To be fair...poptarts dont introduce genetic data in mrna sequence into your body to encode a viral protein.


Nor has any other vaccine, ever.

what’s weird, and has no explanation as of yet, is difference in efficacy of the oxford (i think) vaccine

it is MORE efficacious if the first dose is a partial, followed by a full second dose...vs. two full doses

They recommend staying home for at least the day following the second dose

I'm curious to see what the longer term side effects might be

i imagine you’re in my boat, where we won’t even have the option to get any of the vaccines for another 6 months

it isn’t a ton, but more data is better

If you lookes through the previous vaccinations thread you'd find my stance there.

This vaccine is about as new as it gets. I'm a little cautious, I won't be first in line. Mrs 99 will probably have to be.

I'm not sure there's a better (realistic) way to do it, but "congratulations, seniors, at-risk and essential workers, your reward is to be the guinea pigs for healthy, relatively young people!" is quite a thing.

Offset that with, “congratulations seniors, at-risk, and essential workers, you’re dropping like flies while the rest of us refuse to take a pandemic seriously.”

and crazy that “essential worker” can be anything from an ER nurse to a dispensary budtender.

Hey, the budtender is doing his or her part to keep people's asses on their living room couches. If that's not essential in these times, I don't know what is.

Aren't the phase 3 and 4 clinical trial participants the guinea pigs?

Depends on how long the trial is...


Also, if natural immunity after contracrion is months(?) How will the vaccine be better? (Genuine question)

Ain’t no law that says you have to take it. Don’t want it. Don’t take it.
