Speaking to 2 friends earlier who were GP’s in London but do work worldwide and have been on immunisation programs in third world countries, I showed them the sterimatic system and they loved it, they said quite often they’d be doing several thousand people with the same needle in Africa but it was dipped in alcohol solution between jabs. They agreed with the sterimatic system it would be possible to vaccinate the whole country in weeks as opposed to months/years.

So the rapidly produced vaccine is approved as safe. Conventionally it takes around 8 years to produce such a preparation to be safe. Does this indicate that the project was started in 2012 ?........
Maybe due to common cold experiments, some of which are caused by corona type viruses?

It's often said that the perfect government is a benevolent dictator. I'm not sure I agree entirely, but the idea does have merits - provided they're geuinely benevolent.
There has to be a best person for the job but they probably wouldn't get elected and/or wouldn't want to be

This morning on BBC news ,headlines ,and Vaccine arrives in UK.
Shows Insulated Van pulls up 4 boxes thrown in back ,"Mr Bungle" comes out unpacks and put temp probe on it ,states -68oC ???
Thought -70 oC min?
Shoves into special type freezer on the floor ,narrator then explains , handled with care and secured locked, "Mr Bungle" tries 3 times to close then closes correctly?
You couldn't dream up what looked total opposite to the reporters precise description how the vaccine was to be treated?
 
Also worth noting that a typical vaccine development of eight years will include about seven years of funding applications, waiting for administrative approvals to do things, procurement delays etc. The fast tracking of this one involved removal of a huge chunk of non-clinical activities.

This is true.

Your vet will tell you that getting lab tests done this year or obtaining vaccine supplies was an absolute PITA because the entire pharma world went into overdrive chasing covid and trying to help.
