@heatherpaterson @Felix_F_Fern @transchronic @crazycatgay02 @TEEZBabyCakes Not now! Thanks for showing me this

@AzentaSciences Hi - I’m trying to purchase a subscription to FreezerPro for my lab - seems really difficult to get through to anyone to start the subscription - can you respond asap please.

Our pre-print is out about self-amplifying RNA vaccines in transmission challenge model
Proud joint first authors of myself and Laury and great work with @jacky_paburaw @joncbrown90 @PeacockFlu @PaulFMcKay @wendybarclay11 @robin_shattock et al.

VaxEquity co-founder discussing the complicated issues of vaccine hesitancy and mandates on the premier U.K. current affairs broadcast - BBC Question Time #bbcqt #VaccinesWork

[VaxEquity @VaxEquity]

Our Co-Founder, Director & CSO Prof @robin_shattock was invited to discuss vaccine hesitancy on @BBC question time! We are using modified #saRNA that enables lower doses and more combinations, so fewer visits and jabs.

Watch the discussion here: https://t.co/bHMnuaQjxM

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@robin_shattock This resulted from our work on the COVID-19 vaccine - showing the huge potential of RNA to bring safe and effective vaccines to all - particularly low and middle income countries!

@nathaliejacoby1 I would love a follow too! I’m sure you get inundated!

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@RealJamieKay A lot of people don’t have the experience to determine high quality sources from low quality or deliberately false and misleading - there are people out their producing the misinformation on an industrial scale

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@RealJamieKay All of us have been fed lie after lie and so now many have no pointer of what sources to trust. So when people say they have ‘done their own research’ it means that they have listened to their echo chamber (as we all do) and that’s the decision they’ve made….

@PFleeceman @NICKIMINAJ @CMO_England @projecthalo @ImperialInfect Cousin Geech sounds very talented indeed! 🤣

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

Was on BBC Radio 5 Live this evening talking about Nicki Minaj, her tweet, how cool Professor Whitty is, and Team Halo - the UN backed organisation I'm a part of which tries to counter Vaccine Hesitancy online. @NICKIMINAJ @CMO_England @projecthalo @ImperialInfect

@nathaliejacoby1 Sorry! Nathalie! 🤗🤗

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@nathaliejacoby1 Hi Natalie! I am almost at 5000! Thank you!

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@nathaliejacoby1 Very glad your husband did not catch it from the Anti-Vaxxer! I wonder how they would feel if he had? Would they feel responsible? In any case let’s hope your husband’s friend recovers and perhaps thinks again about their position….🤞

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@nathaliejacoby1 @FashFeature Me too please! Thank you.

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@AnitaSummers57 That’s an easy one - it’s just not biologically possible. Humans - and I assume your friend is one - can’t convert RNA into DNA. So the RNA vaccines can never become DNA. It can only go from DNA-RNA-Protein in people.

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@AnitaSummers57 quite high in virtually all of the participants - and the other question is how much antibody is needed to protect against illness - and from several studies that looks to be quite a low level is required. If you’re worried there are places that will test your levels (for a fee)

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@AnitaSummers57 It could be. And yes - if you experience a sore arm and fever you are likely to be responding. The response level is variable too - so the only at your know for sure is to have an antibody test which is done on people in the clinical trials and in those the antibody levels were

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

@nathaliejacoby1 @OshetJimmy Nudge and thank you🤗

[Paul McKay @PaulFMcKay]

Am on BBC Radio 5 live later, talking with Stephen Nolan about COVID Vaccine boosters! Who should get a booster and when? @StephenNolan @projecthalo
