It also needs two doses which isn’t ideal either. There are three or four more trials due to report before the end of the year. Some are one dose and can be stored in a normal fridge which would make rollout easier

Life should return to normal by spring, says UK vaccine expert

Sir John Bell , a regis professor of medicine at Oxford University who sits on the UK’s vaccine taskforce, has said he believes “with some confidence” that life should return to normal by spring next year following the Pfizer/BioNTech announcement.

Bell is one of the UK’s leading experts on this topic, so his prediction carries significant weight – not just for the UK but for other countries, too.

Bell said he was “really delighted” with the news and described the vaccine’s preliminary efficacy of 90% as “amazing”. He said there would be distribution challenges but that these were not insurmountable.

It was likely that “more than one” vaccine would be rolled out in the UK by the end of the year or early next year, he said. “It rolls the pitch for other vaccines because I can’t see any reason now why we shouldn’t have a handful of good vaccines available. It’s a major step.”

On BBC Radio 4’s World at One, the presenter, Sarah Montague, asked Bell if the vaccine meant that life should be returning to normal by spring.

Bell answered: “Yes, yes, yes. I’m probably the first guy to say that but I will say that with some confidence.”

“That’s fabulous news,” said Montague. It certainly is.

NPHET won’t entertain such loose talk as that. I’d say they already have another 9 months of house arrest planned for 2021.
