- The University of Oxford's COVID-19 vaccine trial has only a 50% chance of success as the coronavirus seems to be fading rapidly in Britain, the professor co-leading the development of the vaccine told the Telegraph newspaperAdrian Hill, director of Oxford’s Jenner Institute, which has teamed up with drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc to develop the vaccine, said that an upcoming trial, involving 10,000 volunteers, threatened to return “no result” due to low transmission of COVID-19 in the...

“It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time”, Hill told the British newspaper. “At the moment, there’s a 50% chance that we get no result at all.” The experimental vaccine, known as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, is one of the front-runners in the global race to provide protection against the new coronavirus causing the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hill’s team began early-stage human trials of the vaccine in April, making it one of only a handful to have reached that milestone.

For those who only read headlines: 'The University of Oxford's COVID-19 vaccine trial has only a 50% chance of success as the coronavirus seems to be fading rapidly in Britain, the professor co-leading the development of the vaccine told the Telegraph newspaper'

So essentially a coin toss very reassuring

Funciona: 50% No funciona: 50%

Come to Brazil, please!

50% e everyone is striking out.

To be clear he’s referring to the trial not the vaccine. The problem is the prevalence of the virus is dropping in the UK, so they may not get conclusive data.

We all are very hopeful

5000%

Those are amazing odds for how little time they've had 🤞🏻

“It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time” If the virus is disappearing, why bother with a vaccine?

You mean 5%. Take a zero out

They are hyping on behalf of Astra Zenica to pump the stock over the new few months. First efforts are large bax trials have low success, and the runaway inflammation in response to this virus complicates

Hope they’re right and we get the right 50%

You can't vaccinate a syndrome, sars-cov2 is a virus, covid 19 is a syndrome some people get from sars-cov2 mostly old with other health issues. Unless you can create a vaccine for time lived and health issues you lose.

Hope it works!

So basically it’s a coin toss.

I'm telling you, his balls were this big

Urbodies r amazing in 2007 i was diagnoised with tuberculosis n was given 2 yrs 2 live unless i toke the liver killing treatmenti was sups healthy n running 5km everyday I opted NO treament I just completed my 1st IRONMANtri last summer so think ppl

Every monkey they tested it on still got infected, it does not sound promising at all.

Well... a coin toss...🤷‍♂️

And a 50% chance it will kill you... no thanks give it to Gov Murphy... he can test it and let us know how it works out

Bad news!

Pretty low

I wish for ending covid 19

That's even sounds more like 15%.

BraunFilm proven right again

Would you take the chance?
