We conduct the clinical trials and do the other things not because we are bored, but because using a rushed vaccine we couldn't test for long-term side effects is reckless enough.
- jjeaff 6y agoAre there any real world examples of serious long term side effects from ill-advised vaccines?
- anoncake 6y agoA rushed H1N1 vaccine caused narcolepsy, for example. If there was no risk of long-term side effects, why would anyone conduct trials to exclude them?
- jjeaff 6y agoOh, I fully agree there is risk of long-term side effects and that trials are crucial. But was just curious if there had been any cases of things like that getting through trials and other safeguards.
- rurban 6y agoWhat would the side effects of the common cold be? A common cold maybe?
- anoncake 6y agoIs Sputnik just a common cold virus, without any modifications?
- rurban 6y agoWith mods. Sputnik was the world's first satellite. Sputnik V (for Vector) is the nickname for the first "approved" Covid-19 vaccine, but isn't really if you look closely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gam-COVID-Vac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gam-COVID-Vac Vector means that the common cold adenovirus (the base with the big ACE2-attracting head attached but hopefully harmless) is used to infiltrate the body, first as Ad26 variant and then after three weeks the Ad5 variant. This should create enough antibodies in healthy persons to fight off the SARS-Cov-2 variant. They could have called the Vector also Rocket because it's the carrier, but Sputnik V matches Saturn V much better. Sputnik R doesn't sound that good, and a vector sound less harmful than rockets or carriers.
