Cure for COVID 19

[Nancy5]

Putin claims Russia now has a vaccine for COVID 19. Do you believe him?

[countrygirl12]

A vaccine is not a cure.  The US also says they have several vaccines.  I won't take any of them.  They also have a vaccine for the flu.  Have you not noticed we do not start seeing the flu until right after they start giving the flu shot? Most of the people who take the flu shot get the flu.  People who do not take the shot don't get sick.

All I know is I would be very hesitant  taking any vaccine from Russia.

I am not sure the vaccines we have now are manufactured in the USA. You would never know. How many times have you been given a shot at the doctor and been given the insert so you could read it? What difference does it make to read it after they have injected the substance in to your body though. There are people chomping at the bit to take any vaccine available so I say more power to them.

I once got a flu shot at the Walgreen's walk in clinic (all since closed, but reopening next year nationwide) and the nurse practitioner offered me the insert to read the name and origin of the shot.  I mentioned I got flu-sick from one manufacturers' flu shot and asked whose this one was manufactured by and where.  The information is available, but you have to ask.  In a perfect world we'd all get a throw away with every injection.

After what Russia has done to the JWs and how they have been treated,i wouldnt touch anything from Russia with a 50 ft pole.

There is an advertisement that comes on TV asking for donations to help the elderly in Russia.After the cruelty the way the Russians have treated the JWs they have got some nerve!!Take a hike!!!

[ssarber]

I wouldn't take one no matter where it was from. Hard pass on any vaccine.

Until something is approved by real standards there is no real vaccine or cure, but many are out there to be tested.

Most people likely won't get a coronavirus vaccine until the middle of 2021

Whichever vaccine wins regulatory authorization, it will likely be in short supply once it's cleared for public distribution, officials and experts warn. | CNBC



A second COVID-19 wave in Spain holds a warning for U.S.

Forget Spain’s stringent and painful three-month lockdown that started in March, crushing the economy, killing tourism and frustrating residents. In fact, it is going so not well, that some towns across Spain are locking down again, this time on their own accord. | Yahoo! News

I keep reading conflicting reports so I don't quite know what to believe anymore, some of this news is just for shock.

[UGetPaid]

I have personally never gotten sick from any of the vaccinations I have had for any diseases that I can recall. I get a flu shot every year and have not had the flu in forever. Some claim that it makes them sick and that may be the case - but it has never made me sick. I do not agree with the anti-vaccer mentality and believe they put so many other people in danger.


I would not trust a Russian produced COVID vaccine, but I will gladly take a US vaccine once it is approved by the FDA for use.

We don’t know when a COVID-19 vaccine will arrive, but we’re starting to know how it will be distributed.
Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY

https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/health-news/mind-bogglingly-complex-heres-what-we-know-about-how-covid-vaccine-will-be-distributed-when-its-approved/ar-BB18L0hZ?ocid=DE_20200907_ENUS_coronavirus_2

All the vaccine supplied in the initial phases will be purchased by the U.S. government and no one will be charged for the actual dose. As of early September, it wasn’t clear if clinics would be allowed to charge an administration fee to those getting their shots. If one was charged, it's not clear whether insurance could be reimbursed for it if the vaccine is issued under an Emergency Use Authorization, CDC documents say.

At least at the beginning, vaccine is expected to be in short supply, though CDC planning documents say significantly more will be available by January 2021.

CDC is still finalizing who will be eligible to be vaccinated first, but from meetings of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, it appears front-line medical workers, first-responders and people at high risk for severe disease will get first dibs.

There are dozens of experimental COVID-19 vaccines being developed in the United States and beyond, seven of which have been funded at least in part by the U.S. government. All but one will require two doses, given 21 or 28 days apart. People getting vaccinated will get a COVID-19 vaccination record card that will tell them which vaccine they got, when they got it and when they should get their next shot, CDC planning documents show.

Currently, two of the seven vaccine candidates are seen as the front-runners because they are in Phase 3 clinical trials, the make-or-break, large-scale tests in humans that determine if a vaccine works or not.

They are being manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna. The two vaccines must be stored at different temperatures and so will be distributed slightly differently. A third, from AstraZeneca in the United Kingdom, also is in Phase 3 trials but doesn't appear to be part of CDC's initial planning scenarios.

An initial vaccination plan

Here’s how it would work:

Medical offices, clinics, hospitals, pharmacies and other groups that want to vaccinate people for COVID-19 need to first enroll in the U.S. COVID-19 vaccination program They’ll sign an agreement with CDC and prove they have the space, the necessary equipment and properly trained staff to administer the shots.

Because the requirements for storing, handling and administering the shots are so challenging, the government will prioritize getting vaccine to sites that can reach large numbers of priority populations and vaccinate lots of people quickly, CDC documents say.
