    hat is not to devalue the importance of Pfizer’s scientific advances. They found a way to fire up the immune system with ‘messenger RNA’, the virus’s own genetic material.

    Oxford AZ took a more traditional approach that produces antibodies with an injection of a harmless, weakened version of the virus itself. Both are brilliant, but as an oncologist who has been working on a cancer vaccine for the past 20 years, I am especially excited about the potential of the AZ jab.

    Early indications are that the AZ vaccine is effective in lower doses than originally intended. In fact, it’s possible that a priming dose of just 10 per cent of the proposed standard injection might even work better. The reasons for this are complex, but are possibly linked to the stimulation of T cells – the immune system’s front line defences.

    My colleagues and I have seen similar effects in a vaccine for melanomas and pancreatic cancers that we have been developing for the past two decades. I anticipate that the data from the nationwide rollout of the Oxford AZ treatment in 2021 will not only turn the tide on coronavirus, but will enable scientists to reap unexpected dividends from these findings for years to come.

    Another crucial factor with AZ is its effectiveness after a single application.

    Whoa, this jumped off the page as I was reading it. I had no idea cancer vaccines were a thing.

    Several things are really good about this one: one is it uses an attenuated [weakened] virus instead of the fancy mRNA vaccines. That’s the traditional approach to vaccines. In my mind, that eliminates a potential risk that comes with the ‘novel’ vaccines. Those are ‘probably’ free of deleterious down stream side effects but I don’t like the ‘probably’ word. I may actually wait for this vaccine to come out before I jump on board: Single dose, smaller doses are effective—there’s a lot to like about it.

    Secondly, weren’t we told it would ‘be a miracle’ for a vaccine to be out by the end of the year? The election is over, and now it seems to be raining vaccines. Did the media and their ‘experts‘ really know that or was it more of the Pavlovian TDS reflex?

    The article in the OP, citing Prof. Dalgleish, says nothing about 'Operation Warpspeed'.

    What does the Oxford Astrazenica vaccine have to do with that?

    "The United States has secured almost a third of the first 1 billion doses planned for AstraZeneca’s experimental COVID-19 vaccine by pledging up to $1.2 billion ..."

    That's why this was only made possible by Operation Warpspeed? Jesus wept!

    I see it all now! If the US hadn't secured "almost a third" of Astrazenica's output, the British govt. would have turned the taps off. "Sorry AZN, no more money. Try the EU, lol."

    That's why this was only made possible by Operation Warpspeed, right?
