Vaccine

It's annoying to hear people saying they don't believe in the Covid vaccine because they're not sure whats in it. I have complete trust in it because it's made by Pfizer - the same company who makes Viagra. If they can raise the dead, I'm quite sure they can save the living.

Not a Trotter original, wish it was. No it came from today's Metro newspaper. A freebie on the bus. Bus pass used, so it was nicked and at no cost to me. Cheapskate ?
Id rather risk some tiny side effects than long covid!
 
I wonder when we will see the money making side of a vaccine. You’ll probably be able to go along to boots or a local chemist and pay for it shortly. It’s inevitable this will happen in the world of £$¥€. I was reading somewhere that the Chinese one has been heavily mass produced for months and will be the one that finds its way to more poorer parts of the world like Africa so more chance of that one ending up on black market or eBay. No matter what someone is going to get very rich.

Astra Zenica have said it will not sell their vaccine for profit to make it available to all countries.
Moderna - a commercial company - has an interest in making profits, while the researchers for Pfizer made sure it will be made not-for-profit as long as the pandemic continues.
Or so they say.
 
I thought it was Oxford university who at least developed it, isn't it?
As with most of these things, they have been developed by multinational efforts and companies, Pfizer and Astra Zeneca both have facilities in the UK, Astra Zeneca say they will eventually make the vaccine in UK but first batches are coming from EU. The team at Oxford are from various countries.
But whatever, leaving the EU has been touted as opening up our trade to the world, not putting up the drawbridge
