Would be interesting to see the evidence, tried googling it but the only thing that came up was the Royal College of Paediatricians saying media reports had been incorrectly suggested that children cannot transmit COVID-19 based on their research.
OK what am I missing because I've read the article and this seems a fairly key line "All of the vaccinated monkeys treated with the Oxford vaccine became infected".
I found Emirates to be terrible in economy. Singapore Airlines’ economy is actually not bad at all, went in business with them before as well and that was brilliant.
It looks like there is a possibility while it doesn't stop the momley from getting the virus the effects are far less.
Also seems to suggest that it doesn't last very long so a key will be is it as effective when given again. That would also impact the ability to immunise everyone. Its a huge task to immunise millions in the first place let alone if you have to repeat it every few weeks.
Yep they need to see how long it works for but if it lasts say 6 months it would worth it but there is a long ling way to go
Knowing this government they’d make the 30 million vaccines a) without testing it or b) know it doesn’t work but make it anyway.
They obviously won’t
We don’t know till after the human trials which are taking place now, result is in June/July
Unlike the 3 million antibody test kits they brought that didn't work
We're all good if there's a sudden outbreak of malaria though.
Ah the malaria cure that lists one of it's aide effects as heart failure
They’re probably only trialing it to see if it’s safe in humans first, they won’t even be trialing it for effectiveness.
Don’t worry. I caught the backend of an interview with a spokesperson from the BMA this morning on the radio and the gist of it was that the government is blowing smoke up everyones arse. Even if they can get results in the lab (which as yet they can’t) there’s a rigorous testing regime so no way will it be available when government officials were trying to suggest yesterday it would be. It’s headline politics and cruel because it’s selling false hope.
Frankly, I'd be more reassured by that, then by the government telling me it can be sorted in an unfeasibly short space of time. I can accept risk, and the need to manage risk, but I want realism and competence in managing that risk thankyou very much.
There is a section on the NHS website for clinical trials and basically there’s 4 stages to get through, the first being to see if it has an adverse reaction on humans. They start with a tiny dosage of the drug tested and build it up over a period of time while monitoring for adverse reactions, that’s all that will maybe be starting in June/July and that stage alone can take months depending on results. Once again the government are selling snake oil.
Don’t think it was at the briefing, think it was a number of ministers in TV interviews throughout the day.
