An interesting article in the BBC from a Dr, articulating further upon some of the themes in these fora. How we don't get to choose mmr and flu jab brands as an example. Also a very interesting observation about Pfizer test results missing out 3k positive cases.

Yes it's an interesting article. Amusing some people want the Oxford Astra Zenica solely because it's made in Britain

Agree particularly as Pfizer is also manufactured here. Astra Zenica isn't a British company either

I had the Pfizer one, couldn't give two hoots where it's manufactured, as long as it's effective, then the job's a good 'un as far as I'm concerned

The best vaccine is the one that is jabbed into my arm.

Its potentially going to be a mix of vaccines like the flu one is anyway, to cover as many bases as we can of getting the T cells to recognise the different mutations

Not exactly like buying a mobile phone is it. They roll out a new model of phone, So they don't get left behind by the competition.

From the land of haribos.

I dont think that there really is a best one so to speak, all it will do is just lower the symptoms of covid more than the others, the person would still need to wear a mask and keep the distance.

That's current guidance based on a very conservative reading of current knowledge, but probably not. (Which I'm sure doesn't suit certain agendas)

You are right there. I also would say that it wouldnt need to be foreever either.

Huge money in this one... You may be onto something. The power of marketing and media

I don't expect that we'll get just 1 course of the treatment, so the brand/type you get today could be different to the next course of treatment. It's a means to an end, it helps to protect you and indirectly benefits others and you, due to potential herd immunity. It's just a step along the way, to help us to get protection and to start to live more freely again. The vaccines are safe and effective, in their different ways and hold up to being better than none. We're not in this for the short-haul, so we should be focusing on the bigger picture. Taking what's available and offered is the only smart move.

What, like wanting to throw it at a brick wall, or introduce it to a lump hammer, then yes, yes I have

for something like the mmr vaccine do we have multiple brands of the same thing of different vaccines? or entirely different vaccines like we do for covid

lots of medication can have a different brand but be the same active ingredients so its really the same thing just a different manufacturer, i think the patent rules give the people who did the original research a period of time where they are the only people allowed to make it so they can recoup their money

i would imagine the same for vaccines because they are expensive to develop that other than covid where multiple were being funded at once , we would generally design one vaccine then over time widen the production if it surely?

All good points but the article explores a bit off at a tangent different themes. I think I probably mislabelled the thread and should have called it "read this it's interesting"

it is interesting - my post was more a musing i dont actually know the answer , my gut would just say with other vaccines a differentiation between brands isnt really relevant whereas with covid its entirely different things being injected into you

i think though the point of them and end result is the same, they have both been declared safe and the effectiveness levels are similar so ill be happy to be given any im offered

Clearly if that is the reason it is plain silly.

People I know mostly want AZ too but that is based on two key issues only...

1. Based on existing proven biotech

2. Currently AZ doing it at cost (no profit) which feels more ethical
