Todd_is_God Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The most surprising development in the oxford vaccine saga is that they claim to be able to supply 2 billion doses by the end of October. To produce anything like that amount they must have already begun making and stockpiling huge quantities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said from day one, I’d rather live my life and take chances. I’m relatively young (35) and fit and healthy. Each to their own but I won’t be getting it As with other vaccines, it's the risk of more healthy individuals passing the illness on to the more vulnerable groups in our society that makes it important that as high a percentage of the population as possible take it up if/ when it becomes available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any cases of a vaccine causing harm? Actual science answers only, anti-vaxxers need not respond. The swine flu virus vaccine left a very small proportion of people with narcolepsy. The government paid out compensation as they had indemnified whatever Pharma company made it. Edited July 17, 2020 by Detournement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back in the day it was pretty dicey with the smallpox vaccine etc I think. Still worked and you'd be daft to refuse it but it wasn't 100% foolproof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 From some limited experience of medical procedure I know that if you deviate from medical standards and law then the FDA and other organisations can literally close your business down overnight and effectively run parts of it until you get it sorted.Vaccines will need to follow this, its mountains of red tape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd_is_God Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I see the normal site for UK covid deaths has paused announcing a daily total whilst they look at the issues mentioned earlier, but another is reporting 114. Breaking that down that would be: N.I. 0 Wales 1 Scotland 1 English hospitals 16 English non hospital 96 I genuinely find it hard to believe that 85% of Covid-19 deaths recorded in England in the last 24 hours occurred outside of hospitals tbh. Glad it's being looked in to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
