Covid-19: Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine judged safe for use in UK from next week
www.bbc.com
The NHS is ready to use the initial 800,000 doses when they arrive, the health secretary says.

To make a long story short I saw the above link in a world news thread and saw tons of people excited for the Pfizer vaccine. Not trying to reveal too much but I know someone who is administering the Pfizer vaccine for trials and they had told me they are finishing the phase one trials and phase two would begin in December. Seeing that the UK is about to buy a shit ton of these vaccines made me really confused obviously. Not saying you should take me at face value at all, but considering reddit is full of spooks I thought it was funny lol

    No, the trials are halfway done phase 3. All of the info on trial locations and statuses are available here if you're interested.

    It looks like the CoronaVac trial will have its primary results in February.

      Like I said I'm not really here to argue about this stuff mainly because I cannot prove to you people here how genuine my claims are. I don't want my friend to lose their job or anything. I'm just saying the information as I've heard it from them.

      Thanks for the information though.

        There are probably some phase I trials still going on, but if you believe that no phase III trial has started yet then you have to believe that Pfizer is fabricating all of its preliminary data, and the other pharma companies would not countenance that level of fraud from a competitor.

          That's definitely possible some places are behind. My real main gripe is how fast I was banned for making my comment lol it was like 5 minutes after I posted it. Tons of people are spreading legit anti vax conspiracies like the bill gates mind control shit, so it was super sus that my comment was picked out in particular and so quickly.

        It might be phase 1/2 in the UK. The phase 3 trials are being run in other locations in the world - Brazil, Indonesia, Bangladesh,

          My friend and I live in the US and the article specifically talks about the Pfizer vaccine, but yes that link some other user mentioned earlier with the clinical trials does talk about international vaccine trials. Not sure if they are linked to Pfizer or not so I can't say.
