Moderna Inc said on Tuesday that its experimental messenger RNA vaccine for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was 83.7% effective in a late-stage trial at preventing at least two symptoms, such as cough and fever, in adults aged 60 and older.

Pfizer and GSK filed applications for U.S. regulatory approval late last year. Pfizer's RSV vaccine was found to be 66.7% effective against two or more symptoms in late-stage trials.

Moderna President Stephen Hoge told Reuters its vaccine appears to compare favorably to the experimental Pfizer and GSK shots. The RSV vaccine market could be worth more than $10 billion globally, half of which would come from the United States, according to Cowen analyst Tyler Van Buren. Hoge said Moderna had started secondary analyses on the vaccine’s efficacy against more severe disease and hospitalization. He said it was too early to provide a potential price range for the vaccine it expects to be given annually.

I'd rather take my chances with RSV, not a 'vaccine,' thanks.

Bullshit!

What is the death rate after you take it?

Then it is not a vaccine. It is a (possible) personal therapeutic. These companies make me sick. Is there a vax for that?!?

Moderna says a lot of things.

Been here before

Not too many people trust Big pharma

It's a terrible commentary about modern life that we can't EVER trust that we are hearing actual facts about healthcare because these scum bag fucking billionaires will gladly kill us to make money. Am I the only one that thinks it's absurd?

No thanks

Really sad because even if they happen to create a safe and effective vaccine for something now nobody will trust it or take it. Oh well.

OMG! WHERE HAVE WE HEARD THAT BEFORE?

jmdelalamo Estáis de coña?

If it’s anything like the rona vaccine, I’ll pass - thanks anyway

Hospitals were overflowing with sick kids and lots of them died of RSV recently

RSV aşısı.,! Moderna yeni bir yalana daha imza attı..!

What are the side affects? Generally safe? What does that mean? 'The RSV vaccine market could be worth more than $10 billion globally, half of which would come from the United States, according to Cowen analyst Tyler Van Buren.' It's not about RSV, it's about $$$$$$$$$
