      Which risk is worse? Vaccines shown to have a death rate of <0.001% and no serious side-effects Or Getting COVID-19 with a ~0.5-1% risk of death and a high risk of going to ICU and/or long-term health problems based on millions of cases 🤔pic.twitter.com/UV4Iv3HDy4

      What about surviving a mild dose of undiagnosed #COVID19 and having antibodies and then getting a COVID19 #vaccine? Any thoughts? #Dengvaxia was a disaster in the #Philippines because they didn’t screen before vaccinating. Thank you

      Part of the vaccine protocols is ensuring that they are safe for people who've already had COVID-19

          During the Phase 3 trials? Is there sufficient data on that yet?

          Yes and no. This is one of the secondary endpoints that we need to know

          I haven’t seen anywhere in any of the reports of there being a control group of antibody positive subjects.

          It's not a control group, you need people who have had the disease to be randomised as normal into both arms to assess this

          Your lack of an answer to the all important follow up question tends to indicate that there is no data and you’re just pumping out #COVID19 #vaccine #propoganda. #Fail. Show me the control group data for antibody positive recipients

          Sorry what? Not all of the data is published as yet, which is exactly what I'm saying and how I caveated the information

          Now if you don’t want to answer the question it’s up to you. But by not answering it is #scientists who are undermining public confidence in the #COVID19 #vaccine by not being #transparent.
