Hollybean " not forgot the thalidomide drug and the damage that did to people faith in drugs more nightmares we don't need."

yes of course the world certainly doe not need that, created in West Germany.., the USA showed good judgement and blocked it...
DYOR...

livestock, it will be if the EU don't imposed state aid restrictions... think we, the UK, should take our chances.
investing @ any level is good if the investment is good; therefore missing the first 10% >20% is not a massive issue at these levels.
Good Luck..DT

Hi Hollybean,
it's not about putting a downer on this, great news if this vaccine works; however not so long ago a poll suggested that an "Operation Warp Speed” drug would not be welcomed by two thirds of Americans therefore i dont see what had changed. Also i noted that the PM and the president elect Biden had played this down..
i hope it is not a false dawn...

Onlyif ""That isn't what I asked Darth"

this was my answer.
"but i would probably just stay as i am and adhere to the social distance rules, good hygiene practice as it will be with us for sometime yet.

so i would have thought one could surmise that i would NOT be taking the drug..

Onlyif, the logistics will take some time even then it will be front line workers etc, etc...but i would probably just stay as i am and adhere to the social distance rules, good hygiene practice as it will be with us for sometime yet.

individuals can and often do get very ill during any vaccine trials, DYOR, the individual could be fine , some do not show any side effects at all other get ill for 48hrs...that's what trails are all about i suppose.
I for one would not be taking a "Warp Speed" drug...
i wonder how many lightbulbs Edison broke before he got one to work....

These are Pfizer's "self-reported" results, Pfizer has a horrible safety track record. The head of the FDA's CDER is former Pfizer VP for Product Safety that covered up dangerous side effects of Pfizer's Zoloft and Pfizer tried to block her from testifying under oath about it.

Boris Johnson says UK 'well prepared' for no-deal Brexit...
he prime minister said today he hoped a post-Brexit trade deal with the European Union could be agreed, but the country was well prepared if final-stage talks with the bloc did not succeed.

“I very much hope that we will [get a deal], and obviously that depends on our friends and partners across the Channel,” Boris Johnson told broadcasters this evening.
“I think there is a deal to be done if they want to do. If not, the country is of course very, very well prepared and as I have said before, we can do very, very well on Australian terms.”

Johnson has scheduled a call with Ursula von der Leyden this weekend, which will allow the leaders to “take stock” of the Brexit trade negotiations, the Independent reported.

Meetings between Lord Frost, the UK’s chief negotiator, and his EU counterpart Michel Barnier are due to continue next week.

Barnier yesterday reportedly told the bloc’s diplomats that the UK has “blocked” progress in key areas of trade deal talks.

At a confidential meeting yesterday afternoon, Barnier briefed representatives from the EU’s 27 member states, saying that “fundamental differences” remain between the two sides, Sky News reported.
