Fully agree. Interesting enough, global CO2 certificates would not affect Bitcoin at all (unlike air travel and cement). In the case of Bitcoin they would simply mean that the price per hash rate goes up for everyone, and therefore the diff

The core issue has nothing to do with Bitcoin: The environmental impact of "X" has to be priced into the product cost. That is a legal question at its core. I know that is easier said than done, but it is the only long term soluti

No, because AZ does not work against the SA variant of the virus, but BT does.

Unfortunately there is huge difference when it comes to the South African variant. AZ no longer works, but Pfizer does: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-55975052 vs. https://www.sciencemag.org/ne

The side effect of this amazing BioNTech/Pfizer success: Meanwhile AstraZeneca is clearly only the second choice. At least locally here in my town (EU) people line up for Biontech, but the vaccination centers that offer AstraZeneca rep

Please note that the EU is the _only_ Western country that is currently exporting vaccines to the world. It is the US + UK that are blocking all exports. Even Canada gets its vaccines from the EU, since the US is not sending them any. So ye

If the state (any state) would decide on this, we would have not any mRna vaccines because "obviously this new thing will not work and/or is too risky".. Remember that just a year ago the AZ vaccine was the clear front runner

Good news: Curevac needs only a standard refrigerator for storage. Hopefully it works. Also, Biontech is working on a V2.0 with less cooling required.

Sources for what? Of course EU/UK/USA signed deals with their local companies first, just like China and Russia. And in the case of China we have long history of problems with medical products.

Can this phase3 data be trusted? Is the raw data available for screening/checking, or do we have only the publication?

by Ulrich2 6y ago
Of course EU/UK/USA consider it. But none of these vaccines have provided any trustworthy data of their efficacy and safety. And none of the makers of these vaccines even applied to be used in EU/UK/USA. If today's

Well, the solution to this dispute is easy => We just wait another 8 weeks: (1) If am right, then Covid is gone in Israel by end of March. (2) If you are right, Covid will be still a huge problem in in Israel.

Well... maybe not. What the EU suspects is that vaccine that was produced in the EU with EU money was shipped to the UK in December. I have read that even until last week shipments went from the EU to the UK. If so, AZ and/or the UK go

Please stop spreading lies. The paper is only about "The effectiveness of the first dose of BNT162 ..." 50% efficacy after the first dose is exactly the number that BioNTech reported in its Phase3 trial. So nothing unusual here.

Sure, Moscow. My relatives in Vladivostok report a total collapse of the (local) health system.

I dont understand that: 1. So someone sells (potentially) worthless Tether for Bitcoin, ok. 2. But who is selling his Bitcoin for Tether in these volumes? Miners need to sell for cash to finance their operations.

Why does anyone get screwed here? Getting a prize is totally optional. It is not a salary or something.
