The Uk Wants To Extend Time Between Doses
43 Answers
Yet apparently there is no data to support this. All testing was done within the timeframe of a space of 21 days between doses. Should we be concerned?

Here's an opinion piece by a professor of microbiolgy and immunology.

A point made in Pasta's link is something that I have been wondering about as well. If you don`t give someone high enough immunity through the full course of vaccination, would you be breeding an antibody immune virus? (in the same way as you can breed antibiotic resistant bacteria if not treating effectively)
I think yes we should be concerned perhaps.
I also thought that the testing was inconclusive vis a vis one or two doses as tests were done on the two doses only and it was impossible to separate the findings.
This is for the Pfizer vaccine.
So it sounds like Tony Blair’s idea adapted.
I hope they know what they’re doing

We know about the protection stats for one vac and how much is added by the second. That's tested reported fact from the manufacturers verified by independent scrutiny. We don't know how long protection lasts for with one vaccine or two....nobody does. Its already been said that Covid vaccination may need to be offered annually like flu vaccination
As I see it, worst case from the knowledge that we have, is that the second vaccine behaves like a first vaccine and reducing immunity, if it does reduce, goes back up to what it is from a first vac.
I have said before on here that a friend of mine's husband who is a vaccine trials volunteer has been told that if he is offered the vac, he should contact the trials hub to be told what he was given (which vaccine or placebo) BUT if he is offered it 12 weeks or more from the date he had the research vac then he need not worry but should just accept whatever vaccine he is offered.
I genuinely have no idea what "we" should be worried about. Personally I would much rather see the vaccine shared as widely as possible as quickly as possible.

What worries me is the appearance of things being compromised on the hoof. Pretty much like a lot of other things.
And worse than that that it’ll be spun as something better than it is until the point comes where it’s useless pretending otherwise.
By 2024 someone will finally own up to the fact that test and trace was never going to work properly and it’s no shame to say that - which it isn’t

yes exarmy thats the current advice until they can test how much risk there is of passing it on by breathing if its in your nose say and theres allways a chance you can pick it up on your hands and pass it on. Am expecting masks & social distancing and some other restrictions to be there until around 75% of adults have had the vax so thats summer at least.
Canary, a protest petition is pointless and is just stirring for the sake of it mainly by people who have no idea what there talking about but still feel they know better than the epidemiologists. A would love to see you argue this out with Professor Van Tam
