Hi

Great News just what we wanted.

A quick and simple vaccine , easy given, a winner winner.

Think that's the one that is going to be given to over-80's in Wales. Yippee!

The words "government" and "target" in any sentence should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Although I'd prefer to have the Biontech one, Oxford is the vaccine most of us are likely to be given. I expect more side effects than the Pfizer one but less than Moderna. Just my guess. DNA transported in a Chimpanzee adenovirus carrier.

Just hope that you haven't got the new strain of Covid because it probably won't work....

Re: Oxford coronavirus vaccine 'to be rolled out across country on January 4'

The pfizer one should. I don't think the Oxford lot have confirmed whether theirs will also work. They both use genetic technology. These aren't normal old fashioned vaccines.

When medicine starts being 'Genetic' alarm bells should be ringing.
Look at all the fuss about 'Genetically Modified Crops'....
Did you know that 'Genetics' can actually alter your DNA..?

Re: Oxford coronavirus vaccine 'to be rolled out across country on January 4'

It doesn't alter your dna. It tells your body to recognise the DNA of a virus. That's not the same thing as genetic modification at all.

So you say Annie.......

Re: Oxford coronavirus vaccine 'to be rolled out across country on January 4'

So the science says. If you think about it it's pretty simple. When you inhale a virus you are inhaling it's DNA. This is harnessing that without injecting you with Covid itself. It means the cells attack the adenovirus shell (because the majority of humans have never been exposed) whilst then noting it's contents of Covid DNA pattern.

My fear is that there will be unpleasant side effects in reaction to the adenovirus shell. There was talk of a fever for a couple of days but not sure whether it was this one or Moderna. Moderna is noted to have far more side effects than Biontech. I would prefer to have the Pfizer jab but they probably won't let me.
