Elizabeth Jacobs, PhDPfizer has ended its large Phase III Trial of an updated COVID19 vaccine.
They were not able to enroll enough people to meet their goal.
A major problem is the FDA’s wholly unreasonable demand that people with chronic conditions, who benefit most from the vaccine, not be allowed to participate.
it's B! Cavello 🐝@elizabethjacobs.bsky.social @SRDas I didn’t know this was something you could enroll in. I wish I’d heard about it!
Das@b_cavello @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Same! I looked up the Moderna trial - it shows as still recruiting. Unfortunately not anywhere that close to me.

@SRDas @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social Dang, yeah, it’s an hour of transit for me to get to the location in my city, but it’s good to know. I am tempted, but it’s a shame it’s not more convenient/in the center of town.
