Second, vaccines take on average, 10 - 12 years to be developed; yet the Covid-19 vaccines were developed in less than a year and I am vilified because I ask the simple question how this could be done? Your conclusion is part right in that 'name calling and demonisation' are not a reasonable approach but wrong in that I, like others, need to be 'educated'.
