Along similar lines to a previous post about the interval between doses where I suggested 3 weeks was a minimum

But is there a point where if the 2nd dose is left to long the 1st becomes less effective, or worse still is rendered ineffective.

German regulators reckon Oxford vaccine only 8% efficacy in the over 65s. If true a complete and utter disaster.

I’ve had an uneasy feeling for months now that there seems to be a certain inevitability about the whole situation that things aren’t destined to end well.

I see Chris Grayling has taken on the hedgehogs cause of increasing their numbers within the UK.

This should be more than just a warning to put them on the endangered species list now that Grayling is involved.

It feels like the confidence level around vaccines is pretty low given the draconian measures around travel being considered and the nervousness of giving any kind of indication on when things may improve. A big shift on mood from the beginning of the year

Interesting overview of what’s been happening (and potentially why)

Let’s hope AZ and MHRA are correct. This is following on from the Guardians article from an Israel source (which Whitty tore apart) about Pfizer’s efficacy only being 33% after one jab

The anti vaxers will be lapping this up either way

There are some great numbers coming out of Israel and just googled which vaccine(s) they're using and it's Pfizer.
Hopefully we start seeing similar results with the Oxford one.

unverified at the moment, just reports I think

seems strange at a time the EU is threatening to block exports of AZ vaccine and even potentially take legal action against AZ for planned reductions of supply

Found a link to responses from the Oxford side

expert reaction to reports from Germany that the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine has 8% efficacy in over 65s | Science Media Centre

www.sciencemediacentre.org

Seems it stems from giving the Phase 3 trials to those who were also shielding hence perhaps inflating the efficacy? Antibody testing on the other hand was not affected in either group.

It's sounds like the initial source was an anonymous leak to a newspaper so I wouldn't read too much into it.

Pretty sure the flu vaccine efficacy each year is between 20 and 50% and that’s seen as effective

Flu vaccine

Not as bad as I thought

At the end of the day it’s all about preventing serious illness rather than infection. That’s the data we ultimately have the most interest in

I'm going to go with this for now:

“No idea where their number comes from. I know 8 percent is the percentage of people over 65 in the study, but not the efficacy. Not sure if the reporter got mixed up. MHRA would not approve a vaccine with 8 percent efficacy.”

Plus I don't know anything about German newspapers and which ones talk bollocks and which ones don't.

Would you say the drop in cases in post vaccine over 65s in Israel suggests the jab does decrease infection rates?

Bloody communist.
My mates daughter was back here at Christmas, she teaches in Dubai.
She said remote learning is the norm now and running smoothly though all the neccessary resources are available and there's a big culture of stay at home mum's and nannies so schools arent needed as defacto baby sitters.
Two of the big obstacles here

I find it mental that one bellend in a paper can cause things like this (still don't know if it's true).
And then our lot over here claiming "Germany" have made the claim. No, a newspaper, in Germany, has made the claim.

And using buzzwords like "War" etc. Cunts all round.
