The U.K. is set to begin the world’s first trial of healthy volunteers being intentionally infected with coronavirus, after the study received ethics approval.
The so-called human challenge study will begin within a month, said the U.K. Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in a statement Wednesday, with up to 90 people being exposed to a very small amount of coronavirus in a safe and controlled environment.
The next stage of the study, which has not yet been approved, will involve giving a coronavirus vaccine to different volunteers and then exposing them to coronavirus. Only vaccines that “have proven to be safe in clinical trials” will be used. However, researchers are still a “long way” from this stage of the study, according to Terence Stephenson, chair of the Health Research Authority, which gave ethics approval.
Well good luck to those human Guinea pigs in the UK i suppose.

Governments in response to the virus in an effort to keep the number of deaths down , I don't think everything my government has done has been right but by and large I can see why they made the decisions they did.

I'm sure they'll work their funny numbers to show that people are better off with the vaccine even in spite of overcoming the virus on their own.

I've read enough to know that covid is no more serious than a cold, but you can keep believing that the Govt has your best interest at heart.
