How vaccine safety and side effects are monitored | COVID-19 Special

Some people are concerned that the development of a vaccine against COVID-19 has been so incredibly fast. And in fact, there are still some things we don't know. For example, how long immunity lasts after vaccinatio. Another question, is safety: what side effects can the vaccines have?

In Norway, 33 seniors died, after being inoculated against COVID-19. Authorities are investigating whether there was a link. That's why the world's setting up monitoring systems watching out for side effects, that may not have been seen in big clinical trials. Still hopes are high that this is the best vaccine in history.

People are getting bells palsy, and need 3 epipens, death, jerking so bad they can hardly walk .. lots of heathcare workers refusing it also ... which sets off little bells in my head

Side effects not seen in big clinical trials?

All those big clinical trials that were so intensely scrutinised in 7 months... yea think I'll pass on your experimental 'jab'

11:56 DW please revise your animation, mRNA is a single stranded RNA molecule, but in animation, you showed double stranded. It is misleading.

And for the covid-19 patients who married in the isolation ward, congratulations! May you live happily ever after.

This makes me want to vommit, they bought their lies their whole life and this is how they repay them. Well done Pagans.

11:55 okay, but you need to explain in detail how the our body is producing viral (spike) protein in the body. The mRNA need to merge (integrated) with our cell genome (which wasn't clear either in Nucleus or mitochondria), to be translated as a protein via ribosomes.

09:16 - just listen to his voice and look at his face, does it correlate with the words he's saying, does he really mean it? Is it a hostage video? Is Derrick trying to send a signal to the viewers?

#askDerrick dear sir, is the British strain of Covid19 really more deadly?
