Ha'way Oxford, I've fifty quid riding on our "failed state" being first in this race.

I have faith in Oxford doing their best but will only believe it when I see it especially after Sharma said
‘We may never find a successful coronavirus vaccine,’
30 million doses in September or none, this Government talks shite.

That’s literally how medical trials have worked since the beginning of time.

They already have it.. a vaccine is to stop you getting it..

There isn’t a specific test?

Could they not test it on a large number frontline worker volunteers, and monitor them to see who gets it, as assumedly they're the most at risk group of people?

What are your qualifications that suggest this is somehow not achievable? Specific qualifications, including which universities you attended, which years etc.

Most of the waiting time for vaccines is waiting for funding. That is not a problem this time around. This has been fully explained by the doctors at Oxford.

Also a lot of the red tape that normally have to go through has been cut because of the urgency

That’s exactly what they are doing. I work for a local Trust and they have been asking for volunteers this week.

Now we see the governments plan after all.

The whole country is test bed for the vaccine.

They should open Corona pubs and they will get plenty of volunteers.

There’s nothing dangerous about it at all. It’s the same way they make other vaccines with a couple of different proteins.

The vaccine is a modified version of a vaccine for something similar. They haven't just started from scratch
