my god the replies.
Got mine later today
I won’t be having mine as I had health complications after the first round but completely respect people’s choice to have it.
I've had 3 jabs in total.
Need another to go to Qatar in November.
70 now.I've had every vaccine I've ever been offered.I won't stop now.
Had three and Covid, I am fairly healthy so far, no meds or issues, I think I'll rely on existing immunity and catching covid from now on, if I need one to go on holiday though I will get one.
You are making the serious mistake that you think that you may have some immunity from previous infection or vaccinations, whereas all the evidence is that immunity from both these directions reduces over time and also that the different variations in the virus can evade previous antibodies. If everyone had your attitude then it wouldn't be long before a new more deadly variant evolved. The whole point of getting boosters is that they can be upgraded to combat the latest variants out there. It is therefore very important that everyone who can has the boosters when they are available or we will be right back at square one before you know it. You could also get seriously ill, even though you haven't in the past and even worse pass the virus on to someone else who gets seriously ill. Its all about personal responsibility and thought about protecting other people that you know or meet.
It's not been the best of weeks for Steve Barclay, after getting ratioed on Twitter he has now been sacked.
Isn’t it the same vaccine with slight tweaks? I can’t see anything about only being tested on 8 mice anywhere. Any links?
As far as I’m aware the initial studies are in mice and then in clinical trials. Maybe it’s different with a tweaked version of the same vaccine but I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t just be 8 mice then straight out.
sorry but if you had spent any time reading the politics board then you'll know that we both don't know what the effect will be as insufficient testing has been done yet also we somehow know that 50% of people will die in the next 5 years or something like that.
I think the U.K. is using the BA.1 anyway and not the .4 and .5
For the BA.4/BA.5 boosters, the companies have submitted animal data. They have not released those data publicly, although at the June FDA meeting, Pfizer presented preliminary findings in eight mice given BA.4/BA.5 vaccines as their third dose. Compared with the mice that received the original vaccine as a booster, the animals showed an increased response to all Omicron variants tested: BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5.
The companies say clinical trials for the BA.4/BA.5 vaccines will begin next month; they need clinical data both for full approval of the vaccines—their recent submissions are only for emergency use authorization—and to help develop future updates. Presumably they will measure recipients’ antibody levels, but not the vaccine’s efficacy against infection or severe disease. Such trials are very expensive and were not done for the BA.1 shot either.
Weird that I can never remember anyone worrying about this with the updates flu vaccine every year.
Why do people feel the need to tell potential strangers of their private medical information. I find it bizarre to the extreme.
I have had four and having my fifth on Wednesday then every three months after, on medical grounds.
Can see where you're coming from, but I don't agree that people being unjabbed is likely to encourage mutation of new variations.
I think it's right to encourage the vulnerable to have their jabs and to encourage people to be sensible and keep away from others for a few days if they are ill. From what I've seen, the advice from the experts isn't that everyone needs a booster, only at risk categories.
