Re: Pfizer or Oxford?
@41-42, ah, I see. Oh, lets lockdown for 8-10 years while we over-extensively test a vaccine for something while hundreds of millions of people parish. Good idea! (I get the sense that you don't have a biology major, yet its you who's doing the armchair biology... Strange, don't you think?)
Here's the thing: our legal process for approving a vaccine is ridiculously over-complicated and isn't equipped to handle pandemics. At all. Especially with something like COVID-19. MRNA tech has been studied extensively, and its highly unlikely that any long-term effects exist because of its use. Yes, those effects aren't entirely known, but we can use research that's already been conducted in the technology to draw conclusions.
Also, post 41 was a ridiculous over-reaction. Like come on, dude. Challenge trials would work in a country like the US where we'd (obviously!) have procedures in place to ensure peoples safety while performing them. Hell, you could argue that the trials we execute are, in fact, challenge trials, since we have to find people with a particular condition, and then test the vaccine on them to see if it works. Yes, those deaths should be investigated, but just because they happened doesn't mean that they'll happen in everyone who gets it. And, obviously, they'll be investigated. But just because 1300-1400 people died doesn't mean that we should halt all distribution of the vaccines.
