2/ The chimpanzee adenoviral vector was used in the development of MERS and SARS vaccines.
Clinical trials had already proved safety and a strong immune response before COVID-19 existed https://www.bioworld.com/articles/434491-jenner-institutes-chimpanzee-derived-adenoviral-vector-advancing-in-covid-19-vaccine-trials

5/ @DrEricDing from the Federation of American Scientists applauded the transparency of the @UniofOxford/ @AstraZeneca group’s research. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1336720851165728770?s=21
6/ This really is an injection of hope for humanity across the globe.
The jab doesn’t require -70C freezing and is 8-10x cheaper.

7/ The @UniOfOxford / @AstraZeneca vaccine will be sold at cost to the NHS – costing less than a cup of coffee per dose.
This by @jeremycorbyn is dangerous and wrong. Free markets and capitalism are playing their part in getting us out of this crisis. https://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/1341720743873310720?s=21

8/ Thank you again to @MattHancock, @nadhimzahawi and your dedicated team @DHSC for all the tireless work in planning to get jabs in people’s arms.
9/ Life is for more than existing.
Vaccines mean we can unlock our country.
We can get back to doing the things that have been robbed from us- simple things like giving our loved ones a simple hug.
And rebooting our economy with a fresh start.
