't rushed. It's simply that to gather the data for a vaccine study, we'd normally spend several years just trying to enroll the subjects. Since these studies enrolled 30 or 35 or 40,000 subjects in weeks instead of years, we were able to collect as much or more data on the COVID vaccines in a few months, than we normally collect in years on other vaccine trials.

I also learned that all the studies any of our group is aware of, do unblind a person if they're going to get a vaccine outside the trial. They also unbinded at least one after a few months and let people who had received placebo cross over to the active study arm. The incidence of the virus is high enough that they could collect enough efficacy data very quickly, do that crossover, vaccinate all the study subjects, and then collect safety data on even more people.

[QUOTE=JustTheDad;1637956023]Thanks. And yes. That day job I mentioned in an earlier post is working as a Medical Director at a CRO.

I'm not directly assigned to any of our vaccine trials right now but some of the docs that "report" to me are. A lot of people on the vaccine studies are working weekends or having to review listings at 2am to avoid delays. Despite that, nobody is complaining. Everyone just says that they can't go anywhere anyway, so they might as work over the weekend.

We can't rush the data collection, but we've sized the studies so they can show safety and efficacy in a very short period of time, so anything the medical monitors can do to avoid delays is being done. The same is true for clinical, data management, safety, regulatory, and every other group involved from the study sites all the way to the statisticians. The entire industry knows that if the data is going to show another vaccine is safe and effective, getting that data cleaned and analyzed just one week faster means production ramps up a week earlier, and that could save a lot of lives. It's impressive.

You know, with all silliness about the vaccines having weird side effects, when I was getting my shot, I was thinking it would be really cool if my Pfizer vaccine could give me super powers or maybe heal my rotator cuff injury as an unexpected side effect. Instead it just gave me a completely expected sore deltoid and some protection from the virus.

I know that sounds silly, but I mention it to show that someone like me, who knew exactly what was in it, how it was tested and what the data showed, was so unconcerned about side effects when they stuck the needle in my arm that I was entertaining myself with X-Men scenarios instead of worrying about an adverse reaction.[/QUOTE]

Very cool, great to have you posting ITT. Areas near me are begging for people, too much vaccine not enough people to give it to at this point. I have the second dose of an on-site clinic scheduled at work on Monday and Tuesday (Moderna). No adverse reactions last time other than a few people coming to tell me their arm hurt the next day. Although I know several people who have had short duration flu symptoms, most of them had also tested positive w/in the last year. In my own small sample, it seems post infection immunity (whether they knew they had it or not) might play a role in the cases of vaccine sides. That also seems to fit with symptoms being more prevalent in 2nd dose since antibodies would already be present. While I have not been vaccinated (my own post infection immunity experiment) I try to explain to people the risk of the vaccine vs the greater risk (while still low for most) of the virus. I hope there is some good that comes from this in terms of preparedness for the next one, which might not be as “mild”.

I witnessed a case of lockjaw, wasn't pretty, If a booster every 10 years can lessen my odds of getting it, I am all in and will be getting the shot as long as it is available.

I’ve heard the same thing from a vet years ago about rabies vaccine for dogs, he said probably need two in their lives 5-7 years between. They have 3 year shots now. Rabies is nearly 100% fatal in people though if untreated soon after infection. There have only been a handful of people survive if prophylactic vaccination isn’t done soon after the bite/scratch. One survival case was a young girl in Wisconsin that I wrote a paper on. You can actually get rabies just handling a dead bat. They use their claws to preen themselves with saliva, and a scratch from the claw of a dead infectious bat is enough to do it. I used to be pretty careful handling animals when I trapped for fur, there’s more than a few diseases you can get from raccoons, coyotes etc. while trapping, skinning, fleshing etc.

Tetanus is typically scheduled every ten IIRC, but they’ll do a booster in 5 if someone gets a rusty metal gash.

It's been more than 10 years since I got a tetanus shot and I stepped on a rusty nail last year. The doctor that told me the 30 plus years thing also did me for cholera, typhoid, rabies and the Twinrix series of A & B shots, so I hope he was right. :)

Rust doesn't cause tetanus, the reason people associate with tetanus is because people step on nails on the ground. Tetanus can live in soil for many years and can be transmitted into any wound if you come in contact with it.

My daughter woke up with a cough and sore throat last night/early this morning. We were supposed to go visit my wife’s mom and grandma, but instead will be getting my daughter a rapid covid test so the rest of us can continue to do our stuff (work, school, etc.). If it turns out she tests positive, I’d probably get vaccinated today because I caught what I believe was covid from her in January of 20. She was the outbreak monkey being the first to have symptoms and everyone but my son had symptoms afterwords (wife’s 93 yo grandmother was later hospitalized with “pneumonia”).

Had my vaccine yesterday. I thought long and hard about it because normally I don't like interferring with my body's natural ability to take care of itself. But I don't want to take 2 weeks off work if I get COVID and I'd feel really guilty if I passed it on to my parents. In the UK most people over the age of 35 seem to be getting the Oxford AstraZeneca shot, which I'm more comfortable with.

Anyway after getting the shot I went to the gym and did some squats and deadlifts - felt fine all day. 12 hours later, all of a sudden it's like someone flicked a switch and I had chills and my shoulder was really painful. I went bed and don't feel 100% today, but suspect I'll be over it by tomorrow.
