"Well i heard it usually takes 10 years not 10 month for a new vaccine So I’m in no rush to join cue " You "heard"? Where did you hear this precisely, which scientific journal? My understanding is that after SARS a number of vaccine "templates", for want of a better word, we're developed in anticipation of an event like this. Therefore, the bare bones of the vaccine were already there, it won't needed and actual virus to complete the vaccine development. This combined with all the research, resources and financing from the worldwide community to find a solution would have helped speed up the process more than considerably. The opposite posture to what you "heard" is of course, "we have a wholly unique global pandemic that spreads exponentially, kills hundreds of thousands and permanently ruins the lives of thousands more, but no rush, let's take 10 years to develop a "fix" The second scenario is fecund stupidity, yes?

"Well i heard it usually takes 10 years not 10 month for a new vaccine So I’m in no rush to join cue " The vaccine had already been proven, all they needed to do was slight adaption to fight the current virus, this is obvious when you realise that the first human trials were started a few weeks after the virus was sequenced so actually it took the best part of 30 years to develop and test the Pfizer one | |||

Ready to go as soon as the virus was sequenced. It was a solution waiting for a problem and money to back it. There will be many benefits in years to come with this tech now its been accepted. | |||

"Can we all take a minute to take in what today's news actually means. This is amazing. 1 year almost to the day since the first case was officially reported, there is a vaccine ready to go. Yes there will be people saying rushed etc but this is huge. They've worked on nothing else for this year. I think it is a huge success for science and thanks to everyone involved, there is now light at the end of this long dark tunnel " Actually I found it quite emotional watching the news tonight, the start of the rest of our lives and a day that should be of significant note in history. Hell we should make the 2nd December a public holiday, a day of celebration of life, and of reflection for those that lost their lives to this bloody virus | |||

"Have they said how long you will be immune for once you get your 2 doses required?. Or will it be a yearly jab similar to the flu jab... " The official answer They have not had the time to find out  | |||

I think he's saying that being out of the EU has led to less bureaucracy and sped up the approval process, the EMA has not approved it yet, but I'm sure they're only a few days behind."It is of course just another Tory lie that Brexit had any positive effect on this. As reported widely: "Britain’s medicines regulator has contradicted claims by health secretary Matt Hancock that the UK got the first coronavirus vaccine faster because of Brexit. Speaking shortly after the announcement that the Pfizer/BioNTec jab had been cleared for use by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Mr Hancock said that the authorisation process was faster than in the EU because Britain was no longer a member. But asked if this was the case, MHRA chief executive June Raine said the process was undertaken under the terms of European law, which remains in force until the completion of the Brexit transition at the end of 2020. The discrepancy emerged as Germany’s ambassador to the UK hit out at ministers’ claims that authorisation of the vaccine developed by a German company was a win for Britain. “Why is it so difficult to recognise this important step forward as a great international effort and success?” tweeted Andreas Michaelis. “I really don't think this is a national story. In spite of the German company BioNTech having made a crucial contribution, this is European and transatlantic.”" | |||

"It is a great day to celebrate science. Those who come out with the really tired phrases and tropes, the scare fearmongering, based on absolutely zero science or evidence, such as 'It takes 10 years...' etc, need to put their focus on reading, learning and celebrating science. Of the many months of claptrap here in this section, the unfounded scare stories and tactics, often being the manipulated puppets of people and other states getting richer from you, leaving the festering ignorance to decay the country's wellbeing, they didn't have to do much! You can see how the dirty propaganda from other former atrocities managed to infest the people who become the willing agents of wars. It's often better to shut up, if you have no scientific evidence. " Correct and I point out some of the fastest and biggest leaps in medicine are made during global conflicts were many countries share their research rather than keep it secret for monetary gain because they are a necessity, this is after all a global conflict just because it's against a virus does not make it any less a necessity or a huge break through, the knock on effect could be immense against other members of this virus family, | |||

"Except the EU authority responsible for licensing it isnt due to meet again for several weeks, were we still members we couldnt use it until they approved it. I wonder how many vulnerable lives will be lost due to the delay hopefully none. I bet you Boris haters would soon be up in arms if we were slower than the rest of the EU in releasing it. | |||

Except the UK has managed to approve this vaccine under EU legislation, just as the other member states could have done. "Not as I understand it, we have approved it under the eu legislation as we rolled it over with everything else when we left earlier in the year, we are no longer subject to the EU body that approves new treatments, once the ema has approved it the commission then has to give authority for its use in eu countries which then take the decision on whether to use it. We now arent under the ema, that is my take on it, if you know different perhaps let us know | |||

In addition this vaccine has most likely had far more impetus applied than anything in recent memory. That's why it's managed to be ready for approval so quickly. | |||
