Covid: Personal views

How many of the vaccine deniers are people being paid to be at home twiddling their thumbs?

Bigger take up of the vaccine

Mosssi, So by your logic we will get a bigger take up of the vaccine if we all take your common sense approach, where you backed a poster who said he wouldnt take it first time round.

Are you sure you meant that? If so please can you explain how that works if no one takes it the first time round??

Who really can answer that?

If everyone is satisfied it is safe, then (in theory), everyone will take it up

I am sorry but that in no way explains your logic in your answer to my original question.

Well I'm sorry, but I think you knew what I meant.

A very brave man Mr Hartford and I doff of my cap to you. Not vaccine related but I remember the furor behind the elephant man trials back in 2006.

Out of interest what would be the trigger point for you to feel assured that it is safe I.e Johnson and Vallance being vaccinated on prime time?

I think the PM/CMOs have a really important job to do here in the coming month in leading from the front in clearly explaining the benefits of the vaccine and the safety tests that have been undertaken to date.

I am not a scientist, so had to google this, but the WHO website literally states that NO vaccine is 100% reliable. Not one. And I don’t mean Covid vaccines, ALL vaccines. Flu vaccines are usually between 40 and 60% reliable. Each year it’s different and depends on how well it matches the mutations we see.

The WHO also stipulates that any new vaccine must be proven to be at least 50% effective so vaccines are hardly foolproof and never 100% effective, but they should help!
