    No surprise that some people think they can somehow choose a brand of vaccine, or comment on what they thinks works ‘best’. In a Venn diagram, they would be a large section of these people overlapping with people who only buy branded analgesia and those who read Daily Mail.

    I'm not an expert in vaccines either, but I don't think that's right. Both vaccines use different methods to get cells in your body to generate a Covid spike protein, which the immune system then responds to.

    Sorry, but someone is reading and more worryingly believing pseudo science.
    This is the sort of stuff that is so dangerous, leading people to turn down a perfectly good vaccine, already given to millions of people and having saved well over 100,000 lives.

    Do you ask/worry how the smallpox/polio/diptheria/rubella/all the rest vaccines work when you have your children vaccinated or go for boosters yourselves?

    I think not.

    Just get the vaccine offered and keep yourselves, but more importantly, others safe.

    Unfortunately I know people who do this and think they know more about immunology that they do, because they read some headlines. They refused to have their kids vaccinated for the above because they believed they new the 'real truth'.  A drop of learning is a lethal thing and makes for myths.

    I know there are stupid people who don't get those vaccines @Fire

    I was addressing those who have, hitherto, accepted all the usual vaccines but have decided to question the Covid vaccines despite all the evidence that they work and the likely dire results of catching Covid if unvaccinated.
