Can't get nearly as cold as a freezer. Even the moderna vaccine needs to be kept in a freezer colder than the average home freezer, and far colder than a supermarket ones. They are also not very sanitary. And the Pfizer vaccine requires a specialized freezer.

It does affect it. The Oxford vaccine doesn't stop minor cases of it, but otherwise, it is completely stopped by the vaccine. Some new strains may come that cause small reactions in vaccinated people, but vaccines will continue to stop serious cases.

Why can't they just share the chemical formulae with international governments and have them order their own local parmacy manufacturers to produce the same salts under similar conditions ? The national research institutes could even improve upon the formulae w.r.t temp and pressure requirements and could even improve the shelf life of the vaccine. What's wrong in that ?

The thing about vaccines is that a temperature requirement isn't the norm, in fact, it's worrying. Vaccines take years to develop and usually have side-effects that won't appear till years later. The vaccines will likely kill thousands.

The point where we stop having an epidemic, is the point where the R-value of Covid drops below 1. (i.e., the average Covid carrier transmits the virus to one person or less.) Happily, this means that between people who have developed immunity to Covid and the people who really want the vaccine, we may be able to get out of epidemic status without forcing anyone who doesn't want to, to take it.

Two points. First you did not explore the option of military aid, I would suspect that military infrastructure like big cargoplanes could be used and that countries would like to utilize them. Especially since military is better equipped to drop in areas with lesser quality infrastructure. Second I don't think the prevented deaths wil be remembered. People never remember the possible death count. Otherwise antivaxxers wouldn't be a thing if the devastating effects of polio and others where still in the public consciousness

IMPORTANT Daily reminder that ALL #CovidVaccine are still in early stages of clinical trials despite being licensed by Gov. For those taking the vaccine next week, at least be informed about the risks of vaccine injury I would like to point out who cares you cant Believe everything you hear and see . Do we really know that there getting the vaccine its done in Front of a camera it could be vitamin c . And not the vaccine. It's all politics they all have an agenda. Better to wait a year I would like to point out who cares you cant Believe everything you hear, read ,see nobody know if the vaccine is safe. Everyone is just assuming using the public lap rats. I will sit back and see what happens after a year and just observe everything and do my research

Thinking of taking a vaccine think again! While the reasons for a desire to bring a Covid-19 vaccine to market as quickly as possible are all too clear, great care must be taken to ensure that the vaccines are safe (Report, August 31). It is 65 years since a “wonder drug” as a palliative to morning sickness in pregnant women was brought to the market, first in Germany where Grünenthal manufactured Contergan, and then in the UK where it was known principally as Thalidomide. The drug was not properly tested in Germany, and was not tested at all in the UK. Just look at the horrendous results - many thousands of teratogenic foetuses and live births. Lives and families were destroyed. Only the insistence of the late Dr Frances Kelsey at the US Food and Drug Administration that there had to be evidence of the safety of Thalidomide before approving it for sale prevented a catastrophe in that country. A disaster must not be born out of a mad rush for a Covid vaccine.

@Si Manda let’s look at other vaccines that use the same technology: no long term effects there + couple month long trials + animal trials + simulations show no long term symptoms. It’s therefore likely it doesn’t have any, other than not getting COVID of course
Si Manda 4 сарын өмнө
@Sam Burnes Nobody knows the long term effects of the vaccine, and there lies the problem!
Sam Burnes 4 сарын өмнө
@Si Manda thousands of people have already been given the vaccine and there have been non serious reactions linked to it. We also know the structure of the vaccine and see that it’s unlikely to cause harm to our cells. With both of those we can conclude it’s safe. Unlike the virus which, while it mostly kills those over 70, still does kill tens of thousands younger than that. And it makes people sick of all ages. Younger people are more likely to be asymptomatic, but most people experience symptoms, and another portion of the younger population experienced long-term effects.

@Sam Burnes COVID 19 will make you ill if you are over 80 and have health problems the miracle vaccination is the unknown due to rushing the testing!
Sam Burnes 4 сарын өмнө
@Si Manda a sore arm, some chills and a couple other minor symptoms seem to be fairly common. Much more mundane and less dangerous than the coronavirus. In the clinical trials there was no evidence of widespread major adverse reactions, so they likely are extremely rare or nonexistent. Making taking the vaccine less dangerous than risking COVID.

I believe the demand will be over inflated like the death rate of the virus. Only those 70-100 may or may not wish for the vaccine while parents with young children with 0 chance of covid death will refuse as long term effects are unknown and could possibly be a death shot.

Definitely not a 0% chance, and taken as a population there will be many people who will die. And for those parents or children, taking the vaccine could prevent them from killing older people or people with compromised immune systems.

More than anyone, America has excelled at systems and solutions. We quickly got the polio vaccine out, then later the Sabin improved vaccine. In WW2, our systems and production were, along with the Soviets, the envy of the world. Our food distribution system is our greatest asset. So, yes, I'm sure we can tackle this problem too and better than anyone...

From being completely out of stock everywhere globally, to having much more stock than needed, we were able to distribute face masks throughout the world in a matter of two to three months. I understand that vaccines are different, but with the correct approach everything is possible in due time.
