Such a hero and saviour.

I am sure posters will let us know if they feel they are less scared now, as you assert after reading your posts.

Mr Narcissism please tell us who are these scared posters?
"It's only a slightly more aggressive form of 'flu"

"Thousands of people die from 'flu every year: this is no different"

I hear these sort of statements every day from my own family members.

The problem is that the more these messages get repeated, the more they gain traction.

What’s this all about?

Coronavirus: NHS staff flock to anti-vax group
Emma Yeomans | Kat Lay, Health Editor
Monday November 16 2020, 12.01am, The Times
Hundreds of NHS and care home staff have formed a group opposed to vaccinations, wearing masks and testing in hospitals.

The group, NHS Workers for Choice, No Restrictions for Declining a Vaccine, has gained more than 250 Facebook members in a month. They include a GP, several accident and emergency nurses, healthcare assistants, lab workers, and private and public care home staff.

It says it is not an anti-vaccine group and exists to support healthcare workers, but The Times found posts saying that the Pfizer-BionTech coronavirus vaccine was a new frozen virus, similar to smallpox, to be “unleashed” on the world. They compared it to “poison”.

One member who works in a GP’s surgery, said that she would rather quit than help with a vaccination

Julie Coffey, a Sheffield GP, has refused to wear a mask in shops and says coronavirus vaccines are being rushed through without proper safety checks

250 members does not equal 250 nhs workers.

I went to university with med students, i trust their ability to pair symptoms with illnesses but not their ability to understand the how's and why's in many cases.

Moderna vaccine is reported as having the same kind of effectiveness as the BioNTech, or even better - 95% figure given.

This vaccine can be stored at -20C for six months and in a regular fridge for a month.

Doubt it, no reasonable investor would have made a big bet on Pfizer being the only vaccine. They're traded in the US, so we'll find out when they open. UK markets generally taken another boost on this news.

Would this be normal or would they normally test it over a longer period of time.?

It clearly hasn’t been tested over 6 months.

Considering the share price rose 15% on the day of their announcement of the vaccine, it may.
But who cares apart from investors, just great news.
Looking forward to hearing about Oxford soon

Sorry, I’ll be clear for the hard of thinking these would be the first RNA vaccines in human use with all previous efforts failing. The tech used is new.

You'd do better being quiet than trying to be clear, as clearly you've no idea what you're talking about. There's sort of some semblance of a point in there, but it's not useful or accurate commentary you're making.

I’ll be quite when you inform me about all the other RNA vaccines being used by humans then ?

Either way splitting hairs regarding previous failures to try and mis describe the vaccines is no semblance of a,point.this point in fact

The technology is very new.

Back in February many scientists were saying we were unlikely to see a successful covid vaccine
Today 4 are claiming they work and are safe, and that's without lots of others in development.
Maybe we'll also get a cure for the common cold out of this too.

Its amazing what can happen when every scientist in the planet, & their Governments & corporations all pull in the same direction.

But it shouldn't be a surprise; for decades Ebola was killing thousands in Africa, & very little happened; but once a couple of people started showing up in Europe, & America with it; there was finally a big push to develop a vaccine for it, & one was developed.

I didn't take it as being anti-vaxx. And therapeutic use is limited, but the tech isn't new, it's decades in development and there's now an awful lot understood around how it works including in this instance how it can be stored. They're not pinning a variety of answers on the wall and throwing darts whilst blindfolded to pick an option.

Nah. That'd need vaccines for around 200 different viruses - that's why we don't have one, the common cold isn't one disease, it's a couple of hundred. And there's no financial return on developing a vaccine for a couple of percent of cases of the common cold.

Couple of cases? Common cold kills millions every week! It’s just like Covid19.
