What's this?

Thanks, lots of good data to chew on there (updated)


So what I've been able to tell from that and some other reading is that it is inline with other vaccine testing done in past years on different coronavirus strains. So you will see a big flood of antibodies within the first 3-5 weeks after receiving the vaccine.

The real test comes later because in some past studies the antibody levels have come down to the baseline level after 12 weeks. So will this hold up over time? And will it provide actual protection (antibodies don't guarantee protection)? Also, this was a very small number of people for the Phase 1, so will these results hold up with a larger trial?

So the safety profile is good. And the antibody levels are good. Now to see how it does over time. As with the others, this is promising but still far too early to celebrate.
