‘Re: Will covid-19 vaccines save lives? Current trials aren’t designed to tell us

Dear Editor,

I am disturbed by Peter Doshi’s article, and I write this response as a concerned member of the public. As someone who worked in industrial physics & chemistry for twenty years, before moving into technological spheres, I am well aware of the scientific strictures that we must work to, but having also been in other roles over the past ten years, I appreciate science from the public viewpoint too.

Britannica defines a vaccine as “a suspension of weakened, killed, or fragmented microorganisms or toxins or of antibodies or lymphocytes that is administered primarily to prevent disease.”

Dictionary.com defines a vaccine as “any preparation used as a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease, usually employing an innocuous form of the disease agent, as killed or weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production.”

I quote the two definitions above because, between them, they convey what the public believes a vaccine to be and what it is intended to do. Let me be clear what the public want and expect. A vaccine should prevent people becoming infected, by conferring immunity, without causing harmful side-effects.

Hence, surely there are only two questions that need to be answered by any trials? Namely, does the vaccine prevent infection in the individuals who have taken it, and did the vaccine harm them in the process of achieving immunity? Clearly, we are then into the world of statistics and acceptable rates, and also population demographics, but the fundamental questions are straightforward.

Is medical science really in such a parlous state as this article suggests? If so, then we must do something about it.

Yours sincerely,

Marcus J. Swift.
