Pfizer picked a COVID-19 vaccine dose far lower than Moderna's to minimize side effects, its top scientist says (please share)

Pfizer picked a COVID-19 vaccine dose far lower than Moderna's to minimize side effects, its top scientist says
Pfizer's top scientist said the company chose a relatively low vaccine dose to minimize side effects.
Pfizer's vaccine has 30 micrograms of mRNA, the active ingredient. Moderna's has 100 micrograms.
Both vaccines produce similar side effects, according to the CDC.
Pfizer's top scientist has defended the dose of the company's COVID-19 vaccine, which is lower than in Moderna's vaccine.
Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine has 30 micrograms of mRNA, the active ingredient of the vaccine, and Moderna's has 100 micrograms. Scientists have speculated this could be a reason why Pfizer's shot produced a lower antibody response than Moderna's in recent studies.
Philip Dormitzer, chief scientific officer at Pfizer, told the Financial Times on Wednesday that Pfizer and co-developer BioNTech "used the minimum dose level" that they could to get an immune response that was stronger than simply catching COVID-19.
Dormitzer added that a higher dose might have risked more side effects, per the Financial Times.
"If you look at what's going on with all the COVID-19 vaccines out there, the derailer has often been adverse events that have cropped up," he said.
Pfizer and Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines produce similar side effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Possible side effects include: a sore, painful, red arm; muscle aches; fatigue; and fever.
A type of heart inflammation, called myocarditis, is an "extremely rare" side effect of both vaccines, and resolves quickly.
There are case reports of so-called "Moderna arm," an angry red rash that goes away on its own after getting Moderna's shot, which isn't seen with Pfizer's. Insider contacted Moderna for comment, but didn't immediately receive a response.
In the US, more than 214 million doses of Pfizer's shot have been given out, and 147 million of Moderna's, according to the CDC.
Moderna shot boosted antibodies higher than Pfizer's
A study of 1,600 Belgian health workers published as a research letter in JAMA on August 30 found that Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine produced twice as many antibodies compared with Pfizer's, at six to ten weeks after vaccination.
The study authors said that the higher mRNA levels in Moderna's vaccine compared with Pfizer's, and the longer time interval between doses for Pfizer "might explain this difference."
Another study from the University of Virginia, published as a research letter in JAMA on September 2, found there was no difference in antibody response between age groups with Moderna's vaccine, but that Pfizer's produced a lower antibody response in people aged 50 and older. The researchers said that the differences between the vaccines could "relate" to the amount of mRNA in them.
The antibody response is just one aspect of the immune system, and the antibody level needed to protect against COVID-19 is not yet established.
Vaccine protection also depends on whether or not the antibody response changes over time. For example, a recent study from Oxford University found that at four months, Pfizer's and AstraZeneca's vaccines had similar levels of antibodies, because the antibody level from Pfizer's shot waned over time while the levels from AstraZeneca's remained the same.
Previous real-world data from Canada found that after one dose, Pfizer's vaccine was 56% effective against COVID-19 with symptoms caused by the highly infectious Delta variant. Moderna's was 72% effective, the study found.
Other factors could have influenced the results though, including that Pfizer's vaccine had typically been given to older people who tend to produce weaker immune responses. The study hasn't been scrutinized by experts in a peer-review,

I am asking one of you to make this go viral....What is the Nipah virus and why is it more deadly than COVID-19? A virus expert explains.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/nipah-virus-why-more-deadly-185533487.html
What is the Nipah virus and why is it more deadly than COVID-19? A virus expert explains.
Officials in India are racing to contain a virus outbreak that has claimed the life of a 12-year-old boy and is deadlier than COVID-19 — the Nipah virus.
CBS News reports the boy was taken to the hospital last week in the southern Kerala state with a high-grade fever and suspected brain inflammation. After blood tests, he was diagnosed with the Nipah virus and died Sunday.
Officials are using contact tracing, quarantine and hospitalization on the 188 people who have came into contact with the preteen to prevent a wide-spread outbreak, CBS reported.
"This is one of those viruses we really need to pay attention to," John Lednicky, a research professor at the University of Florida's Environmental and Global Health department, told USA TODAY.
The reemergence of the Nipah virus is compacting a problem in the nation already grappling with the effects of COVID-19, with over 30,000 new COVID cases reported on Monday.
What is the Nipah virus?
The Nipah virus was first discovered in Malaysia and Singapore in 1999 after multiple pigs and people became sick, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
So far, the only recorded outbreaks have occurred in Asia.
It's classified as a zoonotic virus that initially spreads from animals to people. It can also be transmitted through contaminated food and directly between people.
The Nipah virus is not related to COVID-19, but may have the same originating source — bats.
The host of the virus is fruit bats, also known as flying foxes because of their large size.
Lednicky said pigs are highly susceptible to the virus and can come in contact with it through fruit material the bats have been consuming.

Other domestic animals like horses, goats, sheep, cats and dogs can become infected, according to the CDC.
Unsuspecting humans may also come into contact with contaminated fruit and become infected.
"There's probably an underestimate of people who have been infected with the virus due to people not being properly diagnosed," Lednicky said.
What are the signs and symptoms?
Symptoms of the Nipah virus vary from asymptomatic to acute respiratory infection and — at its worst — encephalitis, a swelling of active tissue in the brain that can be fatal, according to the World Health Organization.
Infected people can experience sore throat, fever, headaches and muscle pains. If the infection progresses, dizziness and altered consciousness could be signs of encephalitis.
The start of symptoms ranges from 4 to 14 days after exposure and there are currently no vaccines available to treat the virus.
"There's no good treatment for it," Lednicky said. "They put you in the hospital, but there's really nothing much else they can do for you."
WHO reports that 40% to 75% of Nipah cases are fatal compared to COVID-19 fatality rate of around 2%.
Should people in US be worried?
Lednicky said people in the U.S. don't need to worry much about Nipah virus because it has been isolated to Asia regions where fruit bats live.
But there's always a chance someone can bring the virus into a new area.
"The concern really is how people travel," Lednicky said. "Years ago when travel was more restricted, you didn't see unusual pathogens traveling."
Lednicky hopes that U.S. can learn from the COVID-19 pandemic and take on a more proactive approach versus a reactive one.
"There are going to be more emerging pathogens," he said.
"It seems like history repeats itself because we're unprepared."

As reported earlier, the Taliban is holding six planes filled with Americans and Afghan SIVs HOSTAGE in Northern Afghanistan.
The planes cannot take off unless the Taliban clears them, which can easily be handled with a telephone call. Our heroes and the people they rescued are sitting ducks, hostages of the Taliban, who operate the airport at Mazar-i-Sharif.
The State Department is not helping these Americans, who are at the mercy of the Taliban.
And Dementia Joe is more interested in acting like a celebrity than a Commander-in-Chief.
Joe Biden took selfies with union members, and even spoke to one of their mothers over the phone.
What a disgrace.

WHO Lists Mu as 'Variant of Interest'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/lists-mu-variant-interest-121518838.html
(why cant it be the people vaccinated making it mutate?? Just asking)
WHO (World Health Organization) Lists Mu as 'Variant of Interest'
The World Health Organization is monitoring a new coronavirus variant called “mu” — known by scientists as B.1.621 — and has added it to the list of “variants of interest” because of preliminary evidence it can evade antibodies.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert, said the United States was also monitoring the new variant, which was first identified in Colombia in January and now makes up 39% of all cases there.
The WHO says the variant has the potential to evade immunity provided by vaccines and antibodies, and because of that, it was listed as a “variant of interest” on Aug. 30.

Still, Fauci said it is not at all common in the United States, where the highly contagious delta variant makes up 99% of all COVID-19 cases. He said the new variant “has a constellation of mutations that suggests it would evade certain antibodies,” but there is so far very little clinical data supporting that conclusion.
Fauci added that vaccines are still quite effective against variants with similar characteristics.
“Bottom line, we are paying attention to it,” he said. “We take everything like that seriously, but we don't consider it an immediate threat right now.”
