There is only a 50% chance of the Oxford coronavirus vaccine working because cases in the UK are declining so fast, one of the scientists behind it has warned.
The University of Oxford’s Jenner Institute and the Oxford Vaccine Group began developing a COVID-19 vaccine in January using a virus taken from chimpanzees.
But with the number of UK coronavirus cases dropping every day, there may not be enough people to test it on, according to the institute’s director Professor Adrian Hill.
He told The Sunday Telegraph: “It’s a race against the virus disappearing, and against time. We said earlier in the year that there was an 80% chance of developing an effective vaccine by September.
“But at the moment, there’s a 50% chance that we get no result at all. We’re in the bizarre position of wanting COVID to stay, at least for a little while” […]
Their goes your second wave, damn!

From what I read via Chinese media, Administrator, their scientists believe the virus has mutated and causes much milder, if any, disease now. They are getting new cases from foreign visitors that are much milder than the illnesses that first appeared in Wuhan in Dec and Jan.

These lockdowns (prison protocol) are the real killers, the longer they are kept in place.

I agree totally, Administrator. Lockdowns of this nature are totally unprecedented. Historically public health authorities have always quarantined the sick and vulnerable – not healthy people.

Did the idiot actually said that? That’s admitting to those with half a functioning brain that it’s all about profits.🤑 What they don’t seem to realize is that the vaccine already works: it’s scaring the virus away… La,la-la, la-la!!! 👻

In my view, Sha’Tara, this whole saga would make a great soap opera plot, though I’m pretty sure any producer worth his salt would demand a rewrite (to make it more credible).

Yes, even Porky Pig would demand a re-write. It would have made a great parody of the end of civilization if the sheeple hadn’t jumped so eagerly on the sacrificial altar to COVID-19 and by their ignorant fear and stupidity, legitimized the farce. Of course that is what the planners had hoped for.

I pretty sure Gates has high functioning autism, Deb, which possibly explains how he gets carried away with such hare-brained schemes. In my mind, the slimy sycophants who cater to him are garden variety sociopaths.

It occurs to me, Tube, that you could possibly relabel it as snake oil? Or possibly cat food? You would have to create your own market of course.

I believe they just started trials in Brazil where the virus is very prevalent. Also, cases in the US are rising, and just yesterday I believe various US states started recruiting for vaccine trials.
