- Bill Gates predicts that “almost all” coronavirus vaccines will work by February, adding to the list candidates that have yet to produce Phase 3 conclusions, including Johnson & Johnson and Novavax.
- The Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca/Oxford have shown efficacy of up to 95%, and more vaccines will also be effective against COVID-19, medical experts believe.
The novel coronavirus vaccine race has already yielded three winners. Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca/Oxford are the three vaccine candidates tested in the US, Europe, and other western regions that have produced impressive Phase 3 results. All three of them will likely get emergency approvals in the coming weeks and months. That’s a much better outcome than many health experts expected, even in the best case scenario.
There was always a cautious optimism when it came to these vaccines. They proved their worth in the early trial phases, but there was no guarantee that they would complete Phase 3 successfully. There was always a risk that any or all of them would fail. Now that the three experimental drugs have shown they can prevent severe COVID-19 illness with an efficacy of up to 95%, Bill Gates has one of the best coronavirus vaccine predictions so far. He said in an interview that “almost all” of the coronavirus vaccines will work by February. That’s a stark departure from his initial estimates months ago that only a few of the vaccine frontrunners would prove to be successful.
