Re: Coronavirus

My mum has had both doses of the Phizer vaccine, the second dose administered by pharmacist and left slightly sore arm but no other problems.

I did read something about pharma companies not normally wanting to do vaccines because of economics so the normal development cycle will have lots of pauses while the bean counters work out if it's worth going to the next stage. There was a lot less of this for the CV-19 vaccine so progress was quicker but not necessarily less thorough. Essentially the finance and admin people where pushed out of the way of the science/medicine. Certainly longer term affects would be "missed" but in a crisis situation that would apply anyway - you get someone out of a dangerous situation to save their life even it could leave them in a wheelchair.
