Pfizer, Biontech Covid-19 Vaccine Uses Technology That Could Revolutionize Future Immunizations

  1. I think I’ll wait and see how the first million or so ppl react to the vaccine before I take it. History says when you rush medicines and or vaccines there’s gonna be unseen problems pop up.

    1. Most side effect like Cancer only show up after few years.
      That is why most vaccines take 5 ~10 years to develop to make sure you don’t get cancer a few years later. This Covid vaccine only developed for months and tested on a small number of people, and they claim 100% safe. LOL
      Not to mention this is a completely new type of Vaccine required to store under -80deg, and never massively used on human before.

    2. @Gwen Martinsen that’s true. If trump comes out saying it’s all fake news then we’ll know it works for sure.

    1. I’ll be cautious of taking a vaccine that they were hurrmian to produce; I am not willing to be a first ginea pig for them to test it on.

    2. @Jay Workman Firstly, vaccines are necessary 99% effective. If they are saying this with a new variant of coronavirus emerging in Denmark that hasn’t been test as of yet, I would be cautious. And even if 99% of people survive Covid, being on a ventilator or having blood clots in your arteries, can cause serious long term damage.

    1. @J Wallace That’s a great a question and this is why I refuse to take the vaccine until after a year or so of it’s release.

    2. @New Blue 2 Most vaccine take 5~10 years to develop. Most side effect like Cancer only show up after few years. If you want to be safe, you better wait until year 2030.

    3. I suppose we should wrap our heads around the idea that we’ll possibly need two different vaccines. Long term scenario. But this happened quickly… seems like the future priority needs to be to prepare for fighting multiple pandemics at once as Tedros only just recently suggested. Right as news of this Cluster-5 mutation started finally getting some press.

      The whole response so far feels lackadaisical, shady and reminiscent of Wuhan/Hubei from the WHO. I don’t mean this to be political. There should be a sense of urgency from the WHO that doesn’t exist.

      I understand not wanting to be alarmist, but look where that got us a year ago.

      At least Denmark is publishing everything on their website in English as well.

      I imagine information becoming publicized will not happen here in the states as Trump is trying to take credit for this vaccine now.

      It’s unfortunate politics has nothing to do with the welfare of the people.

    4. @J Wallace I agree. Although I am hesitant about taking a vaccine at the moment, I will continue to practice safe practices for likely the next couple of years and that includes wearing a mask (even a face shield in some places), social distances & washing 🙌 for 30sec. The FDA director has said that it’s likely wearing a mask will give more protection than no mask with vaccine.

    1. The leading I think are the Turkish. The scientist and his wife who discovered the vaccine are originally Turkish.

  2. Trump and pence already tried to take credit for it. Developed by Pfizer in Germany by Turkish Muslim immigrant. Took no money from US and were not part of warp speed. Soooo, nothing to do with them whatsoever. When trumpties find out they’ll refuse to take it.

  3. Absolutely incredible breakthrough. Science rules ✌🏻
    Afraid Trump has no shares in Pfizer so probably won’t buy it 🤔 Wouldn’t mind if they gave it for $10 per dosis. Please don’t prioritize Republican states or Maghats

  4. Trump and Pence are taking credit of a German development as if the vaccine is developed by Americans. I wonder how they will react if the Germans would claim credit if the vaccine is developed by Americans.

  5. *stop saying pfizers vaccine. Its by Biontech, a german company! Wtf? It was developed in Mainz Germany, not the US. Pfizer only supported with money.!* … …

  6. I think it’s hilarious that people are buying into this they’ve had this vaccine for a very long time don’t let them fool you.

  7. Vaccine can’t help you, if China can do it first time.no doubt, there will be a second times.”stay ready,so you don’t have to get ready”
