Pfizer-BioNTech shot stops covid spread, Israeli study seems to show Naomi Kresge and Jason Gale, Bloomberg Feb. 22, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail The Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE coronavirus vaccine appeared to stop the vast majority of recipients in Israel becoming infected, providing the first real-world indication that the immunization will curb transmission of the coronavirus. The vaccine, which is being rolled out in a national immunization program that began Dec. 20, was 89.4% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed infections, according to a copy of a draft publication that was posted on Twitter and confirmed by a person familiar with the work. The companies worked with Israel s Health Ministry on the preliminary observational analysis, which wasn t peer-reviewed. Some scientists disputed its accuracy.

Helen Petousis-Harris: the vaccine voice of reason for NZ

David White stuff.co.nz Vaccinologist Dr Helen Petousis-Harris breaks down how a Covid-19 vaccine was developed so fast and what will happen next. The long spotted nightmare was almost over. From her holiday Airbnb in France, vaccine expert Helen Petousis-Harris had just talked to Australian media about the final fizzling of Samoa s devastating measles epidemic. But in that same room, in mid-December 2019, she watched a news report about an odd pneumonia emerging in China. A new nightmare was just beginning. The Auckland University vaccinologist had criticised the government for New Zealand’s own measles epidemic, which we exported to Samoa. The Health Ministry had failed to plug immunisation gaps, despite repeated pleas, and a 2017 mumps outbreak that exposed the depletion of public health resources. The epidemic should never have happened, Petousis-Harris said.
