They’re probably only trialing it to see if it’s safe in humans first, they won’t even be trialing it for effectiveness.We don’t know till after the human trials which are taking place now, result is in June/July
Yep safety trials are safety testingThey’re probably only trialing it to see if it’s safe in humans first, they won’t even be trialing it for effectiveness.
I’m afraid I won’t be rushing for a vaccine, that’s been knocked up inside a few months. If it hasn’t been tested on puppies & monkeys in cages for several years then it’s not for me just yet.
Don’t worry. I caught the backend of an interview with a spokesperson from the BMA this morning on the radio and the gist of it was that the government is blowing smoke up everyones arse. Even if they can get results in the lab (which as yet they can’t) there’s a rigorous testing regime so no way will it be available when government officials were trying to suggest yesterday it would be. It’s headline politics and cruel because it’s selling false hope.I’m afraid I won’t be rushing for a vaccine, that’s been knocked up inside a few months.

Frankly, I'd be more reassured by that, then by the government telling me it can be sorted in an unfeasibly short space of time. I can accept risk, and the need to manage risk, but I want realism and competence in managing that risk thankyou very much.Don’t worry.

There is a section on the NHS website for clinical trials and basically there’s 4 stages to get through, the first being to see if it has an adverse reaction on humans. They start with a tiny dosage of the drug tested and build it up over a period of time while monitoring for adverse reactions, that’s all that will maybe be starting in June/July and that stage alone can take months depending on results. Once again the government are selling snake oil.Yep safety trials are safety testing

Don’t think it was at the briefing, think it was a number of ministers in TV interviews throughout the day.Didn’t see yesterday’s “briefing”. Did they suggest a date for a vaccine? I wouldn’t be surprised with this lot if Matt Hancock has his kids (assuming he has any) vaccinated live on TV, bit like when Gummer fed his kids a burger during the mad cow crisis!

What’s that? Common sense you say Baby shower partygoers flee after lockdown breach “it doesn’t matter because the schools are going back in June”.
Well our work has sent a message round saying continue to work from home until told otherwise, and to ignore rumours etc. about returning to work. I know at some stage they'll end up putting a plan in place, but I find it strangely reassuring they're not hurtling towards it and are at least thinking about what to do.
The public money would be better spent on infrastructure to deal with pandemics generallyPretty disheartening to see tens of millions chucked on punts at anything that seems vaguely credible

BBC expressing much confidence around the early availability of vaccine this morning.

Grim.
Same in the USA I think
111What’s the explanation? Clearly it’s not just care homes we’re doing badly on compared to other countries.
