A number of vaccines are being distributed which havent been tested at all.


Which ones?

heres one to start with
Quote:
No idea, says Dr Gagandeep Kang, one of India's best-known vaccine experts. "Either you are doing a clinical trial or not". Clinical trials - a three-phased process - determine whether the vaccine induces good immune responses and whether it causes any unacceptable side-effects.

On Sunday, India's drug regulator gave emergency approval of a locally produced coronavirus vaccine, called Covaxin, before the completion of trials. The government-backed vaccine has been developed by Bharat Biotech, a 24-year-old vaccine maker, which has a portfolio of 16 vaccines and exports to 123 countries.

The regulator said the vaccine had been approved for "restricted use in emergency situation in public interest as an abundant precaution, in clinical trial mode, especially in the context of infection by mutant strains". (The regulator also approved the global AstraZeneca Oxford jab, which is also being produced in India.)

This, despite the fact that the key third phase of Covaxin's clinical trials - the vaccine is given to thousands of people and tested for efficacy and safety - was underway.

This one has been tested. Its in the third phase, its already gone through phase one and two, so its been tested.

Thats not the way clinical trials work,  thats why there is a 3 phase testing step. Lots of potential treatments for all sorts of things have been abandoned during and after 3 phase trials. .

And the first 2 phases are testing. You used the phrase "A number of vaccines are being distributed which havent been tested at all". Now you can make the argument that this vaccine has not fulfilled all testing requirements. But it has had some testing on it.

  There has not been enough caution and the vaccines have been rushed which was my initial point. As I stated I am not confident any of these vaccines have had adequate testing, I remain to be convinced.

Whereas I feel they have had adequate testing on the basis they have done about as much testing as any other vaccine, so there you have it.

Im not in any hurry, like any new technology I let others embrace it first and take all the risk. Until not being vaccinated stops me from doing stuff Im not going to worry about it. But it is apparent there are some issues with these vaccines and in my opinion they have been too rushed to be properly evaluated.


100% agree.

Ive just shown you that they havent had adequate testing, being approved and distributed before the end of trials is not equivalent to previous testing process for vaccines.  But you "feel" they have. Ok.

You've given me one example of India rushing through the process without completion of Phase 3. In terms of say Australia our approved vaccines have they finished Phase 3?

The one s approved in Australia are in the last steps of the Phase 3 which essentially means they are monitoring recipients for long term adverse effects.


This is from the Lancet on an article about the AstraZeneca one


Serious adverse events were evaluated in
12 174 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 recipients and 11879 control
recipients. No serious adverse events or deaths that were

treatment associated occurred in ChAdOx1 nCoV-19
recipients. There were 175 serious adverse events
(84 in the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 group and 91 in the
control group), three of which were possibly related
to the intervention: transverse myelitis occurring
14 days after a ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 booster vaccination,
haemolytic anaemia in a control recipient, and fever
higher than 40°C in a participant still masked to group
allocation. Two additional transverse myelitis cases
considered unlikely to be related to the intervention
occurred: one 10 days after the first dose of ChAdOx1
nCoV-19 was attributed to pre-existing multiple
sclerosis and one in a control group that occurred
68 days after vaccination. The transverse myelitis
cases resulted in temporarily pausing the trial and all
participants have recovered or are recovering.

In the Pfizer vaccine, 8.8% of recipients (out of 40000) reported Grade 3 (likely to interfere with daily activity) adverse effects.

Serious Adverse Events
Serious adverse events were defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or resulted in persistent disability/incapacity. The proportions of participants who reported at least 1 serious adverse event were 0.6% in the vaccine group and 0.5% in the placebo group. The most common serious adverse events in the vaccine group which were numerically higher than in the placebo group were appendicitis (7 in vaccine vs 2 in placebo), acute myocardial infarction (3 vs 0), and cerebrovascular accident (3 vs 1). Cardiovascular serious adverse events were balanced between vaccine and placebo groups. Two serious adverse events were considered by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as possibly related to vaccine: shoulder injury possibly related to vaccine administration or to the vaccine itself, and lymphadenopathy involving the axilla contralateral to the vaccine injection site. Otherwise, occurrence of severe adverse events involving system organ classes and specific preferred terms were balanced between vaccine and placebo groups.

1. We still have the Pfizer one.

2. Protection against moderate-severe disease, hospitalisation or death could not be assessed in this study as the target population were at such low risk," the statement read.

So lack of data in that study, not evidence against

they were all frail and weren't expected to live more than a few days weeks after the injection anyway. When you're that frail the slightest shock to the system can be enough to push you over the edge.


so even a case of the sniffles from a very mild respiratory virus could finish you off?

but we would still label it a "catastrophic covid death" because we do love to exagerate dont we  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes


no, they were labelled as dead due to covid vaccine. No matter how much you exaggerate Roll Eyes
