...but 22 miles away the care-free Brits (*just* 127,000 people killed so far) will open themseleves up to more situations where the deadly virus can run rampant...AGAIN.

By all accounts intense and single-minded, Dr. Kariko lives for “the bench” — the spot in the lab where she works. She cares little for fame. “The bench is there, the science is good,” she shrugged in a recent interview. “Who cares?”

What a great attitude. A massive distinction to the show offs involved in Oxford who have become media celebrities.

Like who?

I do find it odd that gyms are opening tomorrow and you don't need to wear a mask in gyms. I know its hard to work out in a mask but it doesn't make sense to have to wear one in all indoor venues except for gyms?

Simple solution: keep them closed.

They’re cashing in on their fame too, as they’ve even brought out their own range of Science books for kids.

How dare they, get the lamp posts ready.

You keep on saying all this but its just not feasible. I was looking on social media earlier and it looks like people are starting to have large gatherings regularly indoors now. I actually really do believe pubs should be open indoors from tomorrow to avoid these dangerous indoor gatherings of 20-30 people with no social distancing.

Sarah Gilbert for one. Never out the news. Take a look at how many interviews she's done.

Then again, she has her own bio-trech company to boost.

We're grateful they did what they did. Do they have to grab the limelight? Dr Kariko didn't feel the need.

Youlre kidding me, right?

Can you show me the data on this, as I don’t think it’s true.

How can @tsubaki not be right that more of the UK population would be fully vaccinated if Pfizer had been rolled out as first planned? It stands to reason there'd be more double doses administered.

Another intervention from smart Alec that is less than smart.

Weird to talk about yourself in the third person.

You have to consider people are no longer complying after 4 months of full lockdown. Pubs are safer than uncontrolled indoor gatherings.

Why do you care...

You’re such a bitter man, these people did some tv interviews, so what. They’re saving lives doing research while you sit on a football forum all day chatting wham.

Your lack of self awareness of your own meagre contributions to society while you tear others down is pretty hilarious.

Whatever next, a special Strictly Come Dancing just for vaccine scientists ?

I'm a scientist. Get me out of here.

It does make sense for the reason you said. It’s dangerous to exercise while wearing a mask.

Allowing an exemption for gyms doesn’t diminish the benefit of mask wearing in all other settings.

It’s not
