        I heard that he tripped over a kerb stone and accidentally decapitated himself - but hey - that's the Chinese media for you...

            I think we have all heard his blustering nonsense many times before. There are already cases here in the UK.

                  Isn't that brilliant - two cases only just discovered in the UK this morning, and by this evening they are in the final stages of tweaking the vaccine....


                  Seriously, they expect us to believe this bull?

                    You'd be a bit mad to believe anything written inthe Daily Mail...Paul Dacre noted that his job was to give the British people something new to be angry about every day. He was very good at it.

                        Yes it does!

                        Omicron: Covid vaccine developer says jab could be tweaked in 100 days if new variant evades immunity

                        And 100 days to tweak a vaccine might be reasonable. I'd leave it to the epidemiologists. If they say that works - happy days. But that's very far from 'it arrived this morning; they are claiming to have tweaked the vaccine by tonight' after all.

                          Unless of course they knew about the new strain some while ago and have only just released it to the public, giving time for Astra Zeneca to update the vaccine.

                            I would not be so bold as to put a time estimate on tweaking any form of medical treatment so soon after discovering a new variant of any virus/disease. I have a deepening distrust of all involved in this to be honest - far too much corruption and far too many lies.
