Yeah, but I expect another 2 months for production/distribution. I really put my money on januari for a good working vaccine being distributed worldwide. But let's see what happens. Things are looking quite hopeful at the moment. Edited August 11, 2020 by lighthouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let's see what happens. wasn't the production of 100 million doses happening anyway ... so it would just be the distribution that would need to happen / potentially and of course the actual mammoth task of doing the vaccinations .... just looking up how long it takes do do the flu vaccine because that one runs over at least 8 week timescale at my surgery if I remember rightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 i thought that the oxford vaccine produced some similar results in the trials ... and that a slight temperature increase was not unusual and easy enough to treat with paracetamol ..... apologies @Toilet Duck but your wisdom is needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FestivalJamie Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I read an article saying only 50% of the UK would take a vaccine which has been developed so quickly. No doubt if the Russian one is mass-distributed I reckon the figure would be 10 times smaller than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FestivalJamie Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 1 minute ago, zahidf said: meh, rather have a fever than Covid I mean, to me a temperature of 38 degrees seems remarkably similar to covid. Similarly as we don’t know the long term effects of covid, what are the long term effects of this vaccine. Could it be capable of permanent lung damage and the like, which the virus itself could be capable of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
