How did a certificate submitted in 1997 bear the signature of officials who were in the university in 1979? The issue is not wether he attended or not BUT that certificate submitted to INEC is forged. Atiku got what he wanted. QED |

Thanks guys....na to find 56K go buy original DW1 as a good quality alternative dexron 3 no dey market. Why I was asking for alternative dexron 3 is that I won't drive the car up to 1000 km before I change to original DW1. Its just temporary before I get DW1. Thanks guys. Cheers and compliments of the season. |
Car Talk / Gear ATF For Honda Pilot 07 by phantom(m): 10:51am On Dec 19, 2022 |
Hey guys, good day. Please, i need advise on best ATF for my pilot. The DW1 readily available in PH is the adulterated Chinese version. The original product is also available but very expensive. I need a cheaper solution even if its another brand as long as its okay for my tranny. Someone suggested the mobil atf dexron 2. I don't want to take chances and I have decided to seek for advise. I need a good, original alternative product. I can go as much as 3,500/4000 per litre. I am replacing all the 8litres of the gearbox. Thank you and God bless. |

Ammishaddai: Oga you are the one swimming in ignorance and making a fool of yourself. Yes, most vaccines take up to 10years for full development but in the case of covid, it was accelerated via the millions of dollars(in excess of 500million dollars) pumped in over a short period BECAUSE of the danger it posed. Read the article below SOURCE: https://wellcome.org/news/quick-safe-covid-vaccine-development How have Covid-19 vaccines been made quickly and safely? Explainer How have Covid-19 vaccines been made quickly and safely? Unprecedented international cooperation and focus have led to multiple effective and safe Covid-19 vaccines in less than a year, and created a blueprint for future vaccine development. Here's how. The first vaccines for Covid-19 were developed in under twelve months. How was this possible and what can we learn from this? The Covid-19 pandemic threatens every one of us, wherever we are, which has demanded a new global approach to vaccine development. There has been unprecedented international attention, cooperation and use of resources, enabling us to act at speed to stop people dying and protect livelihoods. For most diseases, developing a vaccine can take more than 10 years. The development process is expensive, so to keep costs down development takes place slowly, each stage only beginning when the previous stage is successfully completed. This has meant a fundamental redesign of the staggered approach of conventional vaccine development, so that Covid-19 vaccine development can safely be done much faster. So far, it has been an extraordinary success – a brilliant example of what we can achieve when we work together. It’s a bit like driving across a busy city in rush hour. Normally you spend lots of time waiting at traffic lights, but when you have a police escort, you can take the same journey and get to the same place, just as safely, but faster. **Vaccines developed by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Oxford-AstraZeneca are the first Covid-19 vaccines to get emergency authorisation** The usual vaccine development process All licensed vaccines currently available have been made using a traditional vaccine development model. Because of the high costs and failure rate, this usually follows a linear sequence of steps. There are five stages to the process: Discovery research – normally takes between 2 and 5 years and involves lab-based research looking to find ways to induce an immune response at a molecular level. The pre-clinical stage – takes up to 2 years and involves testing in animals to assess the safety and suitability of potential vaccines for humans. Clinical development involves testing potential vaccines in humans and has three phases: phase I: testing for safety – takes 2 years and requires 10-50 (usually healthy) people to take part in trials. phase II: understanding the immune response, safety and dosage – takes 2 to 3 years and requires hundreds of people to take part in randomised trials, including a placebo control group and people with the target disease. phase III: assessing if the vaccine safely protects against the disease – including prevention of infection and related immune responses – takes 5 to 10 years and requires thousands of people to take part in trials, including a placebo control group. Regulatory approval – can take 2 years and involves submitting data and information on the vaccine’s safety and efficacy to regulatory authorities for review, to gain approval. Pharmaceutical companies continue to monitor effectiveness and safety after the vaccine has been licensed. Manufacturing and delivery – require specialist facilities that are highly regulated and expensive to set up. Using this approach, a vaccine would usually take more than 10 years to be developed and cost between $200 and $500 million. Each of these stages happens in sequence, one after the other. At each stage, and between stages, there would be a lot of waiting. With Covid-19, we couldn’t afford to wait. Because of how deadly and disruptive Covid-19 is, we simply had to find ways to speed up the usual vaccine development approach. What changed to develop a Covid-19 vaccine at speed? Developing Covid-19 vaccines in one year instead of 10 has been a monumental task. To succeed, new collaborative approaches to science and global manufacturing and distribution have been created. The result has been faster vaccine development than we’ve ever seen, but without cutting back on testing and safety measures. This has been possible thanks to public, private and philanthropic collaboration and investment on a never-before-seen level. The investment needed for Covid-19 vaccine development is significant. $2 billion has been spent by COVAX alone, and they require a further $6.8 billion in 2021 to achieve their goal of delivering 2 billion vaccine doses globally. While this sounds costly – at least four times the cost of usual vaccine development – it’s a good investment, given that we’re losing $375 billion from the global economy every month due to the pandemic. To work together at speed, researchers, developers and funders have had to seek three things: 1. Unprecedented collaboration To work at speed has meant carrying out different stages of development and production at the same time, to get to a vaccine faster. Vaccine trials have been carried out in parallel around the world, not just in high-income countries, to give us the best chance of finding vaccines that are safe and effective for everyone. 2. Funding for multiple vaccines We didn’t and still don’t know where the best Covid-19 vaccines will come from, so teams are trying as many different innovations and technologies as possible. This gives us the best chance of finding ones that work, and a diversity of vaccines with different requirements to make sure they work in a variety of contexts and populations. 3. Creation of additional manufacturing capability To meet the demand for the billions of doses of Covid-19 vaccines (in addition to all the other routine vaccines that still need to be manufactured, such as MMR and polio) requires various steps to be taken: manufacturing was started before the Covid-19 vaccines were proven to be safe and effective. This was done to avoid delay when a vaccine was approved, but at a risk to the vaccine manufacturers. If a vaccine wasn’t approved, they would have to bin what they had made, a bit like making a lot of food for an event that doesn’t go ahead. some new manufacturing sites have had to be built, and more might be needed. This is because many existing sites are still needed to produce routine immunisations which must be kept up where possible to limit the burden of additional outbreaks. Also, new sites were needed to manufacture some of the novel vaccine technologies that are being tried for Covid-19, which have not been produced at scale before. production sites have to be spread around the world, to help make sure vaccines are equitably distributed to communities everywhere. a diverse pool of vaccines is needed to get control of this pandemic, so we must continue to develop additional safe and effective vaccines, particularly ones that are easier or cheaper to manufacture and deliver. This could include vaccines that only require one dose. We will stockpile new vaccines, ready for trials and emergency authorisation for future outbreaks, beyond this pandemic. 1 Like |

Foo.ls everywhere. Continue in your folly. But before you do, go and price a cylinder of oxygen. When done, enquire about how many cylinders you would need a day if you were to land in the ICU with severe respiratory distress. I am a doctor. I had Covid. It was not funny. Its a deadly disease. Yes you may survive it but afterwards you will not be 100% whole. This disease does extensive damage that doctors are just beginning to discover ranging from heart disease and stroke to erectile dysfunction. People are dying left right and center. Ask around. I'm sure there are deaths in your extended family you can't explain. Especially deaths of young people who were previously healthy. Its covid! I can assure you. Be wise! Take the vaccine. It would be stupidity if you refuse to take it but allow your kids to get the polio and TB vaccines. Jokes on you. Get vaccinated. You may be saving a loved ones life. Please. Forget all these conspiracy theories. I wish I could sneak you guys into ICUs and isolation centers all over so you see with your eyes the horror going on. How people are losing their lives needlessly. Once again, I am on my knees. Get vaccinated! For the pregnant ladies in our midst who have not been vaccinated, you better pray not come down with it. Unless your husband is wealthy enough to blow more than 50k daily on oxygen if you land in the ICU. Pregnancy, normally reduces your immunity, then you now add covid ontop. E NO FUNNY O! I DEY DRAW EAR FOR HAND. GO AND GET VACCINATED. ENOUGH SAID! 3 Likes |
