Along comes COVID19 and there is a 90% effective vaccine within 12 months. COVID19 is in the same virus catagory as the common cold. Theres a Vaccine for flu and theres always been a Beachum powder and a good hanky for common cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro Van Tam has just stated who is top of the list. The Government pre ordered millions of the vaccine from the company. Though Johnson noticeably didn't answer Victoria McDonald's question if members of the cabinet will be amongst the first to receive the vaccine.

Anna B Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) The whole world will be wanting this vaccine (assuming it works.) Private company Pfizer got there first. I wonder what they are going to charge for it? I think we are about to see the real power of private pharmaceutical companies. My guess is there will be waiting lists a mile long, unless you're prepared to pay for it yourself. Edited November 9, 2020 by Anna B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Relic Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So, the Government pre-ordered millions of doses of this before it was tested, then got it tested and "hey preso!" it passed the government's tests. What a surprise, and what great foresight by HMG. PR success before its even gone live! Let's hope it does work - and that those in greatest need got it first - those NHS workers working closely with Covid, then Covid patients and the elderly who want it. It sounds as if we're facing a bigger problem with this Mink variation - close the borders immediately and ban travel to and from Denmark as a matter of urgency.

There was numerous sensible questions asked by other members of the media to Pro Van Tam which were excellently answered. The Government have pre ordered 40 million doses before today's news. From my understanding 2 doses will be needed for every person. 2 doses per person = 20 million people covered. We have a population of 60 million. You do the maths.

Just said on the News, NHS are first in line for the Vaccine, then over 80's and so on, actually either way will do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
