Vaccine Trial Stopped Due to Severe Reaction

I noticed they didn't say what the reaction was either.

Several articles mentioned "Serious Illness." You can bet it was - if not death.
Since the idea is to get people to have the vaccine, they can be expected to downplay anything negative.
 

Since I'm allergic to so much stuff I doubt I'll be able to take it. From what our governor is saying it isn't sounding like they're planning to try to force people to take it. I don't see how they could legally. Back when they forced those polio vaccinations on folks weren't there people who couldn't take them? Do you know?
 
An article in today's Telegraph (London) said it was a case of transverse myolitis (an inflammation of both sides of one section of the spinal cord). It seems to be a rather uncommon ailment. It's believed that it may be associated with certain viral infections. Astro Zeneca says they're trying to determine whether it was caused by the vaccine or was unrelated.

Thanks for the update.

Since I never heard of Transverse Myelitis, I looked it up.
"Common neurological deficits resulting from transverse myelitis include severe weakness, spasticity, or paralysis; incontinence, and chronic pain. In some cases these may be permanent." Recovery can take two years."

Well, I prefer a virus, thank you....

Yeah, I'm not signing up for transverse myelitis either.
 
I guess that's why they test.

When the testing started I read that they were enrolling 30,000 people in the test and so far we have one serious reaction reported.

I believe that it's important to understand what is happening with the individual and if it's connected to the vaccine but I don't see cause for alarm at this point unless you happen to be that one person.

There are dozens of trials. This is one incident. It almost sounds as if some of y'all don't want a vaccine. Yet. I wonder why?

It's not a matter of don't want. It's a matter of wanting what's safe. I think too many people are gonna be putting too much hope into a vaccine that may not be as effective as they're hoping for.

I don't recall polio being forced on people. Children were required to show proof of vaccination before starting school. The military probably also required it.

I don't remember anything like that, either. As you say, children had to have it to go to school (or a waiver for having a medical reason not to get it), which in my opinion was a good thing. Polio is an awful thing, and most folks lined up gratefully to get the vaccine, our family included.

The key words are not "Don't want."
They are "Don't trust."

Exactly. Somewhere around 25% - 33% of Americans are on the record as not trusting a vaccine until the test subjects have had it marinating in their bodies for more than a couple of months.

A brand new illness - the effects of which still aren't fully understood.
A brand new type of vaccine (no other corona virus vaccines exist), rushed through at an unprecedented pace.
Extraordinary amounts money to be made by big pharma (whose reputation for safety over profits has gone in the dumper over the past 30 years). Political agendas aplenty.

Gee, what could possibly go wrong?

I will await data that's been subject to peer review.
 
@win231 Here's a quote from Wiki about the Tuskegee study..."The Tuskegee Syphilis Study, also known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male, U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee, or Tuskeegee Experiment, was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service.[1][2] The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were only told they were receiving free health care from the Federal government of the United States.[3"
I bolded the last sentence. Ergo why a lot of Black people are not trying to get that vaccine. Of course, as evidenced here, Black folks are not the only ones who don't trust. A rushed vaccine to satisfy someone who doesn't have a medical degree and is not a scientist at all...no good. Shots in the dark about what can work and what won't....no good. Being a guinea pig....no good.
