The vaccine thread

[Billericay Dichio]

I might be being thick but as the vaccine works at base level then surely it should be workable against any mutation of sars cov2.

"might"

Says it’s unbiased, but it’s very pro Tory, probably ran by the party itself

Seems to be part of what I call 'the glue club', the problem is I don't know if that is good or bad.

I find it difficult to believe the Tories would set up a website praising Tory policies and pretend it was independent ...

Tories pretend to be factchecking service during leaders' debate

Shome mishtake Shirley?

Thanks for the info, it's got to be unlikely hasn't it?

Hopefully but I guess time will tell - I was living in Keswick and experienced a once in a lifetime amount of rain and flooding three times in 10 years so nothing is impossible!

Even if it does alter the vaccine can be tweaked. Moderna are already trialling a new vaccine for the South Africa one that the current vaccines are less effective against

I wonder how many of them fall into the BAME category.

Whatever they will be low paid. Scum apparently, according to that frijj character.

The same one that was behind the William Storey Twitter account?

Having had the Pfizer vaccine on the NHS I can say they are entitled to whatever profit they made from me.

Good news but it was always April wasn’t it?

Indeed it was. To be fair is supplies are going to be coming through as expected next couple weeks it will be the under 40s using this

Any good this Moderna one?

 

[SurreyMackem]

With 3 vaccines being available soon what's the latest on the trials for mixing second doses.

No idea but I don't think it's going to come to that at all

It'll be four soon. Novavax is just about ready for approval. Sure the UK has an order already in for this.

Mrs R booked her jab 12-05 this morning having heard about her age group (55-59) being called. £ weeks time at Nightinggale Usworth.

Possibly not but it would help the logistics and speed things up. I am not bothered which second dose I have.
