Re: Wonderful News! (Vaccination trials successful)

They are saying on the lunchtime news, that people who need two vaccines, three weeks apart.
What no one has yet said - as far as I know - is do they know how long it might give protection for?

Might it be like the Polio jabs we had as children which were long lasting, or like the Rabies jabs, or would it be more like the annual Flu jabs which have to be constantly 'tweaked' every year?

Presumably if the virus constantly changes, it would have to modified each year, but as yet, they are not saying - to my knowledge.

Exactly ..... no-one knows the answers to those questions (and many more) .....

The "optimists" just see 'vaccine' as a silver bullet .....

AFAIK, the Pfizer 'vaccine' needs to be kept at minus 70 degrees Celsius (-94 F) or below - no pharmacies or surgeries and very few hospitals have appropriate storage. Presumably, any transport vehicles, too, will have to be as cold.

Last night they were saying -80°C. This means the vaccine phials will probably have to be kept in flasks of liquid nitrogen or similar.

I was listening to the Today programme on R4 this morning. They were discussing the Pfizer vaccine and how good it would be to have everyone vaccinated by the end of next year, when the guy they were talking to said something along the lines of, "BUT ... we don't know how long it will take, 3, 4, 5, or more years, etc." What? Just for once, in many, many months there is a light at the end of the tunnel and some tosser comes along and pisses on the parade!

I might now be able to get a puppy next year and enjoy a family holiday in June in the beautiful house my son has rented in Wales

Let's hope so Meg. You deserve all those things.

I reckon they had a Wuhan vaccine before they invented Covid. They just had to wait for the World economy to collapse before flogging it.

Re: Wonderful News! (Vaccination trials successful)

Well, we all know it's all about big pharma and the money making machine. I'm not so sure at all after reading this, they've have had so many scandals according to this article. Hmmmmmmmm

Nobody knows how long the vaccine might give protection as it is a new era to all. We just have to hope they come up with something suitable for us.
