"It's a race against the virus disappearing, and against time...

"...cases are declining." Adrian Hill, Director of Oxford's Jenner Institute. As reported on the UK Telegraph in May 2020

As more people wake up to the ginormous Covid scandal, it’s time to look back on the proceedings and try and figure out how this scam got off the ground.

Consider for example an article published on the UK Telegraph on 23 May 2020, reporting on AstraZeneca’s $1.2 billion deal with the US government to produce 400 million doses of the ‘unproven coronavirus vaccine’ first produced in Adrian Hill’s laboratory in Oxford University.

The article also reports the British Government had agreed to pay for up to 100 million doses, and that 30 million might be ready for UK citizens by September 2020.

So much was hinging on the vaccine… “The stakes could hardly be higher. If proven effective, the ZD1222 vaccine would allow people to leave their homes, go back to work, and rebuild the economy.”

But Adrian Hill, director of the Oxford’s Jenner Institute, revealed that his team faced a major problem, throwing the September deadline into doubt.

Apparently their adversary, ‘the virus’, was disappearing so rapidly in the UK that the next phase of trials had only a 50 per cent chance of success.

The Telegraph reports:

Without Covid-19 spreading in the community, volunteers will not catch the disease, leaving scientists unable to prove that their vaccine makes any difference.

Professor Hill said that of 10,000 people recruited to test the vaccine in the coming weeks - half of whom will be given a placebo - he expected fewer than 50 people to catch the virus. If fewer than 20 test positive, then the results may be useless, he warned.

“It is a race, yes. But it's not a race against the other guys. It's a race against the virus disappearing, and against time,” Professor Hill, 61, told the Telegraph from his university laboratory, long emptied by the lockdown.

“We said earlier in the year that there was an 80 per cent chance of developing an effective vaccine by September.

“But at the moment, there’s a 50 per cent chance that we get no result at all.

“We’re in the bizarre position of wanting Covid to stay, at least for a little while. But cases are declining."

(My emphasis.)

This is very interesting to think about now…

In May 2020, ‘the virus’ was disappearing? Adrian Hill said “We’re in the bizarre position of wanting Covid to stay, at least for a little while. But cases are declining.”

But hundreds of millions of doses of vaccine had been ordered…

We really need to revisit what was happening in May 2020…before the insane plan to vaccinate the entire global population, against a disease it was known from the beginning wasn’t a serious threat to most people, got off the ground.
