China Coronavirus

Pointless, when Seaney or Angelo are faced with actual facts they disappear

I am asking you for firm evidence it does. 15th December one care home staff and residents vaccinated, today 13 positive cases.

I never claimed to have such evidence

You claimed firmly that the vaccine will not stop or inhibit spread

Where is the evidence of this

It's your question to answer, not mine

Field evidence in the human UK trial. Read it.

That's not an answer, it's a word salad

Looks like they will be giving more people first dose and the second dose up to 12 wks after the first.

We will be in the pubs by Easter !!!!

It appears to have a lower efficacy than the others, still 62%+, but given the choice, 95% looks a better deal to me!  But beggars can't be choosers in the current climate.

From within the BBC article - The Oxford vaccine was approved on 30 December following trials that it stops 70% of people developing Covid symptoms. The data also shows a strong immune response in older people. There is also data suggesting perfecting the dose can increase protection to 90%.

How is it worked out who gets what vaccine?

A great bunch of lads. Magnificent win for Boris, coupled with the double recently of Brexit.

I'd say that given the distribution requirement that the Astrazenaca vaccine would go out to GPs, Pharmacists etc, while the Pfizer one would be delivered in hospitals etc.

It's hardly surprising. No doubt it will be reaching 5,000 a day come early-mid January.
