When mass vaccination starts, are we going to see massive increases in the xxx per 100,000 instances of Covid as a result of the vaccine, or will we be able to tell who has "Good Covid" and who has "Bad Covid". Daughter asked me this morn and I genuinely can't work this out - she was worried she will get the jab, show symptoms, be told to get a test, then test positive and get sent home from work.

The vaccine is inert so you don't get Covid. Any illness you feel is just a result of your body's defences kicking off.

Very clever, I see biologically inert isn't the same as chemically inert.

Wonderful thing science!

I don't question the efficacy from the trials, the results speak for themselves although I understand both the Moderna and the Oxford trials have issues that the regulators are looking into. I would have no concerns taking the Oxford vaccine. It works like most vaccines using a modified/disabled virus to prime the immune system. If there are any issues, they are most unlikely to be a significant issue. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines on the other hand use messenger RNA and this technology has never been used before in a vaccine. I'm sure the regulators will be thorough but if there were unintended effects, every single cell in the body could be affected.
