3rd stage trials are showing positive results according to drug company.
Stock market surges over 6% around the world.
If the stock markets are surging and happy and optimistic then we no longer have anything to worry about...
Happy days.....😇

Then suddenly, everyone who has had the vaccine turns into a zombie..........

I need this vaccine to be authentic and available because business is in the toilet.

I’ll be on the bones of my a r s e if this lockdown continues.

Good news!...😇
Immunity to coronavirus lasts at least eight months and may even continue for years, new research has suggested.

Scientists looked at immune cells in survivors of Covid-19, including those that store “memory” of the virus which can activate antibodies.

The study, led by scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology at San Diego university in the US, assessed elements of the immune response including antibodies and T-cells, and found the “immune memory” may last for at least eight months.

Experts said the slow rate of decline in some of the cells required for immunity could mean it lasted even longer.

The study has raised hopes that the protection conferred by coronavirus vaccines could last for years, and that an annual jab may not be required.

A number of recent papers have suggested immunity may wane in as little as three months, raising questions over the effectiveness of a vaccine.

But newer recent research on T-cells was more optimistic, suggesting a response could last for much longer.

However, scientists said the new study findings indicated that it was possible the “immune memory” could

still be triggered many years later.

In the study, posted ahead of peer review on medRxiv, a health science website, researchers took periodic measurements of the levels

of antibodies as well as memory T- and B-cells, and other immune cells in the body.

The T-cells – the immune component that both kills off infected cells and helps B-cells make antibodies – were found to still be present at six months.

Scientists had feared that those who developed only mild infections would be unlikely to have a strong immune response, but almost all developed cells capable of creating new antibodies if they encountered the virus again.

Stephen Evans, professor of pharmacoepidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it was probably “good news for vaccines being able to provide immunity that is more than very short-term”.

Morning Dubbs. Potentially good news re the latest findings. This site meanwhile bumbles along with the Android edit capacity of a board rubber. Never mind ....

Eight months is virtually from one flu season to the next, and I would think older people's immunity wouldn't last as long as that of a young healthy person.
A lot of people will become millionaires and a lot will become bankrupt.

I would say the same millionaires will make more millions and the rest will finance them...

I was surprised to find the last post on here was 19th of November.

If Dubbag is not too busy nursing I wonder if an update would be possible?

You’ve been so far ahead of the curve all the way through this Dubs and I’d be interested as to your present position and just how bad is it and how much worse might it get in the NHS sin the next month?

Any news on the vaccine?

Are they immunising quickly enough?

When will us 50-70 year olds get one?

How well is it working?

Is any vaccine better than another?

Any info appreciated and I hope you’re keeping well.

I’ve bumped this in the hope it sparks Dubs into life again.
