Yes, Margaret, there are a lot of things to think about regarding the vaccine – and especially the short time it has taken from being developed to being called safe to use. When you consider how long it normally takes for vaccines and other medications to be developed and made available, the speed with which this vaccine is being marketed as being (potentially) safe is a bit of a worry (well more than a bit).

As we all know, there’s a common-sense reason for testing regarding any newly developed vaccines and such. There are numerous stages to go through before this gets passed and made available which can take several years. What makes this one different?

I am definitely not against vaccinations – I have my flu jab every year and recently had the whooping cough one (have got a new great-granddaughter and this is the recommended thing to do). I was quite willing to roll up my sleeve for these as they have been well and truly tried and tested, but I will hesitate to have the COVID one.
