oak why then use that as a stick to beat the Oxford vaccine?

What are you not questioning other vaccines too?

I think my biggest gripe is that your arguments to not seem to be balanced at all.

Its all Anti Oxford and nothing else.

@Wakeupin2022 my arguments are. The data fir Pfizer/Moderna is robust in well run trials. Yes Pfizer has had allergic reactions but this is easily explained if you search (a product which is in I’ve cream etc) Moderna had Bells Palsy (resolves). If you dare to search Oxford and SAE’s it gets v murky. Suing Indian participant and two TM’s which have apparently a possible Biological Cause (but deemed unrelated).

Look guys instead of asking me, research the points I raise. It’s all there.

@Oaktree55

We still don't have enough of it and are unlikely to be able to source more within the next few months. Doesn't matter how fabulous it is if no-one can actually have it.

@Sunshinegirl82 absolutely agree 100%. Unfortunately U.K. shouldn’t have put all its eggs in Oxford basket! The latest fail. To be fair they’ve ordered 60m doses of Novavax which I’d bet money will be our eventual saviour it’s just March/April onwards.

Right. So in the actual real world then it remains Oxford now (if approved) or nothing for months. Criticise as much as you want, it changes nothing.

@Oaktree55 - surely you realise you're just lying now?
The Lancet article has been posted many times and contains all the info, including confirmation about the control group case and the one who had pre-existing multiple sclerosis: www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)32623-4/fulltext.

Unfortunately U.K. shouldn’t have put all its eggs in Oxford basket! The latest fail.

Not true. In fact, UK did a pretty good job procuring multiple vaccines from multiple manufactures (5 dosages per person - for comparison, the EU is 3 dosages per person with the potential to expand to 4.1):

In general, re:all vaccines

I assume the trials themselves were put together according to some sort of min industry standard. Don't know anything on that, so won't question it.
But what I did notice is what data and how they use it. And I'm talking about additional data, not measure it type of thing.
There have been 100.000s of ppl in trials world wide with the many vaccines. Yet i cannot find anything on if any of then had Crohn's or Colitis. This is a simple question. if trial patients are cross referenced with NHS (in the UK) -which I don't know- then it's even easier.
It would be interesting to know if there was x cron's patients in remission/in flare up and how they reacted. It's a simple set of questions and then the database can be queried to show it. It's quite simple. Yet none seem to gather too much additional data.

@mrex I’m not lying there is much debate over the TM events and yes they’re deemed unrelated but if one more occurs on rollout it’ll be a huge problem and the Janssen trial (same vaccine type had a neurological event). Not my area but there’s discussion I’ve followed that there’s a plausible biological mechanism that this vaccine type can cause this event.

One example there’s better debate than this but

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good

Strangely most of us can't 'research the points you raise' Oak as we are not scientists and are not privy to the full researcgh data - 'research' seems to be a proxy for 'follow someone on Twitter who claims to be knowledgeable and who agrees with me'.

It’s something to keep on radar and if it occurs again on mass rollout we’ve got issues.

What I have liked about this thread so far is that whenever people wanted to convey their views they (1) formulated them logically and clearly, (2) provided credible links to their information sources and (3) never suggested that others do their own research/use google/data mine multiple twitter posts to get to the bottom of the argument.

The only notable exception to this was the debate on schools and, unfortunately, we all remember how it ended.

Yes I think following experts who are verifiable is a good idea, Twitter or not. It’s free expert opinion which would cost a lot in the real world. I certainly think it’s preferable to unqualified anonymous people giving opinions.

@TheSunIsStillShining specifically for Crohn’s and Colitis I imagine that would be incredibly hard data to collate. Flaring isn’t a yes no question (and I say this as someone who has had Crohn’s for 25 years), for most patients it isn’t a switch between two states but a spectrum, how would you quantify it? Disease scores are good for tracking the same patient over time for a Crohn’s drug trial, but not for a short term snapshot for a non Crohn’s drug.

I for example continuously bleed from my small intestine (I don’t have a large intestine) and empty my pouch between 10 and 20 times a day. For some people that would be a score off the charts, for me it’s totally normal and I’m not even currently taking anything as I reserve that for when it gets worse. If I had been in the vaccine trial, how would my Crohn’s score be reported?

@wintertravel1980 how can you possibly advocate people rely on anonymous posts to educate themselves? Every point I’ve raise I’ve said is verifiable if people read up. That’s surely a good thing.

Exactly. There's no evidence to all of this ranting except we're told to research.

I did rather hope the vaccine discussion was going to go to the vaccine thread

@TheDinosaurTrain
Very fair point. I'd classify flare=on medication for it. remission=no medication related to crohn's.
Even this would be helpful. And maybe go further if medication - what type? imunosuppressants, steroids, etc.
I don't envy you. I have all parts of my guts as of yet, but dread the moment when that won't be the case any more.
If you don't mind me asking: were you in the UK when it all started and how long did it take to get a diagnosis? and one more: have you heard about Mutaflor?

@JamesAnderson vaccination is the most important next step in the control of this Pandemic (which to date has been abysmal) and yet there’s abject denial on this thread. It’s mind boggling. Shoot the messenger springs to mind because I’m not fitting into the way you guys communicate which is basically if you don’t fit what you want to hear then go. It’s really bizarre.

But you're not telling me where.

Saying to Google (since when did Google become a verb? 😲) isn't good enough. I don't want to have to search the internet to verify what you say.
If you have links to articles please post them

To me you're anonymous 🤷🏼‍♂️
