Risky as they haven’t even started human trials, but huge financial payoff

https://nypost.com/2020/04/15/johnson-johnson-eyes-600-million-coronavirus-vaccines-by-early-2021/

Johnson & Johnson says it aims to have more than half a billion coronavirus vaccines ready early next year.

The pharmaceutical giant will have 600 million to 800 million vaccines available in early 2021, when it expects the US government to approve the drug it plans to start testing in humans this September, chief financial officer Joe Wolk said Tuesday.

“The timeline still is pretty certain,” Wolk told Yahoo Finance in an interview. “We’re manufacturing at risk to ensure that should the clinical development and the trials be successful, we are in a position to kind of flip the switch and ready to go to create great access across the globe.”

Very, very confident.

Mate I've been doing a bit of my own research on it all week and my logic tells me it came from that Wuhan Lab, how it was released is up for debate, accidental or intentional?, maybe the truth will come out in the wash.

Mate my logic tells me you have several active restraining orders against you and for good reason.

Asian countries are so much better prepared for this than us due to exposure to more of these types of virus. Hence how they’ve appeared to get away with relatively few issues. If there was a sudden outbreak of CJD globally I’m sure we’d fare far better than them thanks to recent dealings with the type of disease.

Germany's finance minister today saying that the financial recovery after this crisis should be financed in the form of higher tax on higher earners, whilst those on medium to low incomes should be protected as much as possible. Also saying that the "everyday heroes" doing the essential jobs should be rewarded with higher pay.

What a Marxist!

This is as much a conspiracy as the virus not existing or it being a weapon. Truth is China has dealt with things like this on a bigger scale and more than most the rest of the world. Safe to say they're more prepared for it, don't know why that's so unbelievable esp with the measures they took in lock down, makes the lock down here look non existant.

While all that is true, there's also the evidence of 50,000 body bags being delivered to Wuhan and the expulsion of all foreign reporters.

I don't give a [Poor language removed] what people think about Piers Morgan but the man deserves recognition for him speaking up for the public during the coronavirus pandemic and the government's incompetence.

You tell it like it is brother!

Probably just a ploy to make it look like they’ve done something, that. The headline rate might go up a bit but the definition of “higher earners” will end up meaning everyone earning above average.

Go after the tax havens instead and no one will need to pay any increases in tax. You’ll vastly improve public finances in the future into the bargain.

Haven't seen that article. Link it there mate. Asides that, body bags getting delivered isn't out of the ordinary, especially in an epidemic, could be preparation or could be that they just needed them. People seem to forget coronavirus isn't the only cause of death now, people still die from other illness and in China alone, I know from a recent article, that 300k die every year due to pneumonia from air pollution, so add that on top of the corona figures and whatever other causes and body bags being delivered isn't so strange

I’d love it if some lads in China were talking about CJD and saying it was cos someone slept with a cow.
eurghhh those dirty westerners. Did you know that they eat veal? It’s no wonder. Scum.

Yeah you're probably right. He did name a figure of a couple of hundred thousand though

I see the government are claiming that this crisis shows why we need to leave the EU, without a deal if necessary (and refusing any request for an extension):

There`s a good doc on Youtube - the Origin of the Wuhan Coranavirus.

It`s not a tin foil hat job, give it a watch and see what you think.

I`ve deliberately avoided commenting on it due to fear of being reported to the CCP secret police by their UK representative Chairman @davek

Some of the tinfoil hat brigades actually do good research, investigative journalism (to an extent) and bring up some good points and food for thought. However, the problem is, is that they usually end their well researched articles/ videos with something about Trump being our savoir from pedo rings ran by Hilary Clinton and lizard men on the moon who want to implant us with microchip IDs and kill us with vaccines.

I like to look at most things in life from all angles. Everything should be questioned and further researched, a sensationalist media's word and the word of certain specialists, who usually have vested interests in what they're pushing, shouldn't always just be taken at face value and you only have to look throughout history to see examples of why I say that.

So on that I admire what some of the guys out there are doing, trying to find answers and solutions, but as I said some end up down crazy rabbit holes of conspiracies which undoes their good work ultimately. Still interesting to read though lol
