    You won't know when or which vaccine you will receive. It will be an absolute shambles. They will probably drop another £10bn to a friend to organise, who will be working full time managing a brewery.

    Hey if they can manage a social occasion in a brewery they will be better than a lot of government suppliers.

    I wonder which Kremlin troll paid the BBC to say that Sputnik is reliable
    Russia’s claim of a successful COVID-19 vaccine doesn’t pass the ‘smell test,’ critics say | Science | AAAS

    Presumably then, when you go to get your vaccine you get to go through the Monty Hall problem

    BOOM : Vaccine No 3

    http://BBC News - Covid: Oxford vacc...ealth-54993652

    The Oxford coronavirus vaccine shows a strong immune response in adults in their 60s and 70s, raising hopes that it can protect age groups most at risk of illness from the virus.

    Researchers say the Lancet phase two findings , based on 560 healthy adult volunteers, are "encouraging".

    They are also testing whether the vaccine stops people developing Covid-19 in larger, phase three trials.

    Early results from this crucial stage are expected in the coming weeks.

    Three vaccines - Pfizer-BioNTech, Sputnik and Moderna - have already reported good preliminary data from phase three trials, with one suggesting 94% of over-65s could be protected from Covid-19.

    The UK has already ordered 100 million doses of the Oxford vaccine, manufactured by AstraZeneca, 40 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and five million of the Moderna vaccine.

    The challenge with developing a Covid vaccine is to trigger the body to fight back against the virus no matter how old someone is.
