Thank you - that's interesting

Do you think that the longer the results take for the Oxford vaccine to be published, the more likely it is to be a success?

my logic is overly simple I'm sure, but is how they do it to wait for a certain number of positive tests to be returned from those involved in the study and then assess the proportion of those that received the placebo v the real thing. The longer it takes to reach a statistically significant number of positive tests surely means there is a greater chance the vaccine works?
