"The results of Oxford’s phase 2 study show that the vaccine is better tolerated in older people and produces a similar immune response in old and young adults.
The study involved 560 adults, including 240 over the age of 70. Older patients have been hardest hit by the pandemic, with the vast majority of deaths occurring in those over 60. Data released in July showed the vaccine generated robust immune responses in adults aged 18 to 55."

barjoe comments on Oct 22, 2020:
Can't blame Edward Snowden for securing his immigration status.
FearlessFly replies on Oct 22, 2020:
@barjoe . . . apples, oranges -- Wikileaks is NOT social media.
Who is claiming that 'Russian' HACKERS are journalists ? (straw man).
No one is claiming Manning is a journalist (straw man).
Plenty (most? ) journalists worry that indictment of Assange is (to say the least) a slippery slope.

FearlessFly replies on Oct 22, 2020:
@barjoe 'assisted' or 'coerced' ?
https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Moving-the-Goalposts
. . . read the Wired article -- alleged.
The article also points out the indictment has other problems/issues . . .
Suppose Assange did help, isn't that what journalists do -- help exposed wrongdoing ?
Have you no concern(s) that government(s) would go-after journalists if this case were to succeed ? What would stop them ?

@barjoe . . . again, OPINION, NO actual evidence.
Manning contacted Assange **first**, Snowden contacted Greenwald **first**.
Where do you get the notion of coercion ?

Having read Greenwalds' book :

I'm aware that Snowden helped him install software to communicate using encryption -- unlike Assange, who only allegedly helped Manning with password(s).
