After 18 months of having unknown chemicals injected into my arse cheeks, blood tests, pissing in a tub, ECG's and nasal swabs I've just completed my final session as a volunteer on a clinical trial for a new covid prevention drug.
You're welcome

Phone call from St Thomas's heart unit.
Can we make an urgent appointment with your daughter?
Can I be told why?
No.
Hmm. I will try to get hold her for you.
Yes she is out of the country, not sure about her insurance status. At what point do you stop being worried about adult offspring?
Rgds
When do they tell you if you had the real drug or the placebo?
I asked them that today. Not for a while, there's apparently sub-studies running so won't be until these are finished. You can be unblinded for medical reasons but not just out of curiousity.
I've been swanning around like Asterix full of magic potion for the last 18 months and not had the pox yet so I'm guessing it was the real thing. There was only a 1 in 3 chance of it being placebo.

Happy World Whisky Day!!
"...are we human, or are we diver?"
As I cycled up the hill this morning, a grey squirrel ran ahead of me, randomly squiggling all over the road. It did a sudden sideways leap through the hedge and there was a splash and a very surprised squeak -straight into our neighbours' dew pond!
Definitely don't doubt Dawn - not if you value your life
Grey squirrels can do very stupid things. We had one in the garden some years ago that would torment cats by dancing close to them and then dashing up a tree. All was well until the silly little bugger tried it with a fox, furry packed lunch! Thats evolution I guess.
Evolution is great at solving problems. It's the methods that concern me.
