Petrified the vaccine may not work on the new strain ***title edited for clarity by MNHQ***

[Loopyloui]

I'm really scared the vaccine won't work on the new mutation

I am in tier 4 and know of 3 people with it but not bad symptoms.

I know everyone is anxious at the moment but I was so hopeful the vaccine is the way out

Where have you read that?

No one knows that yet.

How do you know it won't work?

Nobody knows that.

Evidence so far suggests it probably will work on the new mutation. This isn't the first new strain, there's about 7 doing the rounds. The scientists are evaluating the vaccines against this newest strain and should be able to take us in a couple of weeks.

It is sverige. This whole thing is scary. But try not to panic, yet.

The vaccine won't work on the new mutation

I know everyone is mentally challenged at the moment but I was so hopeful the vaccine is the way out

Reported

I’m reporting this thread because it contains misinformation

She’s not saying the vaccine won’t work on the new strain. She’s saying she’s prettified that it won’t.

OP, it’s extremely likely it will work. Don’t worry.

I mean I al scared and I mean mentally challenged as a lot of people are suffering mentally with anxiety etc

Reported you as well

Medical professionals across the world are saying this strain will still be combatable by the vaccine as it still latches onto the same protein that the vaccine fights.

I understand your fear. I felt the same yesterday. But I dont think its as bad as it could be.

I have also reported.

Why am I being reported

@Loopyloui

Why am I being reported

I think because you are saying new strain is resistant to vaccines? Which there is no evidence for.

why are you all reporting

clearly op says : petrified .. the vaccine won't work on the new mutation

she's sharing a fear!

I haven't said that I have put in the title petrified it won't work

You're being reported because you OP reads as if you are saying the vaccine won't work whereas what you meant to say was that you are petrified that it won't work, I think?

I would just get this thread deleted and start again in a less misleading way @Loopyloui

Ok thanks I see that now

@CabinClose

yes she did....i think she meant as in we are all processing the information...its a challenge

But the vaccine will work on the new mutation. Why do you think the opposite to what the experts believe?

I am just very very anxious like most people and of course overdramatising in my head

@Loopyloui

Why am I being reported

Because you're talking shite!

Mumsnet is so toxic lol

Most people aren’t very, very anxious, though. Obviously, the news is concerning. Just be sensible and manage the best you can.
