Oh for sure. I think you'll find a bunch of huge vaccine producers will be paid to scale up any one of these vaccine technologies. There are entire companies which exist just to contract out process units to pharmaceutical customers.

Technologically, I think Oxford or Moderna would be the most likely to "stick". The risk with Moderna is the novel vaccine. Side effect profile requires more attention than a more traditional vaccine. But at least the Oxford one appears to work to some degree.

ALRIGHT, here we go. Vaccine company draft - Please note: While I work in the vaccine industry, I have no insider information on any of these companies and I do not intend anyone to make stock buying decisions on my mostly joke power rankings. Also, I do not work for any of these companies. Power rankings, IMHO AstraZeneca/Oxford - Oxford is a 4 tool company, what it lacks is scale up. AstraZeneca provides that fifth tool and can play center field Johnson & Johnson - Dark horse. They appear to be slightly behind on development, but they are the most capable of scale-up quickly Chinese efforts - Rounding out the top three. A bit of a wild card Moderna (Which I just figured out meant Mode RNA) - Very mature vaccine offering but has to contract out scale up from a company like Novartis or Lonzaf AG. Sanofi - Makes my list because I use ACT mouthwash which is made by Sanofi Gilead - Remdesivir appears to be Gilead's offering at the moment. The field - I'm bored of this.

GarPax have no meaningful influence. If you're in the basketball organization, Karsinovas is your boss. Period. He has 100% of the say.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
I do not understand how numbers can be so wildly different. This is completely different than what the CDC, IHME are predicting for Texas.- Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
Yeah, that's pretty much the case. 670 would be pretty vanilla without him, agree with him or (usually) not. Edit: And I know people don't like him, but his first 10 minutes on the show this morning were great.- Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
Oh, I love him. I was just curious if he was still on staff because i know his role had been shrinking- Sports Media discussion
Honestly though, it's not like she's Sarah Spain. She's just not top line talent.- Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
Yikes. Score host gigs don't last long. Is Matt Spiegel still on the payroll?- Radio Broadcast Speculation Thread
Really sad day for the White Sox family. I don't want to flood the farmio thread with posts about his replacement. Any thoughts on who takes over?- RIP Ed Farmer
Underrated as a broadcaster. I'll miss his voice.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
My wife is an ER doctor. My life has been an absolute nightmare for about a week. Now I have to face really tough decisions about whether I leave the house because of risk of exposure or if I just stay here and ride it out. If we had kids it would be fairly straightforward: myself or my wife would go somewhere. We don't have kids, so I'm not sure it's even worth leaving if I'll probably get it anyway. Stay at home people.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
That's one of the big ones. There are multiple treatments under consideration, including one or two preventative treatments, which, if safe, would be obligatory for healthcare workers.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
And there are some serious potential treatments for the virus in their early stages.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Yeah, but there was so much less we could do as a society in 1918. In 1918, you went to the hospital to die. I'll take any good news as good news for now.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
There's a lot about Italy that isn't like here. Not the least of which is Italy is about a decade older on average than the United States.- MLB considering no crowds allowed on Opening Day?
It’s too early to know that for sure. Also, at least if that is the case, a virus tends to select towards less deadly for obvious reasons- MLB considering no crowds allowed on Opening Day?
I think I should probably change my vote. No games sounds like the plan- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
We'll see. Places like Seattle and New York seem to already be starting the climb.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
It's growing too fast in certain places. A lot of the social distancing going in our larger municipalities should help us slow the spread of coronavirus.- MLB considering no crowds allowed on Opening Day?
