The vaccine thread


Just read there that one shot of the Pfizer vaccine is 52% effective after just 12 days in preventing people form developing Covid-19 (developing = having it with symptoms) actually better than I thought, so this should already be having some kind of effect. Sounds like the scientists are on the lookout for any hospitalisation post-vaccine.
You'd like to think the mechanisms are already in place for a quick switch around with the plans if needs be
You’d think so, hence we are doing it in some kind of order - care home/NHS/over 80’s, then over 75’s, then over 70’s, then younger than 70 clinically vulnerable ... in the first phase, though ofcourse there’s crossover, some areas still not done all their over 80’s whilst some have almost completed the over 75-79 year old’s.

So 1 dose of Pfizer is somewhere between 33 - 89 % effective between days 14 to 21. Will no more as the ‘live’ trial continues I guess

100% effective at preventing severe symptoms requiring hospitalisation or death.

The oxford vaccine has data for second dose up to 26 weeks later but 12 weeks was deemed optimum.
 
On radio now
Posh people from middle England moaning cos their parents have heard anything yet
It's all over the media to let them crack on and they'll get everyone done . Fannies tying people's time up asking when do i get mine ?

Its a big problem mate. A lot of very selfish twats seem incapable of waiting two-three weeks for their date. Instead they hound hardworking people every day in the hope they can jump the queue.

That sounds promising fir the Pfizer 1 dose regime , 100% effective.

Where has this been reported ?
 
And I bet it isn't just posh people from middle England..

It’s people from every area/class mate. It’s purely down to being selfish and wanting to jump the queue rather than just waiting their turn as well.

People need to understand that full roll out will take time. I’m sure some think that every GP surgery/Hub has thousands of doses just sitting in the fridge ready to go off

I could jump the queue as a frontline worker. I'm in Essex but I could get bumped by Herts council but I'm not in a vulnerable group and I work with people under the age of 20 who are not vulnerable from a health perspective so happy to wait and let others gotl ahead of.me

dont see point of people wanting to jump queue, its not as if anything can do at moment, just got to go home and sit in your hutch. There's nothing to be gained .

Its one of the annoying cultures in this country unfortunately. See it all the time, it doesn’t even have to be a vaccine, it can be anything, no matter how trivial.

The amount of times you here well my neighbour has had it or x has had it so why can’t I, it ridiculous. Just shut the f up and wait your turn it’ll come around.
 
Yes. I don't get your point.
Weatherman says heavy showers are likely later this afternoon... You take your brolly or Gortex Jacket and it stays dry... Happens a lot. Sometimes it's better to say nowt if you can't back it up with hard evidence. Just my opinion.
