FfFfFfFF 58,119 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Andréa Barbosa was thrilled to be jabbed in the arm. The 46-year-old ophthalmologist is one of the 5,000 volunteers in the clinical trial in Brazil of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate, ChAdOx1. The vaccine is being developed by the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom in collaboration with the biopharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. Phases one and two of the clinical trial took place simultaneously in April in southern England, when safety and immune responses were checked in more than a thousand healthy volunteers ages 18 to 55. The vaccine is now in the third and final development phase: testing volunteers in Brazil at the Federal University of São Paulo’s Reference Center for Special Immunobiologicals, as well as at two locations run by the D'Or Institute for Research and Education. In the U.S., another vaccine candidate from biotech firm Moderna started its phase three clinical trial this week. This trial is recruiting 30,000 volunteers from 89 sites around the country to test the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccine, which would be a first of its kind if approved by the National Institutes of Health. Preliminary results from the first two phases of clinical trials were published by The Lancet on July 20. Participants had minor side effects, such as fatigue and headache, and none had serious adverse reactions. Researchers also identified that the Oxford vaccine had triggered a strong immune response in the two main defenses responsible for detecting and attacking pathogens—antibodies and T-cells. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/07/oxford-vaccine-enters-final-phase-of-covid-19-trials-in-brazil-cvd/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are starting to get them here in my country, but they're always the dumbest and more impressionable people with 0 critical thinking. There is something so sinister about NOT wanting your child to get protected against several diseases, like they think with their whole brain, their child will be protected against polio or measles just through their immune system.

Don't worry, you'll have to anyway. First responders will receive the initial round, and then I assume they'll prioritize people in the high-risk category. Plenty of time to see if you'll sprout an, ahem, fourth arm (not even going to ask where the third one is ). She/Her/Hers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
