Re: Vaccine hopes rise as Oxford jab prompts immune response among old and young
#2This article reinforces that herd immunity between young healthy people would have been the best solution.
Our old are going to get sick from vaccines, so the young are going to get it anyway. Next year under 50 year olds will line up for their vaccine.
Meanwhile 1.5 years worth of old, obese, and sick people will have died from coronavirus.
Wouldn't it have been better if healthy kids and adults caught it in q2 2020?
(Please no ancedotes of a sick 5 year old child dying from "coronavirus", statistics are necessary when discussing billions)

You mean because of the 2 deaths?

This IS good news.
Now (soon, hopefully) people can acquire immunity through a vaccine, instead of through a virus that leaves long-lasting damage to the body (in particular, but not limited to, the brain).

AstraZeneca has agreements with all governments whereby they don't claim any responsibility for the vaccine. It's the national governments that will deal with any side effects.

It is extremely good news, but they haven't published their data yet. I will get excited when they do, and the data matches the PR (assuming it does).

“The programme is progressing well, (but) we’re not there yet,” Hancock said.
Looking good, but still months away from rolling out.

That seems fair if they are being expected to rush the development of the vaccine?

(In the UK) Young healthy adults and kids live with old/unhealthy/frail parents due to the enormous financial difficulty of leaving home.
