Most other teams have had to start with small clinical trials of a few hundred participants to demonstrate safety. But scientists at the university’s Jenner Institute had a head start on a vaccine, having proved in previous trials that similar inoculations — including one last year against an earlier coronavirus — were harmless to humans.
That has enabled them to leap ahead and schedule tests of their new coronavirus vaccine involving more than 6,000 people by the end of next month, hoping to show not only that it is safe, but also that it works.
The Oxford scientists now say that with an emergency approval from regulators, the first few million doses of their vaccine could be available by September — at least several months ahead of any of the other announced efforts — if it proves to be effective.

From a conspiracy perspective….Warning...this op will have a conspiracy angle to it
And if everything is on the up and up, which I doubt in this world, great, then we a vaccine soon.

I hope its true...
Then all of the fear-mongers can get vaccinated (but not me and mine), and my world can get back to normal.

What I dont understand is how we can be told the virus is constantly mutating and here to stay, and at the same time be told a vaccine is necessary and presumed effective. Can anyone explain that for me? I aware I may just be misunderstanding something. It seems however that there are mutually exclusive ideas being pushed simultaneously.

If the Asians have been working on this vaccine for many years, I highly doubt that it will work. Everyone who does get sick after vaccination will be tested only for the flu, so it will appear that this virus is working greatly when in fact it does nothing. At least it will be safer having a fake vaccine than having one that kills people.

Christ!
STOP THINKING AND TAKE THE DAMNED SHOT!
Or get punished by the future government "Czar" of Covid.
You do want to leave your home and go out, don't you?
Then let the government track you, pump strange drugs into you and BEHAVE!
Don't worry. After the shot, you won't be able to think so much anyway.
