Posted on 24/11/2020 07:19 by CompoGood news about the Astrazeneca vaccine. Seems strange to me that it was only by making an error with the dosage that it was found to work better. Lets hope they don't make any more errors when they are using it.

No errors C, that’s fake news🤷🏻♂️☹️. The dosage criteria & amounts are always checked in the different ratios for efficacy. Under this level of creation & importance no mistakes are made they are all under a microscope & examined to destruction. It’s falsehoods like your statement that actually costs lives. When I first heard that rumour I researched it thoroughly & found nothing to back it up. These Labs are world class from every major world power(except Russia) they don’t make mistakes serendipity plays no part.

Posted on 24/11/2020 08:50 by Rocky 2 bucketsIt truly is better to check known & trusted sources. All the tabloids at some point have been sued by aggrieved people & companies due to tabloid stories & their falsehoods. Reputations are nothing compared to lives.

Thanks for the advice R2b. I did say I found it strange but I must admit I didn't check it with any other source. Did you find from your research why the vice president from Astrazenca was reported to have told Journalists that that was how it was discovered, or was that a lie as well. If it was I can see more libel claims being made.

Posted on 24/11/2020 09:23 by JVB66It sounds more like Guardian type news
As was advised by the Oxford scientists it was found that two different size of dose ,had better results than two of the same larger dose

What I don't understand is why they said it was 62 to 70per cent effective and then an hour later that it was 90 per cent by giving half a dose on the first vaccine. If they can save on vaccine and get a better rate it seems obvious that they will use the second option, so why release the news of the lower figure first? Either way they are amazing people, they must have worked so hard and are so clever. All credit and our great thanks to them.

Posted on 24/11/2020 09:30 by CompoI think, but I haven't checked with any other source, that it was reported in there as well.

I think we should give it the full name, it's the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, jointly developed between Oxford University and AstraZeneca. They don't fully understand why giving a smaller initial dose and then a second larger dose works better but they think the original smaller dose actual helps prime the immune system according to Prof Sarah Gilbert from the University of Oxford. You can read about it here in the Guardian. The serious papers tend to relay the information in a more serious way than perhaps the tabloids tend to do?
