Fast-tracking a vaccine
Holly Goodhead:
As I understand it the above is being worked on with various timescales given the longest some 18 months. Those working on a vaccine have admitted it will not go though all the normal clinical trials to check for side effects because it can take months/years for any side effects to develop.
How do others feel about getting vaccinated given the above?

IMO any vaccine developed will be about as effect as the flu vaccine. I had terrible flu last New Year and previously in Dec 2018 - after the first 2 flu vaccines I'd had in my lifetime. Given the haste in which various governments want Covid 19 mass vaccination implemented, I will be very reluctant to have the jab.
