The Race for a Vaccine. The Road to Demaskus

With the HSE in charge this sounds a tad optimistic.

I think it would be better to keep Ireland locked down for all next year just to see how the vaccination of all the foreigners works out first.

Well the Brits look like they will be up and motoring soon so we’ll have to keep an eye out in case they break out in pustulous weeping blisters.

I see Pfizer have submitted their Vaccine for approval now. It’ll take the FDA a few weeks to review.

Should they not have been reviewing it in parallel so we’d be ready to go now?

What the fuck have the FDA been at for the last 9 months?

Don’t worry your pretty little head about it princess, leave it to the men.

Whatever happened to the mass testing in liverpool? They supposedly had 15% infection rate. My sources on Merseyside tell me that it’s dropped to. 5%, due to either a miracle or the adoption of a different type of test.

Light at end of the tunnel :heart_eyes:

How do they know these vaccines last longer than a month or whatever? I see the trials only run for 28 days.

Science

They test for the presence of the antibodies they are supposed to produce. Similar to existing antibody tests. At this stage don’t know how long they last.

McDonkey was on the news earlier saying vaccines won’t end the pandemic. He didn’t elaborate on what exactly he meant as the reporter never bothered to follow this up.

Sounds like McDonkey doesn’t want his new found fame to end.

Did occur to me that he must be making decent wedge from all these media appearances.

He has the mean head of a cunt that would mind mice at a crossroads.

Of course they didn’t follow up these “experts” must be pulling in serious coin with all the media appearances

US authorities reckon they can roll this out within 24 hours of approval. Surely we will have a vaccine for our vulnerable/health care workers/RTE staff within a month or so?

A dozen will be shipped to Claire Byrne’s shed and the HSE will lose the remainder

I really hope we are back rocking and rolling soon.
