China claim to have a vaccine

[Steve30000]

Really? They won't mind if the world scientists have a look at this then, will they?

Or are they going to charge us for it?

[Jenky]

Whoever invents it gets the patent and profits?
Who cares as long as we can all access it.

This might be true but I doubt if the west will have it on the market unless it has been tested over and over which normally takes 18 months.

It takes that long to get a vaccine, then test it.

They're claiming to already have the vaccination, which would surely cut the timeline down?

Can't see how since we've only known about this strain for about 4 months.

They had it for 2 month longer, didn't they?

Anyway, maybe it's just me, but I don't believe owt they say. I'd say it's pretty convenient for them to claim to have a vaccine after it's caused so much chaos across the world, and it's having a damaging effect on our economy's... Except theirs..

Well dodgy to me, something is not right there. Maybe it's just a coincidence, eh?

Nah but you are in the right forum to instigate a debate and we've had some of them over the years here

Correct! The west will never put something like this on the market unless it's been given a good run through.
Don't expect an injection within the next 12 months.
