it also is developed by Astra Zenica, one of the most trusted pharms. If you want to start discounting their products, you better stop taking any paracetamol or ibuprofen too

Also, to get to general supply, they have to go through an approval process and have all sorts of data to back it up.

No one is being forced to get the vaccine, it's your own choice. If you don't trust it, don't get the injection

it's being distributed to hospitals who do have the fridges, also health care workers are getting it first so it makes sense at this point. The first vaccinations will happen next week!

Honestly I could cry hearing this news.

It's not the long ago that the Press were reporting that Matty Hanny was the only one who thought a vaccine was possible

some of them should be prosecuted for their reportage of the pandemic

I believe they are sorting out testing for relatives as well so they can visit elderly relatives in the meantime, the fast lateral flow ones?

God I hope so. It’s been a long, long year and to be able to just visit some relatives before the year is out would mean the world.

yes although in better news it is then viable in a normal fridge for up to 5 days so this gives some leeway

A strapping 35 year old buck is going to be last on the list eh . Oh well. Maybe I'll get mine in time for the ML2022 win? It's going to be a total wash-out if I die of Covid before then.

Can I get it awarded posthumously if the worst happens?
