(Reuters) - Oxford University and AstraZeneca (AZN.L) plan to recruit around 10,000 adults and children in Britain for trials of an experimental coronavirus vaccine which on Thursday received U.S. backing worth up to $1.2 billion.

The university said on Friday that partner institutions across Britain had started recruiting up to 10,260 adults and children to see how well the human immune system responds to the vaccine and how safe it is.

1. Damn, I wish we weren't involved.

Don't trust anything that the drumpf administration does and them investing in this is scary since they will be under a ton of pressure from their boss to push it out NOW regardless of any testing, ineffectiveness, even murderousness. Fuck!

2. There wasn't pressure before?

1. "Hurry up, we can make a lot of money. You will be famous. We will be hailed as heroes."

2. "Hurry up--every day you don't have a vaccine is another day that 4500 people die. You could be the one who saves 4500 sons, daughters, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. Per day. In the time I took to say this, 3 people died."

3. "Hurry up--Trump wants this done now. Gotta hurry, Big Guy's waiting."

3. Oh yeah.

Biggest ass in the entire world fucking up the world's recovery from this shit for his personal profit. I was hopeful for the Oxford project before he invested 2 billion in it. Now, not so much.

4. The last two times we tried "warp speed" vaccines they failed miserably. I don't see how this

... is any different.
