The world needs a vaccine that covers all variants known and unknown and lasts longer to stop the cycle of continual vaccination and reinfection to break the cycle or the world can not return to as we know it . Masks in cinemas and theatres here, empty football stadiums in Europe, people working from home as good customer service disappears to name but a few small examples as governments around the world make various random short-term policy decision to put sticky plaster on the situation as they try to keep the economy going so people can eat whilst ensuring not too may people end up in hospital leading to an increase in deaths from other factors. My 90 year old dad for the first time in years did not go to his annual check up as he was stuck in Portugal for 9 months unable to get home after a planned 4 week visit and last week discovered he has cancer and hopefully we caught in time for one small example. Global travel demands a vaccine for all or this will never go away. If our trial delivers what we are promised and N protein is neutralised making mutating S protein not relevant and T cell memory allowing for longer immunity reducing the need for as many boosters has such large consequences it is mind boggling. Pfizer are over excited as to how many boosters will be continuously needed and Covidity, if does what it is meant to do will change all that. The stakes are massive as I impatiently await the first data on the effect on the N protein and T cell response.For those who say why you don't buy any more, i am happy with my 500,000 shares in my ISAs built up over many years which will obviously generate tax free returns at wherever we end up. If it comes off this will be in the £s SP wise. As I said impatient like everyone else but by mid year everything will be clear with earlier news giving strong indications as to where we are going with this.
