Great news on the vaccine!!

[Mottie]

He's done bloody marvellous in my books.

So Boris has done well then

I'd say he's done his job. He and the Tories should get credit for shaking the money tree vigorously.

Not quite, this one is mRNA, which is brand spanking new. The Oxford one is a more traditional vaccine.

In theory mRNA should be easier to tweak apparently but it's a new one on me.

That's not what the scientists were saying earlier.

They probably know more than me, any links so I can correct myself?

Great news though e. Hasn't Boris done well.

Yes, if and when they arrive.

 

[Charlie George]

Fxxk... never thought of that. Is it from the 13th to apply for the 3rd grant?

From 30th of this month for 3rd SEIS grant, good news on vaccine as well .

So the RW on here are cheering a vaccine about a virus they first denied existed and then downplayed and then fought against the lockdowns to protect its spread.

Satire is dead.

Well yes, I'm no virologist Sadly no links as it was a TV interview, I didn't catch the guys name. However, I do remember them saying the astrazeneca vaccine was using similar methods and is likely to be effective if this one proves to pass the bar.

Two options early on is a win, others will follow now they know the RNA approach is fruitful.

Thanks. Hmm must be missing something, the AZ vaccine isn't an mRNA based vaccine according to the link but there must be enough similarities for discussions to be had about it's now apparent viability. Any chance you're able to explain?

Put very simply it's a differing mechanism to get your body to produce the protein spikes that identify the covid virus. The Oxford one may have and advantage in that it causes you to produce 2 signature covid proteins, theory being it should help with potential virus mutations.

And one also has to wonder how this 'miracle' jab came about so quickly, with the accompanying sudden gain in the value of stocks that the billionaires/corporates bought at low values

Or maybe stop millions Dieing and suffering..You are sounding like a loony flat earther conspiracist.

GPs will be rolling out the vaccine under their DES contracts which they are still negotiating.

I've just come out of the hospital, and been told I may need a scan "which will have to be booked via your GP".
Which the doctor followed up with "If you can get hold of them."
The doctor clearly needed to vent, and did.
"We've worked straight through, and the GPs have locked themselves away for so long, they're scared to come out now!"

I think it depends on your GP. I am still able to see mine - took my son in who had an ear infection. I think as you have mentioned some are trying not to see patients.
