Covid vaccination trials

We'll said Alegrias!

Thanks NannyB2604

Here's an example of the damage bad reporting can do. DH and I went to visit a new small business near us this morning, a very nice van selling fresh sandwiches near a local tourist spot. Lovely chat with the young man running it. He told us he was going to put all his plans for expanding his business on hold because now that the vaccine trials were stopped we were going to be in this situation for years.

He got treated to the Alegrias vaccine pep talk....

Here's some good news.

Good Evening; Here's a somewhat different "take" on the subject, as appeared in one of our newspapers this weekend!

Quote; "At this point it's worth recounting that Victoria enacted voluntary euthanasia laws late last year and in the first 12 months of operation at least 124 people have availed themselves of assisted dying. Presumably, if any people who have won approval to end their lives test positive, they too will be listed as coronavirus fatalities."

So there you are! You'll be a statistic even beyond the grave (or crem.)

Just a bit of news.

Oxford as we know has restarted and is in late stage 3. So with luck we may know before Christmas.

The reason we hear so much about Oxford is that it is entirely British and we are very likely to have that vaccine.

The Glaxo one, part of which is being developed in the U.K. but American, and which my daughter is working on is different from the Oxford because they are attaching an adjunct onto the protein (belt and braces). That is to boost the immune system, because at the moment anti-bodies only seem to be giving us about 4 months or so immunity. The vaccine will hopefully be a yearly one.
Glaxo is just started stage 3 so is a bit behind.
Excuse my explanation any scientists amongst you, as you might gather I am not a scientist, and trying to remember what was daughter was saying.
