Very True, Vlad!
Some Jeremiahs don't understand that, in a situation where there seems to be no escape from sickness & despair, the mere scent of a fix can be a massive tonic.
It works for me.

“I’m probably the first guy to say that but I will say that with some confidence,” said professor Sir John Bell, a member of the government’s Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies.
Prof Bell, who is regius professor of medicine at Oxford University, said the results of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine suggested it was likely other candidates would also be effective.
Bell serves on the Genentech Board in San Francisco, and formerly served on the scientific advisory board of AstraZeneca (1997–2000). He was the founding director of three biotechnology companies, including Oxagen, Avidex, and Powderject and is also on the Board of Atopix.
He has dozens of other governmental and charitable interests around the world, which if he only claimed expenses, would make him a millionaire many times over .....
Bell was selected to the Vaccine Taskforce sometime before 1 July 2020.
Coincidentally, his boss has just been "sacked":

According to documents, £500,000 on has already been spent on the team, which is contracted until the end of the year, equating, eventually, to £167,000 a year for each consultant.

Re: Wonderful News! (Vaccination trials successful)
You lot try the vaccine, and if in a years time you haven't grown two heads or a third eye, I might give it a go....
It was in a BBC news item a few weeks ago that suggested that people who had contracted the disease and recovered, only remained resistant for a few months......Due to the fact that a vaccine works in the same way as catching covid to provide antibodies to repel the disease the next time, you will need to administer the vaccine every few months to avoid catching it again.....
A bit like your annual flu jab, as the virus mutates, and requires a modification of the vaccine, but every three months instead of twelve....
Darts anyone?

Maybe the Jeremiahs should refuse the vaccine.
I shall continue to be cheerful, about it, until I hear otherwise.
p.s. I'm old enough not to need anyone, who thinks that they have the divine right, to tell me to be careful what I think.
