Warning: I do use the word 'simple' as a relative description of the process compared to making the original simple for brilliant medical scientists that is.
Out of interest, did they say how simple it would be to create 120 million doses and put them in the arms of 60 million British people before the new variant took hold? Did they also expand and say how easy it would be to quickly vaccinate the entire population of the world to prevent the new variant becoming widespread and, possibly, mutating further still?
