Michael W Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The Oxford vaccine is going to start human trials on Thursday. Obviously a welcome development, but the pessimist in me isn't hopeful as it seems a bit rushed. Wonder how the test goes. Do they just give them and then tell them to come back in month and see if they got it or not, or do you give them 5 days at home and then bring them onto a coronovirus ward to shake hands with everyone and then tell them to touch their eyes and face and see what happens five days later? I presume they do the antibody test but those have been unreliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume they do the antibody test but those have been unreliable. I think the first trials are just to see if it kills them. To see if it works they need thousands and they give half the real thing and the rest a meningitis vaccine that won't do anything for Covid. Then count up who dies. If loads on the meningitis jab do and nobody on the Covid one, then it's a winner! Edited April 21, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 If it’s the same drug he was talking about earlier in the pandemic then the shares his family trust owns in the company that produces it are worth about $1000. I doubt he’s trying to bump it, he probably didn’t know he had the stock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If football starts back 1 day after August here then i'd be more than happy with that. If it would delight you more that I was so incorrect in my prediction than the fact football was back then that sounds like a you problem.

vikingTON Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Stay at home 'because we didn't bother stockpiling enough face masks for NHS staff despite being a supposedly 1st World government with three months advance notice to act' doesn't quite have the same ring to it as 'save lives' IMO but that seems to be about where we are right now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make vaccines safer than the disease, the bacteria or virus is killed or weakened (attenuated). For reasons related to the individual, not all vaccinated persons develop immunity. Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85% to 95% of recipients From WHO. Of course the WHO is a useless, shit organisation that we don't need...

On one hand life has to go on, in the other your worrying about stretched emergency services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
