Covid RNA vaccine facts.

- RNA is just a temporary message, (like Snapchat, not like Whatsapp)

- RNA vaccines cannot become a permanent part of our genes or 'get into our DNA', RNA has a very short half-life
- Coronavirus can't be made in our body as it has 25 proteins and the RNA for only 1 is in the vaccine

- The safety profile is similar to any other vaccine, there are no concerns in the data available to date
- The MHRA look at all the data available before deciding that a vaccine is safe. This is a stringent process. Their interest is primarily public safety
- Professor Saul Faust, Professor of Paediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Director of the Southampton NIHR Wellcome Trust Clinical Research Facility fact checked this for me.

He is looking forward to getting the vaccine.
Thanks for continued input. Yes there are many things not included here (eg. We dont have reverse transcriptase in our bodies, importance of the cold chain). The aim was just to l state a few clear, simple facts 👍

Karol Sikora's Rutherford Health Plc has today done a £55m deal with Equitix, an asset fund, to develop private diagnostic services to sell to the NHS.
It is stated that there is an agreement in place with an unnamed NHS Trust which will be revealed once a special purpose vehicle (SPV) has been set up.
(A SPV is essentially a shell which can be used to isolate a company or organisation from financial risk or for the disposing of assets. They have been used previously in Private Finance Initiative deals.)

People should know about Professor Karol Sikora. He has transformed into something of an NHS advocate of late. He has supported free marketeers and is a vocal advocate for private healthcare. He has a long track record as an anti-NHS activist.
In 2004, he argued the NHS "has produced a deeply unequal system where the most affluent in society can opt out while the poorest often receive some of the worst healthcare in Europe", advocating a "consumer-led service"

In the same year, in The Times, he stated 'The NHS as we know it has had its day.'
