i understand that. how do you get the data? there's also 100s of thousands of people willing to go through the trials sight unseen. and tens of thousands/hundreds for other vaccines.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 1:54 pmMost vaccines are tested for years to determine the long term impact. Here we won’t have that data. No way you can squeeze long term impact into 4 or 5 months unless you have a time machine.wgdsr wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 1:45 pmabsolutely i'd send them, dmac. unless you're talking about the russian vaccine, whatever wins out is going to have 10s of thousands of participants in 3rd stage trials.HooDat wrote: ↑Fri Aug 07, 2020 11:37 amWouldn't dream of sending my kids - all evidence says they don't need it unless they have some other condition.

After a discussion of how to think about it on average, then possible different answer for those at high-risk.
personally not a big flu vaccination person, though wife has had kids/herself doing it annually all the way up.
and flu is redeveloped every year. on similar platforms maybe annually, but still introduced to any individual who may have an issue.
is anyone going to wait 4-5 years for the data? if sooner, that person is just making it on a different timeline.
it's a decision everyone gets to make on their own. at least i hope that's what it will be.
