Yeah because we are all biochemists and chemical engineers.  I would like to wait for more data from clinical trials, how long has the 43,000 been monitored for, what is the length of immunity, researchers say that protection is achieved 28 days after the initiation of the vaccination, which consists of two doses, what does this mean, can you still become infected within the 28 days, and if immunity is only a few months what then?

I would say that if you can get a few months then take it again? Providing it passes the stringent safety tests of course.. Looking at the safety data would be paramount, this was done in July I think so three months in already and still counting..

I'd assume these people will still be monitored? Two doses would one be a booster?

Interesting read for those pinning their hopes on a vaccine.

Only a generation to wait!

Moreover, warns Peter Hotez of Baylor College of Medicine in Texas, the first vaccines might stop vaccinated people getting sick, but not prevent them catching and transmitting the virus. "In that case we'll still require masks and social distancing, until better vaccines come along," he says.

Some immunologists think that is not all bad. If young children – who do not usually get so sick from Covid as adults – start catching the virus every winter we may develop enough immunity, if not to stop the virus circulating then at least to limit its impact. In a generation, everyone will have had it as children, and Covid will be mild. That may be what happened with the four coronaviruses that now cause common colds in winter. Genetic analysis shows one, OC43, left cattle and entered humans around 1890. It may be what really caused a pandemic that year of what we thought was severe flu, says Nicholas Christakis of Yale University, but which we now realise had Covid-like symptoms.

Given the announcement today, I'd say (very tentatively) that this is not overly relevant any more.

On the other hand, it's not a great article for those who like to put forward the argument that Covid is basically the same as the flu.

Thank goodness for you that you didn't do that - or you'd be looking a bit silly right now.

I didn't so I am grand.

Must have been the other balloon.

It's difficult to distinguish at times.

Lol.

Irony's not really your thing is it?

No smiley face? Another warrior over egging his contribution. Just keep spouting lies.

What answers to each of those questions would satisfy you?

Talking to a chemical engineer tonight, none. The 90% apparently has never been achieved in history not even close.

Ah - "according to a mate..."

PhD in chemical engineering, former employee and currently at the coal face, what's your qualifications?

Was taking to a client today at work who had Covid, spent six days in hospital, thought he was going to die, whole family contracted it..

Was a non believer of how bad it was, never knew anyone that had it until it came to his door, was very emotional talking today.

The sooner a safe vaccine comes the better

Everyone looking for a safe vaccine, strange in a pandemic they where a non believer. Would you take this vaccine tomorrow? Or will you answer with a question?

What has this chemical engineer got to do with vaccines?

He's a scientist, surely if we have learned anything from these threads is scientists know fcuk all and should not be trusted.
