Britain’s medicine regulator has advised that people with a history of allergies do not get Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine after people reported adverse reactions on the first day of rollout.

The new MHRA guidance, sent out to health professionals, said a much broader segment should not take the vaccine.

“Any person with a history of a significant allergic reaction to a vaccine, medicine or food (such as previous history of anaphylactoid reaction or those who have been advised to carry an adrenaline autoinjector) should not receive the Pfizer BioNtech vaccine,” it said.

It also said resuscitation facilities should be available for all vaccinations.

Biden has pledged to be vaccinated on live TV. He's also a frail 82 year old man with a history of asthma that's so severe he was excused from the draft. So this all sounds fine to me.

He can get in the “Liar Line” right behind Trump.

Jim - you don't believe Biden is asthmatic? So you're saying he lied to get out of the draft? He's a draft dodger?

Sure there is a risk, but in my universe science and medicine actually work for the improvement of lives, and will do their best to "do no harm." I see no proof of nor motive for a conspiracy of some elite to use vaccines to somehow gain control ( or whatever it is they are conspiring to do) of the masses.

No matter how many patients are studied pre-marketing in a controlled environment, the true safety profile of a drug is characterized only by continuing safety surveillance through a spontaneous adverse event monitoring system and a post-marketing surveillance/non-interventional study. The popular notion is that drugs are thoroughly studied before they are marketed, so that everything about the drug is known the time of launch. Few realize that while enough is known the time of launch to avoid calamities, catastrophes and disasters, a lot of the thorough knowledge that we have about well-established products is obtained after the drug has been marketed and hundreds of thousands of patients have been exposed to the product through commercial sales.

I 100% support you getting the vaccine as soon as it is available. In fact, I support as many people as possible - other than myself - getting the vaccine ASAP.

In a year or so, I'll drop a message on your wall and - assuming you're not blind or your wife hasn't given birth to a baby with three arms - I'll absolutely make an appointment myself.

Now, if Covid had a higher mortality rate I'd hit you over the head and climb over your unconscious body to be first, however, with a >0.5% mortality rate, I'm totally content to let you and Sleepy Joe be at the head of the queue.

While there was a small imbalance of cases in the vaccine group compared with the placebo, the FDA said it’s not certain whether the drug contributed to the paralysis “because the number of cases was small and not more frequent than expected in the general population.”

While developing a temporary neuromuscular condition during a vaccine trial may sound concerning, it is best to put this finding into perspective. The annual incidence rate for Bell's palsy within the general population is around 23 cases per 100,000 people or 15-30 per 100,000 people, according to some population studies. Translating that to the trial's four cases out of 38,000 trial participants, it computes to only 11 cases per 100,000 people.
