Coronavirus: 'Foolish' to assume COVID-19 vaccine will be here for winter - Whitty

Instead, he said there was a"reasonable chance" that a vaccine could be available for winter of 2021-22.Why the vaccine race could leave a lasting scientific legacy

Mr Whitty added:"I would obviously be delighted if it came earlier rather than later but I'd be quite surprised if we had a highly effective vaccine ready for mass use in a large percentage of the population before the end of winter, certainly before this side of Christmas. "Now that may be wrong - a lot of people are doing a huge amount scientifically, logistically to make sure that's a pessimistic statement, to try and see if we can get a vaccine at extraordinarily fast speed but we have to check it works and we have to make sure it's safe and these things do take time."So I think if we look forward a year I think the chances are much greater than if we look forward six months and we need to have that sort of timescale in mind.

Dr John Campbell on you tube says kids are super spreaders under 5's 100% more viral load. I know who I believe Dr John nor some Whitty chap.

Go away Sky.

More doom and gloom along with the usual scaremongering from this individual. He does not want this to end. He is doing the government no favours.

And what’s the daily death rate in the UK of those dying OF Covid and not WITH? No? It’s 2. 2 people. 2 TRILLION debt and 4 million unemployed. More of dying of the flu each day. Get a bloody grip and stop the scaremongering. Now

Foolish to put our lives on hold for something so unthreatening

Not ‘foolish’. Credible articles clearly hinted at it on numerous occasions.

Plzlisten to DrLimengYan's exposure on howCCP modified ZC45 and ZXC21 bat viruses owned by PLA lab, and published in 2017 and 18 genebank database from NIH,madeCCPVirus‼️Now if CCP don’t disclosed virus gene sequence ,no way to invent effective vaccine ‼️

Why would anybody want to take a untested Vaccine, for a Virus that now seems even weaker than the common cold. Time to open up the whole of society ASAP.

seems legislation already on the emergency Gov statuette book,may allow firms to sack workers if they don't take the Vaccine, Other disturbing News is that pharmacists are been told to stock up 6 months Medical supplies, for probable 2nd Lockdown between end of Sep to March

Can somebody due some actual journalism and find out what percentage of those that have died of covid19 in 2020 had the Flu Jab in winter 2019 ? I would think the answer is a very high number ?

And you can cut all this scaremongering too and let us get on with our lives . You won’t be getting away with anymore . You have scared the living daylights out of people . Enough

Good! We don't want it.

There wont be a Vaccine - not if SARS is anything to go by. - If there is, the Science & Media have damaged their reputation so badly, uptake will be a struggle. (I'm not an Anti-Vaxxer, i wont be taking a vaccine.) Get on with your lives! Stop the hysteria.

Do you honestly think we would be queuing up for one after a few months given a safe del of them takes years ...yes I know we haven’t got years , but I won’t be a test case either

It’s ok, figures show it’s over now anyway, we have herd immunity.

Believe me none of us are depending on a viable vaccine until this time next year, maybe. None of us want to be guinea pigs for a pharmaceutical company looking for a huge payday!

Duh

We do not want the COVID-19 vaccine. Let think of a cure.

understand coronavirus vaccine and the three vaccine candidates now. Coronavirus Vaccines Candidates works only under these conditions.

Before the end of 2021? 🥴
