And as an aside, 64% would still be considered a highly effective vaccine, whch you'd be an idiot not to roll your sleeve up for.

I think that's unfair. I didn't, and still don't, have any problem with the route taken by Sweden. Although I am glad we didn't follow the same path. In retrospect it may turn out to have been very wrong (we still aren't at the end of this - so still too early for final judgement) They messed...

Doesn't surprise me for multiple reasons.

As I said above - I will take the well documented views (backed by peer reviewed data) of serious scientists involved in medical research and vaccine development over 'someone on the internet telling us what their mate said'. What is the alternative to using a vaccine? 1. Lot's more people...

Obviously Yes. And I think we need to be careful with the framing of the process as 'rushed' More accurate to say these vaccines have been extraordinarily well funded. Which simply means ithey have gone through all the same processes and checks as any other vaccince, just quicker, because they...
