"company says."

Well, that's enough legitimacy for me.

Well, it's based on stage 3 study data. So it's promising but hasn't completed testing yet.

Phase 3 is the final stage of study and they are reporting on their results.

Yes, but still needs to be submitted for verification and approval. As per the article, they withdrew the precious application for a combined shot. It's not clear if that's due to more data, or just that this newer one is more promising.

Sure, but I was replying to “completed testing.” It has, it just hasn’t completed approval.

True, I was thinking along theines of hasn't completed the approval process. I should have phrased better.

Good thing there is a government body in the US that has the knowledge and wisdom to evaluate....

Oh wait....

This is still tied to specific strains. I was really hoping that we were getting closer to completing the generic one.

Still, yay progress.
