Most important thing - no-one who was given the vaccine in the trial got seriously ill.
Even if that’s all the vaccine can do for me, here’s my arm.
Remember the biggest threat is health care systems being overwhelmed. That’s when people will die at much much higher rates because they don’t get respirators/oxygen.
- ptaipale 6y agoA bit off topic, but as far as I understand (not a medicla expert), respirators are not as important as they were though to be back in the spring when countries were fighting for equipment deliveries Extra oxygen is critical.
- jonplackett 6y agoYeah it seems so - but they are still needed and in much more limited supply than oxygen. I listened to an ICU doctor on the radio this morning saying the problem is that ANY kind of illness with covid is problematic because even fairly mild cases often require some medical attention, even if it’s just a doctor to reassure you you’re OK, that’s fine a doctor could be spending doing something more life-saving. Here in the UK with this nee strain, the NHS is running out of resources in hotspot areas so any kind of vaccine will help.
