I have been watching all the vaccine companies of any repute — Oxford does appear to be the real deal. If efficacious, they can distribute in 2 months. Results will be in approximately 6 weeks.
The psychological effect will likely be profound and work toward reopening — I imagine there will be some stalling as something immediately before the election could likely move things in a way the masters of the universe find unacceptable.
As a critical care physician, if there is something that made it through phase III trials with validity, I would not hesitate to be inoculated. We have quietly put a Manhattan project like feel around this, and I am actually optimistic that we will have something in hand by fall.
So only vaccine$ are acceptable.
The fact that most people are asymptomatic is irrelevant. They must be inoculated too because $$$$.
Since you, as a professional, have been follow the vaccine development;
If three leading vaccines are all acceptable, would all three be available.
Would they be different?
Would we have a choice?
Thank you for your opinion.
Thanks for your expertise and honesty.
How many coronavirus vaccines has the FDA ever approved?
The reproduction of rna viruses make this a moot point. But i imagine it will be quite the money maker every year or so.
Vaxes with limited antigenic sites.. or develop natural immunity to mutiple antigenic sites by exposure.
What doesn’t kill me only makes me more immune.
Never even had the flu, nor the vax until forced to do so by Obamacare. I was young during the 76 swine flu, so i would say that exposure has kept me from every flu i have seen others go through.
