Mixing Covid Vaccines

 Researchers over in the UK are doing studies to mix COVID vaccines to see if any could boost the immune responses. The current vaccines for COVID take two shots to fully work so they are hoping that finding the right combination will only take one shot instead of two. This test will be through The University of Oxford. 

I think that if we do find a way to combine these vaccines into one, it will speed up the process by week, potentially saving a bunch of lives and will take less stress off health care workers.

    I think that mixing the too vaccines is a great thing if it will speed up the process. I just worry about the side effects if something doesn't work with another component in the vaccine. Do you think it will work, or create more problems?

    I also agree with you that combining these vaccines into one will speed up the process and save a bunch of lives. I also think that they should do some testing with it to fully understand what positive effects it can have on people.

    I think that if there is a chance this could speed up the process, then we should take that chance. Like Avery, I agree in the fact that we need to think about the side affects, because if we mix something without knowing what the side affects could be, more people could die.

    I agree that combining vaccines can help speed up time, but the side effects will be a big problem especially if it goes wrong. On the other hand, could the scientists try to figure out how to minimalize side effects while working at combining or making a new one?

    I agree with Elyse that yes we do need to consider the side affects that could happen, but I say we take the chance. If we think that mixing/combining the vaccines will help speed up the time of immune responses, then let's try it! Covid-19 has taken so many lives, and if we think this could help people then we should try it!!

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Over 87,000 papers published on coronavirus since start of pandemic

 Over 87,000 papers have been published about this global pandemic. When most people think of the pandemic going around right now, they think about how awful it all is. How many people have died, how many people have lost a family member, or how many people they have lost relationships with friends or family. But, do people ever think about how this event will go down in history, and how it will affect science studies in the future? We never know what type of science we will come across in the future, but we can say that science evolves every day, and things are constantly changing. This is why so many people are interested in this pandemic. The more we know about this pandemic, the more we can do to try and change is. So, what will science bring in the future? And how will it impact future in sciences? We won't know the answer to either of those questions for a long time, but we can certainly say that it will evolve so much, and make things a lot more interesting.    htt...
