Could “challenge trials” speed coronavirus vaccine development? - BBC News

Scientists have warned it could be many months, before we know if any of the coronavirus vaccines currently undergoing trials are effective. One way to speed up the process, would be if so-called 'challenge trials' are allowed, where volunteers are given the vaccine and then deliberately infected with coronavirus, to see if they're protected. But some experts aren’t convinced such trials are safe or necessary. Our Medical Editor Fergus Walsh reports.

Not one person died in England yesterday, .. In what world did a 'pandemic' become something we measure via infections, in that sense the common cold is a pandemic also.

As if people are still falling for this bollocks!

Remember when the Government wanted to protect ordinary Iraqis and ordinary Libyans? Now we are told it is the turn of ordinary British people to be protected, does that not make you feel a little uneasy?

I can only assume this presenters and his co-workers have been brainwashed and have complete tunnel-vision as a result of their massive salary, otherwise I don’t know how they sleep at night

Are there really "plenty like Sean willing to sign up or are you lying again?

I hope the vaccines will truly help stop the viruses from harming the world. God bless the scientist

If people volunteer, understanding the risks, and remain in quarantine, I'd say let them try it. We send people into space knowing full well that a small mishap could end their lives, but they take the risk knowing what they'd be doing for human progress.

Then again, I'm no medical expert, so I am ignorant of the many many things that could go wrong.

Bubonic Plauge still takes (not many but a few) several hundred years after the event or so we are told, we could be told anything and have to accept -
