Sir John Bell, an immunologist and the Regius Chair of Medicine at the University of Oxford, said we'll probably know pretty soon whether Oxford's highly anticipated coronavirus vaccine works.
Bell told NBC's Chuck Todd on Sunday's edition of Meet the Press that researchers will likely "get a signal by June" about the vaccine's efficacy. The Oxford vaccine has made waves because of the rapid and unprecedented pace of its development and the possibility that it could hit the market in a limited capacity during the fall.
If it does prove successful — and Bell's tempered opinion is that "prospects are pretty good" — it likely won't be a one-time vaccine. Bell said as far as anyone can tell the coronavirus doesn't mutate quite as easily as the flu, whose vaccine needs to updated every year to keep up with the changes, but there's a lot that still needs to be learned about potential immunity to the new virus, so chances are seasonal vaccination will be the norm.

...so we can leech off the tax funded teat FOREVER
Not unlike the seasonal flu vaccine which is hit and miss... sigh
Like the flu shot, always based on last years strain.
Well think of it as a tax and if we can get our world back and we know it’s not the mark of the beast OK.
Not surprised.
Why does the CDC and WHO go to China every year to predict next year’s flu. Why don’t these things ever come from places like Switzerland? Don’t answer. Perhaps a good reason to relocate our supply chains!!!
My Body, My Choice. As some Leftists are fond of saying.
A seasonal vaccine? You mean like the flu?
RE:A seasonal vaccine? You mean like the flu?
Yes, that’s the idea. So, in essence, we will not have to go through a FLU vaccine as well as a Covid-19 vaccine :(
And no, I'm not an M.D., but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn.
Notice they don’t call it a flu “vaccine.” It’s a flu “shot.” A rare bit of (accidental) honesty from our “experts.”
I meant this ( sorry typo ):
So, in essence, we will NOW have to go through a FLU vaccine as well as a Covid-19 vaccine
For something which is totally not like the flu, this thing seems more and more to be kind of like the flu.
RE: For something which is totally not like the flu, this thing seems more and more to be kind of like the flu.
Yes, even some of the symptoms mimic those of the flu.
But as Dr. Zelenko of Hydroxychloroquine fame observes, it is 3 times more contagious than the flu and close to 10 times more lethal.
The batteries on the tracking device only last a year
Lol, yeah sure. I’ll take a vaccine from Gates, a non-medical guy who wants radical depopulation. /s
And Trump is all bought in on our “great” pharma companies, their pate re, and vaccines.
I’ll say this again because sometimes it’s overlooked.
We get a seasonal flu shot/vaccine to prevent or lessen the complications from the flu. That does prevent some flu deaths. How many would be an interesting number to know. We always compare flu deaths to cv19.
What if the flu vaccine did not exist and we had a vaccine for cv19. It’s quite possible the flu would cause more deaths in that scenario, but we have not been able to compare them with the same handicaps.
Well yeah. It’ll be the cold version of the flu vaccine. At least for one version.
