FILE - This Saturday, July 18, 2020 file photo shows a general view of AstraZeneca offices and the corporate logo in Cambridge, England. Late stage trials into a coronavirus vaccine developed by Oxford University and drugmaker AstraZeneca were paused after a woman who received the experimental shot developed severe neurological symptoms, a spokesman for the pharmaceutical said Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020.
LONDON — Oxford University says trials of a coronavirus vaccine that it is developing with pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca will resume, days after being paused due to a reported side-effect in a patient in the U.K.
In UK, not USA 🇺🇸 I have MS and thank god it was suspended!
Got to keep on trucking to get there
That’s good news. There are a lot of paranoid people commenting, psychotic in their fears...maybe they could make contact with their GP before they go out and do something that might hurt someone! The mental health crisis is real and it’s presented in the comments column.
Nope, never, no fkg way.
AstraZeneca UniofOxford you got him dead and buried that quick?
I still don't want their vaccine.
The reported side effect is that patient is now paralyzed. Tell it all or shut up.
All part of the routine of testing any pharmaceutical substance. Disrupting this vital process from its normal path can be irreversibly detrimental to lives.
The pause and resumption of a vaccine trial are normal. It means we are following protocols, and that is a good sign.
At 1 serious side effect per 10,000, if you gave it to all 7.8bn, that's a lot of ill people. Now, how many over 85s with diabetes and heart disease are in this trial? 🤔
You mean this side effect?
The patient was diagnosed with Tranverse Myelitis. Very dangerous, and can be deadly.
Lets all give out a collective HUGE sigh of relief.
So the transverse myelitis was unrelated to the vaccine? Or a fluke side effect found in only one patient? Is transverse myelitis now on the list of possible side effects? Y'all just abandoned the story halfway through.
Market vaccine for Monday pop
You don't pause it; you continue to work on it. Covid
Explain ‘side effect’ ....
This isn’t uncommon. Side effects happen and trials stop on occasion. Better to get it right than get it fast.
This is how the process should work.
Good news.
