I'll take any vaccine with an over 50% effectiveness rate that has passed appropriate regulatory authority, as long as my doctor doesn't tell me not to (I've never had a serious adverse reaction, but I have family history of it).

I'll do my bit to bring this to an end, as I've done all along.

Sounds good but it’s got some drawbacks. It’s a two parter with a three week gap in between & it has to be stored at -80c which might make transport an issue short term.

It shouldn't be an issue in the UK. It'll definitely be an issue in other places.

Hopefully with the new presidency there'll be more cooperation with China and their vaccine development (I'm not saying that that's good let alone ready for prime time, but my understanding is that US funding is not allowed to go to anything related to China, which is bonkers)

Pfizer stated quite clearly they did NOT receive any funding for the development of the vaccine from any government.

And yes given the choice i will have it if it is released.

Id take it, but being under 50 theres not a hope of it or any other vaccine getting down to my age group in the next 5 years, realistically.

So how I see it happening. Those over 50 can go and have lives once vaccinated, those under 50 will remain in restrictions until our respective age groups are vaccinated. So a lot on this site will get their swinging back and being able to mix with friends, but a lot will not for years to come.

My understanding is that we will have 10 million doses which will vaccinate 5 million people hopefully before the end of the year then another 15 million by the end of March so another 7.5 million people.

I also understand that the priorities are the 1st batch will go to frontline medical staff and care homes for residents and staff.

Then the over 80's.

Then anyone over 50 in the extremely vulnerable group.

Then the over 65's.

Anyone over 18 in the extremely vulnerable group and all over 50's after that.

Then lastly althoug it hasn't fully been decided it will be available to the general population.

Quite a few scientists and virologists have said they can see some sort of normality by this time next year so I say that is a really good thing all though it's gonna be tough in the mean time it's a huge ray of hope.

To be honest even if that was the case millions of people have the flu jab without any side effects. People will always have adverse reactions to everything but it's about checks and balances. I know I would rather have the flu vaccine rather than develop flu, I also know I will take a covid vaccine because I would rather have it and get it or pass it on.

Purely for my understanding, (and therefore possibly other people's), if someone had the vaccine I understand that it would make them potentially immune, but they could still spread the virus from surface to surface physically so it would only help the people who have been taken the vaccine, and and possibly it would need to be reinjected annually.

As I understand it not everybody will be offered it.

Therefore (if I understand it correctly) those who want to take it and and are offered (or can afford to pay for it privately) will be immune, and the people who choose not to to are only risking themselves?

Vaccinate the vulnerable

I won't be signing up for this particular jab as it gives me nothing in addition to what I've already developed naturally and if it does need doing annually then ask me next year.

I won't be signing my kids up for it either and yes they are vaccinated, all standard stuff given to kids, so I'm not anti vaccines.

No. That's not how it works with any other vaccine.

If enough people are vaccinated these people are protected too. If they're not... well it's similar to what we see with measles coming back in the UK.

It's not going to be available to purchase privately for some time and will only be available to government to distribute as they see fit.

Almost everybody who gets a free flu vaccine will get this jab for free there's no doubt about that.

Therefore (if I understand it correctly) those who want to take it and and are offered (or can afford to pay for it privately) will be immune, and the people who choose not to to are only risking themselves?

"

We don't have the full Stage 3 trial results yet, which will cover the full analysis of how well it works - we were given an advance notice of its positive results. We'll have to wait for the full results and peer-reviewed analysis, to be able to understand its full scope.

With a very high level of protection, it will be easier to achieve herd immunity, which will protect everyone, once sufficient levels of the population have been vaccinated, including those unable to have it, due to medical reasons etc. It was herd immunity that helped to stop the higher incidence rates of measles here, until some parents stopped vaccinating their children.

In short, we just need to wait a little while, until we get the full details from the trials. The Oxford vaccine will likewise get its results published too. With 2 or more vaccines available, there could be choice over what someone may receive - both, or others too, woll contribute towards herd immunity.

It's been stated this vaccine does not make you immune against covid. It only helps towards suppressing it in exactly the same way the flu jab works. It does not stop you contracting it "

That was my understanding too. Unless I'm mistaken it therefore does not stop you passing it on either. Just reduces the catching of it and its spread. Something that the change is some people's behaviour has been doing too.

I'd be more worried about what Covid can tell your dna to do and worse still how the effects of contracting Covid could be passed genetically to future children.

All viruses have the ability to modify your dna including some causing cancer

Not really DNA.

This is RNA - a protein that DNA tells the cells to make.

There's a nice lightweight explanation of RNA vaccines (pre covid) if you Google "RNA vaccines: an introduction PHG Foundation.

I'm NOT a virologist, but I don't see this turning anyone into a monkey...

So then I feel the people who who can't have it and are also vulnerable, (of which I magine there would not be many) would likely be advised to keep social distancing for the foreseeable future I imagine.

It will still be spreading between people, but many people will have developed immunity or or have been vaccinated.

If there are a few different vaccinations available though, there may be different choices depending on what triggers allergies etc.

I feel it would not be considered anything more that a personal choice for those who choose not to have it, as as everybody may be able to spread it, regardless of whether they are vaccinated or not, so they are only making choices about their own health not their ability to spread it to other or vulnerable people.

There would be no need for the immunity passports that have been discussed before, as regardless of immunity we are likely to still be able to spread it.

Just reading about it, the 90% success rate is based on a trial of 44,000 people where 94 became symptomatically infected, across three different countries.

In other words, it’s not a very big trial.

"Id take it, but being under 50 theres not a hope of it or any other vaccine getting down to my age group in the next 5 years, realistically.

So how I see it happening. Those over 50 can go and have lives once vaccinated, those under 50 will remain in restrictions until our respective age groups are vaccinated. So a lot on this site will get their swinging back and being able to mix with friends, but a lot will not for years to come.

I doubt you have to wait 5 years! Where did you get that from? "

Think that number is the total of the multiple trials done but the number of different people involved in the trials may have been about a third of that figure.

The misleading information is one assumes all trials have been done, however this is far from the case, one of the trials showed 90% effective. What was that trial? What other trials have yet to be done? Will we know the results of these other trials?

Certainly plenty of existing instance of viral infections from childhood coming back to haunt adults. Forty odd years ago i had chicken pox. Now I'm prone to outbreaks of shingles when stressed and run down. It's bloody painful and can be life changing - last outbreak was on my face and doctor told me that if it wasn't for the strong antiviral drugs now available it could have spread into my eyes and caused blindness.

Or... 90% of the time this will work and 10% of the time you'll get a sore arm and it won't work?

The flaming death scenario are one in millions chances, something that anti vaxxers tend to forget.

Vaccine preventable disease? Just a sniffle. Measles wasn't a big deal. Deaths? Nah. Good nutrition sorts that out.

Covid- inflate survival rate, conflate survival with recovery. Long term effects don't exist and they refuse to address them.

Vaccines? Ooh this (one in millions) bad thing happened with a vaccine once, so you have a one in ten chance of a gory death!

Please.

"Sounds good but it’s got some drawbacks. It’s a two parter with a three week gap in between & it has to be stored at -80c which might make transport an issue short term.

S

It shouldn't be an issue in the UK. It'll definitely be an issue in other places.

Hopefully with the new presidency there'll be more cooperation with China and their vaccine development (I'm not saying that that's good let alone ready for prime time, but my understanding is that US funding is not allowed to go to anything related to China, which is bonkers)"

It is 90% effective and More than can be said for a lot of medication available that we take daily in this country.

It’s as I said, the 44,000 and 94 figures I gave above are specifically the Pfizer vaccine trial that they’ve run across three countries, not any other vaccine trial.

I too had a bad bout of shingles in my mid 70s an was lucky enough to get an appropriate vaccine, this is only available to people between the ages of 70 to 80. The vaccine can be obtained privately at a cost of around £150 - £200, talk to your G.P.
