Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak) (56 Viewers)

[icemaη]

Pills were made over time. This experimental drug came out after less than a year since virus broke out and such vaccines never happened before. But yeah "medicine nowadays is amazing and much faster". Medicine is so amazing it couldn't predict virus to continue after vaccines are out.

Technology evolves all the time, making things faster. That said, the main reason for the vaccines to be made this quick (the mRNA ones that is), is the removal of hurdles that were purely bureaucratic. That and the fact that the governments put in money upfront (and there by assuming most of the risk) making it easier for pharma companies to go all in without having to worry about cost. I don't think corners were cut or claims faked in terms of effectiveness against the Covid variant prevalent at the time. Sure, long term effects are yet to be completely determined. For that, we will need time. But I'd rather live a few more years and then worry about having heart problems later than catch Covid, have other (very observable) lung ailments now or worse die.
Should private enterprises be able to make vaccines mandatory? Yes. Should governments make it mandatory, I'm not sure.

I hear bureaucratic as only one side of the coin. And yeah, I did hear that story. However, I also heard numerous of times how vaccine simply cannot be made so fast, let alone go through all of those phases.

Keep in mind MRNA vaccines have been researched for decades. They didn't just wake up one day in February of 2020 and said hey, fuck it, let's see if this works...

You have the chair of the South African Medical Association saying this

then you have the usual fear mongering like this

Let's hope for good news in a few weeks.

Vaccines build on previous vaccines and techniques. They did not invent this overnight.

This. 100%. How people are still talking like these MRNA vaccines are a new technology that just popped up overnight is beyond me.

Yet other vaccines were built on the previous ones too, yet they were made for 10, 20 years. Not 4 months.

and what i dont understand personally is, do you really believe multiple studies conducted all over the world, studies that are made public, are faked?

I can understand mistrust of government, but do you also mistrust the medical community, academic institutions, virologists, etc? If so, you're in for a rough life, thinking everyones conspiring together to get you

Not fake, I never stated anything like that. I'm just stating it can't be normal to see vaccine being produced over 10-20 years be of the same as ones produced after 4 months. IMO it's bullshit to hear how "moeny was given so speed was increased". How can data and tests be same after a period of 20-30 years and of 30-90 days?

Ya but there have been multiple studies all over the world, where these kind of results were replicated. So while i don't doubt the data integrity issues reported by this researcher, it hardly applies to all studies, everywhere in the world.

I wasn't specifically referring to you actually. I haven't discussed this with you personally enough to know your exact views.

My post was directed more generally to anti-vaxxers who believe data and studies are faked, and its all one big conspiracy.

My dad was working with such vaccines like 20 years ago!

Out of curiosity now, how many of you would take the antiviral that Pfizer is going to release if you did end up getting sick? Particularly interested in those who have not or are reluctant to get the vaccine. Keep in mind, treatment would need to begin within 3 days of symptom onset (as far as I know) so you may not be able to fully determine severity of your illness.

a lot of guys in my office think it’s a vaccine pill

what does that even mean??

 

[Enron]

like it’s a pill with vaccine in it it, just like the flu shot also has covid vaccine it it

 

[Ronn]

Well Polio vaccine is given by mouth, so that assumption, while not being accurate, is not far fetched.

Gates knows no limits to his tyranny.

I always thought "vaccine" specifically meant an injection, and things like that or the flu nasal spray had a different name to be honest.

It’s a shot in the US and I believe here in Canada, but some countries do use OPV (oral polio vaccine).

Here. So you love coffee. Please in the future buy it just so you can put it in your lap or across your chest. Don't drink it by any means since there's no difference between internal and external and it's hard to see the line between those. You will surely enjoy it.

Not trying to be a d*ck, but I’m not following.

And what are you talking about here? Extra cash? In what world do you live in, Greg? I live in a shit country but it's not just about me here. Not even people from Italy and other countries can afford to test every 2 days in order to meet their requirements. That test is what I earn in 1 day working 8 hours. If I was provided with tons of money of course I wouldn't complain about it and I'd just pay. That's not paying extra money, that's extortion.

But what If your life choices have financial social consequences? Who pays for that? It’s not as if because you have no money makes the social costs vanish.

But people (politicians and scientists) were saying it would all end once vaccines are out. And it didn't happen.

And Mark Zuckerface said connecting everyone online will make us one big happy family. Techno optimism is a disease like Covid.

A South African study is expected to be completed on Tuesday regarding the virulence of the omicron variant.
