I am horrified at the NH residents thrown as human test subjects - of the 1300 people used in the clinical trials none were over 65 with lowered immunity. I would stake my life that any deaths in NH from the vaccine will be hushed..
That is quite an allegation!
It's absolutely normal when trialling new vaccines to choose healthier people to test first. Other groups are then tested. This isn't a conspiracy against an older, frailer population, it's designed to protect them. In addition, underlying conditions or comorbidities can be confounding factors that make trial results more difficult to interpret.
In fact, in the recent Oxford Phase II trials, 240 participants (out of a total of 560) were aged 70 or over. Nonetheless, the scientists involved are very aware that this does not represent the nursing home population and are addressing this. Below is an excerpt from their recent paper in The Lancet.
"The selection of participants aged 70 years and older, with a median age of 73–74 years between dose groups and with few comorbidities, might not be representative of the general older population, including those living in residential care settings or older than 80 years. Early phase studies in older adults require healthy volunteers to be enrolled for safety assessments, and recruitment to the study occurred during a period of national lockdown when more susceptible individuals were advised by Public Health England to self-isolate. Therefore, we excluded volunteers with substantial comorbidities or clinical frailty. Larger studies are now underway to assess immunogenicity, safety, and efficacy in older adults with a wider range of comorbidities."
Yes, encourage people to ask "proper questions ", that's great. But maybe also encourage people to do their research and to inform themselves before throwing out wild accusations.
