Re: Oxford university vaccine trial paused after participant falls sick

Sigh. People who don't like vaccines (not saying you OP) will look for anything and everything to try to discredit them. This is probably one of the first times that all of us are exposed to watching every single step in the process of a vaccine. This is a relatively common thing to happen, and it's really not cause for concern.

Fauci (an expert in infectious diseases) says that this is totally not uncommon. So, why does everyone have to freak out now?

@squatz1 I agree with you that we should not discredit them at such an important stage of their testing, rather we all need to be patient and give them some more time to work on what went wrong in their testing.

Also I can understand why people are freaking out, because theyre scared for their lifes, and their most common fear is what happens if they take the vaccine and suffer horrible side effects from it, and to be honest those fears are rational.

However just because were scared we should not rule them out, because a proper vaccine is the need of the hour as no countrys economy can afford more lockdowns due to lack of covid vaccine.
