I have just watched this and really can recommend it . It tells the stories of the development of the Covid vaccines. It explains why normally vaccines take a long time to develop and why this has gone so much faster.

It ends on a note of hope that it has changed the world of science R&D - to one of cooperation which can only benefit the world of medicine.

And a bit of additional reading:

We had recorded it and watched it last night. We found it so interesting and were in awe of those scientists and their dedication.

That is what they do!!! I would have loved to have been part of it. I'd had it recorded on Filmon and finally got round to it while watching Federer playing Norrie in the background - a good afternoon all round!

I saw it lasted an hour and a half and thought I'd just watch a part of it, but ended up watching all. Thanks so much for drawing attention to this. It's excellent and really gives a good picture of what's happening world wide.

I had also recorded it but only watched it today. Inspiring and humbling.
