    So after like what, 10 months? A vaccine break through for the rona has happened and we have more information on covid going for good. 2020 is finally going decent after ages. What do you guys think?




    so if you don't know pretty much a team of German and American scientists have tested a vaccine on 43k people with 90% positive results. Rn of course it's in early stages but still. It's also a huge step forward in other vaccines as it attacks, I want to say the S protein? The protein which most vaccines will attack.

    And it hasn't been properly tested. I have family that actually work in the field and they won't touch it.

    How would they come back with 90% success results without proper testing? Bloomberg reports that Pfizer has tested over 44,000 people.

    Obviously, it’s better safe than sorry. But at what point should we wait any longer?

    virus is also mutating in foreign countries, the virus will go from farmers to minks where it mutates and goes back to people. 10 months and possible vaccine is here, along with a mutated form of the virus that it will likely be ineffective on

    I should have stated this clearer. I have 2 of my brothers and their wives that work for pharm companies. My brother and my one sister in law are scientists that create vaccines. They will not go near this vaccine because it hasn't been properly tested. Keyword is properly.

    yes, it needs to go through all the mandatory testing phases but so far it looks promising. don't see why they wouldn't go near it as within a few months the testing should be completed

    Clinical trials take years. Side effects could be deadly.

    clinical trials usually take years because usually governments don't pour this much money in making a vaccine: covid is different. everyone is getting so much funding, so much testing is done, etc. of course it's gonna be done faster. really hope you or anyone else here won't let themselves get influenced by anti-vax bullshit

    I'll never be anti-vax, we just don't know long term side effects.

    Hell no! No vaccine for me.
    Bill gates has put his new nano chips called cummest into the vaccinernations and he will control me using 5G, no bueno bill gatos.

    But really, I'm looking forward to a vaccine. I'm very much over Covid and would like to move on, but I do feel safe enough to the point where I can wait a year or so for better studies on people who have taken the ''sort of vaccine'' to see what happens and that possible side effect could be.

    Imo it's pretty reasonable to be scared to try a vaccine that is just coming out. That doesn't make you anti-vax.

    Idk how you guys interpreted my msg but I never said that jerome called t3 anti-vax or anything like that. I just wanted to point it out that not trusting a new vaccine doesn't make you anti-vax that's all

    They're struggling to get people to test the vaccine since people don't want to get ill (or worse case scenario even die), the vaccine needs to be tested on multiple people. Also the vaccine is easy and cheap to make but keeping it at a temperature to actually work is where the cost comes up, it's around 60°-70° from what I've looked at, for the vaccine to work properly. It's also more difficult because the vaccine will also have to be for the entire world, (if the vaccine is successful). It's also 90% rate to work which means people will still die from it, the vaccine will work on most people but some people still die especially if there immune system may be weaker. 90% chance for it to work on each person, the 10% is the person who dies, that's a better way of putting it.
