Steve in the race to find a
vaccine against the pandemic,
Moderna is celebrating a break
through, as they reveal that
their vaccine is nearly ninety five percent
effective. In the preliminary
trials,
thirty thousand volunteers participated
in the trials, including our
next guest and Jack Morning, star
joining us right now from Chapel
Hill in North Carolina
Jack Good Morning to you
good Morning,
Steve. I know the way the trials
work they get all these people
and dontthey tell them. We are e
going to give you the vaccine or
the placebo of something else,
thats correct,
Steve. You think you got the
actual shot why,
after the first vaccine, I had
a little bit of fatigue and arm
pain that lingered a couple of
days,
not tiny tense, but like a
tetanus shot where you feel like
you got punched in the arm when
you wake up and about the same
for the booster, with a little
bit of a fever. The next day,
which made me think you know
giving Thegiven the fact that TH
is a solution in the majority of
people who have gotten it. Didnt
really have any symptoms at all.
That was telling to me. That was
the real deal
Steve sure. After the trials or
approval, they will tell you
either got the shot or the
placebo, so you can get a vaccine
going forward to protect
yourself
for the people. Looking in Jack
thinking, I dont know if I trust
this vaccine, you are in a unique
situation. Where have you
actually had it?
What do you tell those people
thinking? I dont know if im
going to get it,
I think the important thing
to recognize
I mean like we have had an
unprecedented amount of
resources that have been pumped
into this entire process.
I think some people might be
nervous that, at the end of the
day like they have been cutting
corners in terms of safety
protocols, which is not at all
the case,
normally these clinical trials
take so much money and resources
to just get off their feet
since the whole world and all of
its operations have basically a
screeching halt. With this
pandemic,
I mean this has been the number
one priority for health
institutions worldwide,
so I would concerned for your
viewers and the date that just
came out saying its ninety five percent,
effective, roughly, which is up
there with some of the vaccines
that were all accustomed to
make like mumps, measles and the
vaccines that helper
radiculopathy indicate serious
diseases that are no longer
commonplace,
Steve sure
Jack. Given your unique
situation where you were part of
this trial,
and you believe you got the
actual vaccine, do you feel more
protected? You nope? The whole world is walking
nope, the whole world is walking
around. Without what have you got
got?
I agree. I have been super
careful.
I dont want to scare people
walking around without a mask
and that sort of thing it
does come as some comfort
knowing the vaccine is effective
and I likely do have antibodies
im, not going to be one hundred percent
comfortable, incomfortable Majori
vaccinated and develop some sort
of herd immunity.
Steve. Thank you for telling
your story.
Some people are interested in.
It
sounds like you actually got it
good luck to you,
Jack Morningstar, studying a
junior at the university of.
