Anyone interested in the story of how one of the world's foremost Covid vaccines was developed will find the book, Vaxxers absolutely fascinating. It tells the story of the Oxford/AZ vaccine and the race against the virus. It is an astonishing take, told with humour and excitement. It is available as an e-book and as an Audiobook. I initially borrowed a copy from my local library, but the story is so compelling and likely to become a classic that I bought a copy from Waterstones. Sir Jeremy Farrar. Director of the Welcome Trust calls it: One of the most epic and pioneering moments in human history.

Vaxxers is by Professor Sarah Gilbert and her senior research fellow Dr Catherine Green, and it is published by Hodder & Stoughton.

ISBN 978-1-529-36985-4

Compulsive reading, and thoroughly recommended.

Very clever people Ken, watched the program last night makes you wonder when she said they were trying to secure a million or two in funding for initial research which came via private sector funding initially, the government should hang their heads in shame they spunk that much in stationary claims.

Scary prospect virus Y and the shambles running this country now and when the next one comes along will still not have learnt.
