I wasn’t allowed to say anything until today, but it's now okay for me to share that I have volunteered for the Covid-19 vaccine trials that Imperial College are running in partnership with Oxford University. It's important that we all do our part to beat this virus. The vaccine is the one that has been developed in Russia. I received my first dose this morning 06:20 am, and I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe, with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι я чувю себя немного стрно и я думю, что вытл осные уши. чувству себя немго страо

I have a fear of needles, in addition to that am in my 20s and have no underlying health issues, so no. And I'm not anti vaccines.

I'd like to see more data on it myself.

There's a lot they seem unsure of as to it yet.
Offered at this point, I'd likely refuse.

It's for each person offered it to decide for themselves obviously.
However, I'm naturally cautious anyway.

The more positives that come from the trials of it however, will really decide its safety.

If it passes all the very strenuous measures that it needs to then I don't see why I should second guess it just based on an instinctive unease

Yeah it's quick but there's been no comparison in history to the global effort that has been made to find a vaccine for this thing. There's never been the urgency, never been the resources, never been the technology and never been the shared determination across so many governments and companies

By the time I’m eligible (the last group to have it) I’ll probably know what I need to know about side effects etc hopefully and make my mind up then.

If it’s all good - I’ll get it, purely because I’m desperate to travel in the next year or two.

90% effectiveness is actually quite high, despite what anti-anti-vax propaganda would have you believe (i.e. that 99%+ effectiveness is normal).

Anything over 70% should be good enough to trigger herd immunity, as it will push the R easily to under 1 which should be enough for the rest to more or less take care of itself. In theory.

Anything over 50% should also work, if combined with continued basic social distancing and hygiene measures.

Weeell it's rare that the GP would give you something that hasn't been around for several years AND that hasn't undergone years of testing before release - that's sort of the point. There are some meds with nasty side effects but usually you'd already have an illness that makes the side effects worth it whereas the Covid vaccine will be given to healthy people so it's not really the same.

The illegal drugs example of course, putting any illegal drug into your system is always going to be 1000+ times more dangerous than a vaccine... especially because half the time it's not just the drug, they're cut with all sorts of **** like cleaning products. There's been a recent spate of heroin being cut with cement powder .

yes but the point is no one knows how they will react individually if you have never had it before

Netherlands: we are more experimenting with antibodies in blood plasma again, to make you temporary immune, just to win more time until the vaccine is ready next year

so doctors here urgently call those who had the virus, moment when recovered first day to go donate some of that blood

Also true - my eldest has an ibuprofen allergy, which was a bit scary the first (and only) time she had ibuprofen. She came up in red hives all over her back and stomach. Luckily just the rash not a more severe reaction.

I had the same a few years back, my GP gave me an antibiotic I had never had before and the day I finished it I came out in hives on my arms and legs, horrific

we take all sorts of stuff that is unproven and hazardous

sweetener, palm oil, alu in aerosols, perfumes, plastics, non stick pans, shower curtains etc

this "i will wait" malarkey ignores all the things we happily use that will be looked back on in 30 years like we look at smoking now

When were they given this vaccine , do we know ?

Surely that depends on the side effects ??

Also I get that they’ve thrown loads of money and man hours into these vaccines BUT there is no way we can possibly know the long term effects for some considerable time UNLESS they’ve also developed a flamin time machine .
