Thalidomide is a drug, not a vaccine.

Comparing a vaccination to a drug like Thalidomide is just scare mongering anti-vaccination BS.

Depending on the type of vaccination it may or may not me suitable or recommended for pregnant women.

My understanding is that there's 3 different types of vaccination currently being worked on. I don't know which type the one with all the chatter is but I know the one in Oxford is a different type and it might well be the case that we need both types.

Stop trying to cause fear and worry in people, it's still early days we have all of winter yet to get through and more trials before approval.

Thalidomide was a watershed moment for the mhra as well.
Those mistakes won't get passed them ever again. I've dealt with them in a drug based situation and they miss nothing.

Nobody is being injected with a vaccine, let alone billions of people, purely off the back of preliminary data released by the manufacturer regardless of how many doses have been bought in advance. Pfizer/BioNTech have to release all their data first and it has to pass rigorous regulatory scrutiny by MHRA before it could be cleared for use in the UK.

It's a small piece of genetic material incapable of forming the fully functional virus. Well over 20k injected twice without a single serious side effect. THAT is too risky but the risk of catching the virus itself and passing it on to others, including family and friends, is perfectly OK?

Not scaremongering
It's just not fully tested
If you feel confident in Pfizer go ahead
I know i will be waiting a bit longer

And the difference between that and a flu jab? The immune system kicks in. Some people can feel unwell for a few days. It cannot cause Covid and it can't kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Possibly feeling unwell for a day or two, bad. Catching virus and maybe dying or killing the people you pass it to, OK?

Really? And the difference between that and a flu jab? The immune system kicks in. People can feel unwell for a few days. It can't cause Covid and it can't kill tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of people.

Which one are you quoting?
The first one shows the US are set to roll out during November without being fully tested which is why i said I'm glad i don't live there.

The other one is just for information purposes.

For the record I'm not in a position to be deciding anything yet till more data is released.

On another note though messing around with the genetics of a coronavirus and then injecting it into people has got me wondering again where the virus came from in the first place.

Fully tested? It just finished phase 3 trials. And it still has to be passed by the FDA based on full disclosure.

Virtually every expert in the world who's looked at it and is qualified to know what they're talking about says it's not an engineered virus. I won't pretend to know more than they do.

Released accidentally or on purpose from a research facility is certainly possible. Impossible to know or prove/disprove. But an engineered virus - not according to the people who would know.
