Here's something that doesn't add up, now that more younger people are getting the Oxford A-Z vaccine and reports of side affects are starting to be reported. WE are told "what that means is your body is creating an immune response. Now, that is what you want." Great. so by that rational why then is there no side effects in the over 65s - no side effects = no immune response ?.
From my understanding of the review in the Lancet the Ox A-Z was only tested on 224 participants over over 70. And in total only 5 cases occurred in those participants older than 55 years of age. They state "Vaccine efficacy in older age groups could not be assessed but will be determined, if sufficient data are available, in a future analysis after more cases have accrued."
This from the BBC--
The issue for some European regulators is that they think not enough of the AZ trial participants aged over 65 caught the virus to make conclusions on the vaccine's effectiveness. This is because only two of the 660 people in that age group were infected.
It seems to me that boris is either taking a big gamble that the vax works as well on the old as the younger groups or is using the older groups as an extended trial to find out. Perhaps the gamble will pay off in stemming the amount of older ones dying from covid - something that has continually been blamed on boris and is I think a massive incentive for boris to push it out to the over 65s.
