    Covid vaccine: First '''milestone''' vaccine offers 90% protection - BBC News


    It uses a completely experimental approach - that involves injecting part of the virus's genetic code - in order to train the immune system.

    However there are logistical challenges, as the vaccine has to be kept in ultra-cold storage at below minus 80C.

    There are also questions about how long immunity lasts, and about vaccine's effectiveness for different age groups.

    Not quite offers 90% protection they won't know how long it lasts for.

      Experimental .... must be kept under -80C ... part of the virus genetic code ...

      ... 28 days later after storing at only -79C it turns people into fast zombies.

      Ironically those people never moved so fast pre-zombification.
      Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

Instead, Pfizer plowed $2 billion of its own money into the project.

                Mental capacity test.

                It is a requirement to the vaccination.

                  Do you mean capacity to consent in the normal medico-legal sense, or something else?

                    It seems to be a requirement, if you have failed one. So people are asking why.

                      They want the GPs to go around and redo the mental capacity act form. For like every dementia patent. But they are saying "we are kind of busy" and the obvious question they ask is "so you dont think it is safe"
