And each time it's been shown that the vaccines are effective.
So we're in a maintenance phase. If a variant turns up that the vaccines are ineffective against, the research will pick up again, but until they've got a new target in sight it's only natural that the research will drop off.

The global vaccination roll out will generate a vast amount of data
So that is going to be an active area of research for a while. Hope at least one of the papers is going to conclude definitely how the virus jumped from bats to humans

Bats?
Sounds like you’re just trying to draw attention away from your pangolin fucking fetish...

Sure, and it'll be useful research. Again though, there's going to be less global interest in that than there will be in "what the fuck is killing us and how do we stop it?"

Fuck's sake, you're only happy when the sky is falling aren't you?
It even says in that article that the Pfizer one is effective, but no, you have to go with the knee-jerk "we're all fucking doomed" angle.
The different vaccines work in different ways. We've got an array of ways to attack it now and where one fails, another succeeds. If one is shown to be ineffective, it'll be modified until it is effective.
The Guardian sells doom. That's it's angle. Nothing good is happening and we're all fucked. Branch out a little.

Well, yes, but the Telegraph is just as hysterical
and don't start on The Daily Mail. I try to read The Times but honestly, it's fucking rabid. The only that really rate is the FT and I'm too stingy to get an online subscription.

Or just bin news sites entirely. How much is your life improved by knowing that Tiger Woods has crashed his car again?
I took a three month break from news sites last year and was much happier as a result. I'll probably do it again soon. If something important happened, I still found out about it. There's nothing to be gained from doomscrolling, and a lot to lose.

I'm just waiting for Boris to appear on the deck of the Ark Royal in front of a 'problem solved' banner before I declare it over

I doubt it's even there any more. It was scrapped in 2013 so it's probably supporting a bridge or building somewhere by now.
