Guest Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The University of Oxford says the late-stage trial of its COVID-19 vaccine in Brazil will continue following reports of a participant's death. The university said it can't comment on specific incidents but an independent review found no reason to be concerned about the safety of the Brazilian trial. It says an "independent review, in addition to the Brazilian regulator, have recommended that the trial should continue." The Oxford vaccine is being developed in conjunction with the international pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. Trials are underway in the United States and the UK., as well as Brazil, to determine whether the potential vaccine is safe and effective in humans. https://www.looptt.com/content/oxford-vaccine-trial-continues-amid-death-report Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsemanche 97,820 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I read on reddit that the person who died was part of the placebo trial group. They weren't given the actual vaccine. I'll try to find the source and link it here. There it is: I think the thread was removed because he received a placebo (it has a misleading title: he got the placebo tag under it) Also the Washington Post reported the same thing https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/world/the_americas/coronavirus-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccine-trial-death/2020/10/21/3f5bedac-13c0-11eb-ad6f-36c93e6e94fb_story.html%3foutputType=amp Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsches 17,553 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 My condolences to the deceased patient. However, it doesn't say anywhere that the patient died because of side effects of the vaccine. It could have been Covid or anything else. Plus it was just one out of so many participants. So let's stay hopeful guys! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
