First step

And a significant one.

For the quibblers - this doesn't mean that everything would get back to normal instantly, but imagine that the number of vulnerable people getting sick from this reduces to only 1 in 10.

This kind of vaccine will help pave the way for lighter restrictions and much less disruption.

Kudos to everyone involved.
