true but pharmaceutical giants would rather never be liable for anything. if they think they can get indemnity they will, and this current situation is the perfect opportunity. they are bastards, mind.

good article here explaining why vaccines usually take years to be developed and why these ones only taking less than a year isn’t necessarily a cause for concern.

Covid in Scotland: Vaccine will reach care homes from 14 December
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55170413

Ms Freeman said this posed "particular logistical challenges" when vaccinating people at or close to their homes.

But she told MSPs it had now been confirmed the vaccine could be transported in an unfrozen state for up to 12 hours.

It can also be broken down into smaller pack sizes and stored undiluted for up to five days, she said.

"So in effect we can take the vaccine to them [care homes] or close to them, and we will begin that exercise from 14 December," the health secretary said.

This could be complete bollox of course:

The global pandemic COVID-19 effects might hamper the sexual capabilities in men by causing erectile dysfunction, hints medical expert. Erectile dysfunction is being included as one of the long-term side effects as the virus causes issues in the vasculature.

The startling revelation was made by Dr Dena Grayson, an infectious disease expert, while speaking with LX News. Stating that even for a mild case, people could suffer long-term issues with erectile dysfunction, Dr Grayson said, "We now know that people can have long term health effects from this virus, neurologic complications, and now, for men who are watching this — there is some real concern here that men could have long term issues of erectile dysfunction from this virus, because we know that it causes issues in the vasculature."

"This is something that is of real concern," Grayson added, noting the illness can have "long term, life long, potentially, complications." Speaking about the long-term negative consequences of infection, the medical expert said that the vast majority of people do seem to recover from this virus, but as time goes on, and more and more people are infected, 'we're going to unfortunately see more and more of these long-term negative consequences of infection.'

You are clinging to false hopes, it hasn't been tested properly and you know it.
You are placing a lot of faith in Pharma and the Government
surely they would never lie to us
Would they?

i’m not clinging to any hopes.

but since you seem to know a lot about it, can you explain what it is you know about how it hasn’t been tested properly?

Did you feel that vaping had been tested properly when you decided to do that?

And also, what would you have as the alternative to not having a vaccine? Wait some more, continue with lockdowns? For how long?
