For once, a month in 2020 had epic global news – and I wrote about the BNT/Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine's at WIRED: The Latest Covid Vaccine Results, Deciphered.
Then came not-so-good-news. I wrote about the press release for interim results of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine at WIRED: The AstraZeneca Covid Vaccine Data Isn't Up to Snuff. And there's a timeline/sources support for that post here at this website.
Lots of debate about those vaccine trial press releases. My thoughts at Absolutely Maybe, Radical Vaccine Trial Transparency and Press Release Readouts: What's the Problem?
And my monthly roundup, Across the Vaccine Efficacy Line, and Late-Breaking Safety Episode: Covid-19 Vaccine Race, Month 11.
The month had some pretty epic personal news for me, too – I was awarded my PhD (health science). Flurry of research on how shifting evidence affects the reliability of systematic reviews coming soon!
