Is anyone concerned about the lack of testing the new drug has had?

Nah.
It'll be fine.

Will you be taking it in the bottom?
Here, what about this vaccine.

These vaccines won't impact the spread much at all for several months given the ones getting it are the ones that spread it least.
Average Joe in the factory or moron Pete who can't help going into public places won't see a jab til early summer.

I think that’s a fair point-but I also think they’re trying to get the numbers down firstly of those that are possibly more prone to being hospitalised, more prone to then going to ICU and ultimately those that may die. Takes the pressure off the NHS.
I think the Oxford vaccine will then be rolled out more to the masses, depending on approval.

I'm not sure it is a fair point!
All the stuff I read is there's a strong correlation with how old you are and how bad you get it. Also a strong correlation between how bad you get it and how infectious you are. So, the elderly are MORE likely to pass it on in a like for like situation. All in all a complex picture IF (and I'm not convinced) the elderly are behaving themselves better?

With them starting in the care homes, then I don’t think that’ll have much impact on the ‘R’ number is what I mean. I accept an outbreak in there can impact, but in general, I don’t think the initial roll out will change transmission much.

Oxford one is cheaper, so the masses will get that one,,I suspect.
