COVID 19 Vaccine Update with Professor Michael Mina, MD: Safety, Efficacy, Distribution, Trials

Harvard professor and epidemiologist Michael Mina MD, Ph.D. is back to give a COVID 19 Vaccine Update including:
00:00 Attention to vaccine safety in phase one, two, and three trials
00:21 Mild side effects from vaccines observed in phase 1 and 2 trials
00:32 Awareness of "fringe effects" when the vaccine is introduced to thousands or millions
00:59 Post-market surveillance of adverse effects vs. coincidence and confounding
01:31 Ensuring efficacy - new territory with a coronavirus vaccine
01:50 Sterilizing immunity
02:06 Relatively weak immune response from coronaviruses vs severity
02:29 Polio and measles vaccines create robust immunity
02:59 New technology being used in some SARS-CoV-2 vaccines
03:47 Cautious optimism about the efficacy of vaccines
04:02 Herd immunity
04:43 Who is going to get the COVID-19 vaccine first? Which countries?
05:15 Medical professionals likely the first to receive vaccines
06:02 Will COVID 19 vaccines block transmission and spread?
06:10 Should kids get the vaccine?
06:37 How well will vaccines work in the elderly and immunocompromised?
07:46 How quickly can the COVID vaccines get distributed? By the end of this year?

MedCram has no financial disclosures related to any medical products or vaccines, and from our understanding, Dr. Mina does not either.

A rushed-to-market vaccine with the manufacturer(s) absolved of any liability? I'll gladly let some one else have my dose. I'm happy to wait many years for it. I do appreciate Dr. Mina's explanation, though.

[wearemilesfromnowhere]

Being a type I diabetic for 42 years and in relatively good health, there is no way I would trust any vaccine before the first two years of public rollout. I have my precautions and immune building regime in place for the time being. MedCram has certainly been the voice of clarity through all this. Cannot say enough about the integrity here.

[todd]

Since when has big pharma been concerned about safety ? Profit are greater then the fines.

[MsSunstoned]

I have lived 30 years with multiple auto-immunity, more than one, I just feel that after seeing many specialists, that the immune system is very complicated & not fully understood. I would not take a vaccine unless you can prove that it's ok that someone with MAS can tolerate a vaccine for CoVid.

[nancyrahif]

I don’t know if the trial periods for this vaccine is enough to rule out the adverse events.

[MyJohnnyboy]

Tell us more about nutrition information and how building a strong immune system works.

SLIT for allergies are very effective

[timothykeith]

I just read that COVID-19 vaccines are unlikely to be effective for obese and other high risk persons because these conditions cause inflammation which causes the immune system to be ineffective. So, the vaccine is unlikely to be effective to those who might need it most. The article said that the same is true for flu vaccines - ineffective many unhealthy people

[cheryltison]

Is it wise to put all our medical heroes at risk at the same time?Especially if it is decided to skip to the end earlier?

[josephdavis]

No thank you..Way to rushed for safety. Very dangerous,

[gorgig]

In big store They sell everything from cars, guns, medicine, food...but on the door is writing: "We or producers 
do not are responsible for quality, safety or efficacy of these products...Q?, Will You buy or no any of these products.

[k.c]

I'm trying to figure out how efficacious vaccines will be without widespread testing ...

[polaris]

Surprised to see them discussing this topic since Youtube and big tech like to censor controversial topics

[expressoyourself]

Humans are Guinea pigs in this. That is what I am hearing. There has to be a better way to deal with this. Someone can have my dose. I would rather address via improved immunity, better diet, preventing metabolic diseases like diabetes. We are rushing something that sounds like could blow up and make things worse and just not work at all. Why not also invest more in educating people better on how to prevent beyond just wearing a mask (diet and supplements) and taking better care of elderly. Invest in educating and not just inducing fear and dependency on a vaccine fix. They only tool that is really being hyped is a rushed vaccine, when their are other tools in the tool box.

[AC-cgsp]

Without challenge tests, how do we know if it works

[KevinSolway]

From what I can tell, we don't have a working vaccine yet, so there's no point talking about how to distribute it.

[blackiecortez]

Vaccine development and distribution explained Very Clearly. Thanks so much MedCram and Dr Mina.

[nn-ujiv]

Why are death rates so low while cases have been increasing for over a month. Hospitalisations and deaths are not happening?

[jasintosamora]

The vaccine sounds so exciting, can't wait not to take it.

[BillyLapTop]

Cautious optimism presented very well.

[dfortmd]

What will the criteria be for choosing which vaccine(s) will be used initially?
