#1 To these of you who wondered "biological chemistry" means somebody who researches biological macromolecules.

#2 All vacines are nominally dangerous at some level.
It's how they work.
Like all biological agents, they're intended to kill something. Hopefully the right thing.
I personally prefer to have lots of other people try this stuff out so we have a baseline on large, long term effect. Like, say, growing tentacles or some such.
You'll note that the researcher at the end has no inclination to take it for a year or so.

#3 Yes, back of the line for me as well, no problem.

#4 Am I convinced the vaccine is less risky than something 86% of British people need testing to even know they had it...

I am not.

If you're under 70 and not diabetic, this is one to skip.

Try and get the HPV one instead.

#5 I'm over 78 and have no plans to take it. When the Hong Kong flu vaccine came available in 1968 I did not take that one either..it was developed in four months.

#6 Given that Jake Tapper is now publicly giving credit to Trump for the vaccine, I think we can safely conclude that it will be found to be terrible, deadly, ineffective, etc. soon.

#7 Well, since the virus was Trump's fault to begin with, the least they can do is give him credit for the vaccine. /sarc
