I don't see how it is going to help society return to normal because the vulnerable people and the scared but not vulnerable will not trust still having a 66% chance of catching it.
Also, having worked in the pharma industry, I know how long it takes to go through the process of registering new drugs, or even to modify an existing one. Its the relatively short development time that causes me concern
Was in my local supermarket this morning and I was totally dismayed by the amount of people mainly women who were lifting items from the shelves , looking at them and replacing them, do they know that there's a friggin epidemic at the moment--stop doing this you friggin eejits, just stop it.

What gets me is that there are sanitizing stations on the way in to supermarkets but nothing on the way out.
Yes I think that is going to be one of the biggest hurdles to a mass take up of any vaccination, people just do not trust this Government. I think we will see a mass advertising campaign using well known and loved celebrities.
Looking at the poll its running 9 yes and 9 no or don't know
Quote Looking at the poll its running 9 yes and 9 no or don't knowLooks like a clear majority for 'yes' to me If you could go around co-opting the 'don't knows', who knows what might have happened. We might still be in the EU
More people spent more money on research for a Covid19 vaccine as it is more prevalent and deadly than Ebola and has the ability to stop thw world economy. If Ebola was as bad as Covid19, it would have been done within a year too.
As far as I can tell it has only been tested on 20 thousand people for a few months.
Perhaps this will be the way for all new vaccines instead of 10-20 year development.
