Some use to spin some crazy narratives on the Internet
The vaccines | vaxxed boosted unvaxxed? New poll
- Thread starter Badunk
- Start date
I dont think any scientific research has been done on this issue. So I'm not sure. Hehe.
Is that some form of jest? Else it doesn't sound like a great 'descent'?! Hope all is OK.I think I'll be getting vaccinated imminently, probably within 2-4 weeks I'd imagine. Will be pfizer I'd guess, looking at the options.
Will keep you guys updated as I begin my descent into an acute demyelinating disease.
It is a joke. One person in a trial got this but it wasn't judged to be caused by the vaccine.
Phew!
Looks like i could be getting the jab in 2 weeks. NI health minister said healthcare staff to start on 14th December. Ill let you know how it goes!
Presumably the Oxford one? Yeah be interested to hear about it.
Pfizer i think
Lucky you!
Look at @balaks, being able to get vaccinated.
It's almost like there are 160+ countries all sharing knowledge and working together through the WHO.
I'm queuing outside the GP's office already. Might be a bit of a wait though.
Some countries have already approved them?
Pfizer gets UK MHRA approval
Excellent news, hospitals apparently are getting freezers. The news of these vaccines being able to be stored for up to five days in fridges for administration afterwards is also good
Congratulations, guys!! We're hopefully at the beginning of the end
UK approves Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, first in the world

Here we go! Total agreement.
Straight down to the doctor this morning. Won’t take no for an answer. “Horse it into me there boss”. I’ll be back licking toilet seats by nightfall.
Emergency use.. so just healthcare and old people for now, right?
We'll have a huge amount of data from the most high risk demographic in about 2 months time.. hope it goes well.

Great news!
Matt Hancock says 800 000 jabs ready to go next week, production line/supply chain is then dependant on Pfizer’s manufacturing in Belgium
Inject me now, I'll take the hit to get the Country going. Eyeball, arse, fingernail. Stick it where you like if it sorts us all out.
Just a reminder from the US that we're going to read a lot of horror stories about this rollout - from the UK, the US and the rest of the world. Personal anecdotes and rumours are just that, any real news will come from the statistical process that will be monitoring it.
Or a cyclical view would be the others have realised someone is about to release one and they need to rush theirs so they can get a big slice of the financial pie too!
Here's a good thread on Twitter summarising issues likely to affect the US rollout (assuming the FDA approves Pfizer soon and Moderna soon after that).
Their "phase 1" - people in residential care and key workers - covers about 120m people (who presumably will be prioritised within that) and will take Q1 and beyond.

The problems with these stats is there is nothing to suggest these people wouldn’t have died or had these problems without the vaccine either.Just a reminder from the US that we're going to read a lot of horror stories about this rollout - from the UK, the US and the rest of the world.

Isn't it 2 jabs for this vaccine for the full effect? If so, that's "only" 400k people?
There's two, yes. A booster follows 21 days after the initial jab which would imply it's a different level dose. So it could well be 800K complete jabs available.
Inject it into my veins.
That is exactly how I feel too - I'll be trying to get it as soon as I possibly can.
Thats the argument covidots are using to open up.....
That's a bit of a roundabout way of looking at things
You'll probably find if you pick any 10m people or maybe any in the demographic who will get the initial vaccine that is true.
That's the point - that's what will happen without covid and without a vaccine to an average group of 10m people in the US. That just normal life. But those normal deaths/illnesses will get used as ammo on Facebook and Twitter etc by the antivaxers and conspiracy theorists.
I'm just reminding people about the sheer number of "my friend's mum, who's a nurse in her fifties had a stroke a week after taking the vaccine," stories we're going to see.
Monitoring will be close, the statisticians will be watching intently.
Goes without saying that the counter-anecdotes about friends mums stroking out a week after catching covid won’t get as much traction (despite there being a more plausible cause and effect in the latter scenario)
Fantastic news and a huge achievement to get a vaccine out this year. Human beings aren't so bad when we work together towards a singular goal. Let the Nobel prizes flow!
Makes you think about where society could really be if there was cooperation on more things
