Here's one for the covid deniers, and everyone else, would you allow yourself to be injected with covid to help medical science....... and earn £4000 into the bargain?

I definitely would consider it. But apparently I’m too old already. 😭

It you're too old I definitely am! And I've had my jab!😀

It seemed a horrendous idea when I saw the headline, but looking at the detail they're talking about a very mild dose under the strictest supervision and with full medical back up, so probably as safe as these things can be.

I assume they'll carefully screen the volunteers to ensure they're doing it for the right reasons. I'd hate to think anyone was doing it out of sheer desperation.

I would pretend i have, and i would tell the people that i have it, but definitely i would not be infected with a virus for this cheap 😜

In my 20s yes.  Now I'm almost 51, no.
