Question

Several vaccines have been developed since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDA requires evidence from a Phase 3 clinical trial before approving any new vaccines. As a statistician in training, you will examine results from the clinical trial report by Polack et al. (2020) to answer the following questions. Polack, Fernando P., Stephen J. Thomas, Nicholas Kitchin, Judith Absalon, Alejandra Gurtman, Stephen Lockhart, John L. Perez et al. "Safety and efficacy of the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 vaccine." New England Journal of Medicine (2020). (a) (10 pts) Find and download this paper. (b) (10 pts) Is this study experimental, observational, or mixed? Explain. (c) (10 pts) What is the basic unit in this study? (d) (10 pts) What is the treatment in this study? (e) (10 pts) What are the primary endpoints in this study? (f) (10 pts) Explain whether it is possible to test the effect of vaccines on the primary endpoints in this study.

1. These vaccines contain a version of the live virus or bacteria that has been weakened so that it does not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune systems. - live, attenuated vaccine - subunit vaccine - conjugate vaccines - inactivated vaccine 2. These types of vaccines target bacteria with polysaccharide coatings and are effective for these types of bacteria because they connect the polysaccharides to antigens that the immune system responds to very well. - conjugate vaccine - subunit vaccine - inactivated vaccine 3. Some researchers are working on developing a vaccine for COVID-19 that would put virus-like particles, such as empty virus shells that mimic the virus structure, into the human body. These are an example of what type of vaccine? - nucleic acid vaccines - virus vaccines - viral vector vaccines - protein-based vaccines - toxoid vaccine 4. Some researchers are working on developing a vaccine for COVID-19 that would use genetic instructions (in the form of DNA or RNA) for a coronavirus protein that prompts an immune response. These are an example of what type of vaccine? - protein-based vaccine - viral-vector vaccine - nucleic acid vaccine - virus vaccine

Despite the evidence indicating how important vaccines are, some people have chosen not to vaccinate their children. Select the TRUE statements. A. Vaccines have been so successful that some people have forgotten how serious some childhood diseases can be. B. There is no need to vaccinate because most of the serious childhood diseases have been eradicated. C. The risks of vaccines outweigh their benefits. D. Diseases like measles, which can be prevented by vaccination, are reappearing in the United States because people fail to immunize their children. E. Children in the United States who are not immunized will not always be protected by herd immunity, despite the current anti-vaccine movement.

Childhood vaccinations: In January 2015, the Pew Research Center reported results from one of their surveys. "Asked about whether vaccines for childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) and polio should be required or left up to parental choice, 68% of adults say such vaccines should be required while 30% say that parents should be able to decide whether or not to vaccinate their children." The following is an excerpt from the press release: The survey of the general public was conducted using a probability-based sample of the adult population by landline and cellular telephone Aug. 15-25, 2014, with a representative sample of 2,002 adults nationwide. The margin of sampling error for results based on all adults is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Source: C. Funk and L. Raine. Public and Scientists' Views on Science and Society (2015) Which of the following statements is correct when interpreting the 95% confidence interval for these findings?

00:01 Hello students, in this question we have to tell about vaccines and we have to name the vaccine of the given type.
00:10 So first is the vaccine which contains vegan pathogen is called as attenuated vaccine.
00:35 The second is the vaccine that targets polysaccharide coatings.
00:40 So the vaccine that targets polysaccharide coatings are called as conjugate vaccines.
00:53 The third is vaccine that put virus -like particles...
