I’ll be honest: I have concerns. Rolling out a partially effective vaccine regime (with a 12 week gap in the middle) at the peak of a highly prevalent viral epidemic really doesn’t seem like a great idea if your goals is to avoid vaccine resistance...

Help wanted: (not urgent/emergency!) There is a limerick that I only partly remember. It’s of a nautical theme and ends ‘haul up the top sheet and spanker.’ Does anyone know the start of it? I’m betting

does...!? C x

So good to see #vaccine science finally being embraced around the world. May this be an end to the Covid-19 pandemic AND an end to #antivax nonsense. X
