British Woman Is First To Receive BioNTech-Pfizer Covid Vaccination | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Whoever is playing our world’s plague Inc. Messed up real bad.
it looks like all going according to their plan

Area 51 was a successful raid. Lol
@Mr. Kennedy-Noce Area 51 is just a decoy. Area 52 is where all the really cool stuff is.
Proud of it Madam.
You inspire faith.Many thanks.
Jolly good news. My home land for ever! We’ll done! I’m ever so proud to be a Brit fore most, then comes the USA.
Great idea! We need vaccine side effects tested away from here! Just in case something happens, we can stop ALL flights from over there! Get your shotguns ready!!! It has started….
It’s a wonderful news if you ask me.
How’re you doing today Jessica
@James Stuart Thank you so much for asking. I’m relieved the process of vacs has begun, even if it is not here. But it will be, I know. Thanks again James.
@Jessica Cole I’m glad you’re doing just fine and I’m glad everything is all gonna be fine. We’ve been too much stress already.
Where’re your from Jessica?
And in America we turned down millions of vaccines
Note to everyone who gets any vaccine: It takes a few days/weeks to finish making an immune response. After you get your shot, avoid risk of exposure for a couple of weeks.
Lol, this vaccine has absolutely nothing to do with a virus silly
@Jessica Martinez Yes, please take medical advice from a guy named “Sunbathing Greg.”
You are an utter moron, and your hero here is a dangerous conman – the very definition of ‘snake oil salesman,’ except he doesn’t even bother to give you a bottle of snake oil for your money.
You need two shots of this particular vaccine, a fortnight apart.
@Ann TwoShoes When I see “Jessica Martinez’s” spam posting for the miracle cure by Sunbathing Greg, I need 2 double shots of tequila, a minute apart.
Trust me, both the shots of vaccine and the shots of tequila are quite effective (though I do have to repeat the tequila treatment, frequently).
Second dose is needed – we are being told that regularly in our news and government adverts
Me coming to the comment section to find out what the experts think
😂😂😂
ahaha facts
Thank god for our NHS, Just wish that all the world had an NHS system
@Ron K Well, it does work!
@Niki T And my prescriptions are free now that I’m drawing my state pension.
@Helen Short The NHS also subsidises pharmaceutical costs too.
Despite prescriptions costing working people reasonable set amounts all out of work people get them free.
@Hail The Leaf Yet Americans pay even higher taxes with no healthcare provided from them.
Whether you want to call it free or not, most sane people in the UK would call it a bargain and leave it at that.
@Deborah Freedman AND let’s shoot all the lobbyists! They are worthless.
Scientists did This!
Watch some slime ball politician try to take credit, like a Draft Dodger Bunker Baby!
@Will YoujustSTFU Not this one – Pfizer didn’t take squat from the US govmt for this before actual doses were ordered.
@B W Hhahahahahhaha, it’s childish, but on point – I love it!!
I googled pfizer and operation warp speed and it said 1.95 billion.
@alex sly that money is for the doses of vaccine, ya mug
@Accursed Dude have fun with your pfizer vaccine over there. Let us know how it goes!
Oh no, reports of a socialist health care system. How ghastly!
Who wouldn’t want extortionate medical fees, a president who really doesn’t care if they live or die and a government that cannot be bothered to secure adequate doses of a much needed vaccine during a pandemic?
@Goober madcow just curious, you wouldn’t happen to know where Trump’s health care plan that he has been promising will come out “in a very short period of time” for like three years know is, would you?
@Goober madcow It can take someone forever to see a doctor here too.
Congratulations UK! America has really sunken to a new low thanks to Trump. America will be short on the vaccine due to Trump not ordering enough.
Dont worry. You can have mine.
I hope you get it soon. Both of our countries really need it.
Boris didn’t order enough either.
@Bel- 6863 and mine too
Anyone thinking the vaccine is somehow fraudulent can always get theirs from The Pillow Guy.
Or a witch doctor.
Yes Oleander is very safe
😂😂😂
@Goober madcow My money’s on the witch doctor.
Whilst Americans can’t stop arguing with each other, the Brits are quietly moving ahead. As is the rest of the world.
@Cadre Deux If you think they delayed the vaccine because of your Trump….why can’t you and Trump established a pharmaceutical company to produced the vaccine in one month?
@best best The vaccine was created months ago. It was a question of getting it approved. If allowing it to be approved in October may of saved thousands of lives, but would of meant 4 more years of Trump. It was a price worth paying.
best best Any effort of fact checking would prove that the vaccines have been in clinical trials for months and therefore have already been created. “You guys Trumpsters always denies reality but enjoys conspiracy theories”. You may talk that way, but it looks incredibly stupid when you write that way. “You Trumpster guys always deny reality but enjoy conspiracy theories”
Tap your breaks.The Pfizer vaccine was financially backed by Berlin,so why wasn’t Germany first for widespread distribution.Does Germany think it is not safe? Or did UK payoff Pfizer to leapfrog.Something fishy here.
@Larry Mosher Every country have their own time and how to approve medicine or food which it seems like British time of approval is faster than others.
Meanwhile tRump turned down Pfizer and pulled out of WHO this last summer
Fast track Trump’s legacy
@Hard Rocker I believe several prosecutors, in New York and elsewhere, are doing that as we speak.
On January 20th, Trump will leave the White House and move directly to the Big House.
(Funniest quote from a US government official – the man in charge of security at the White House – when it was suggested Trump would not leave: “We know how to deal with trespassers in the White House.” Perfect deadpan, not even a tiny smile.)
@peter collins Funny as that trespasser quote was, it was Biden that said it.
@Kenny Hill Supposedly it was Tommy Sullivan who said it to a Biden aide. I wasn’t there, so I can’t swear to that.
And the vaccine is manufactured In Belgium….and it was invented in Germany BioNtech in Mainz. Pfizer helps with the production and distribution.
I can’t wait to get the vaccine! I miss a normal lifestyle.
I’m afraid normal is never coming back. That restaurant you loved to go to is out of business.
@Cadre Deux Yeah, a lot of stuff won’t be the same.
We must thank all the test volunteers for their courage. AstraZeneca is conducting U.S. trials of its vaccine (which shows the most promise), AZD1222, testing for safety, efficacy, and immunogenicity. There’s one study here in Knoxville. It’s really quite safe: a weakened adenovirus (a cold virus) containing the Sars-CoV-2 virus spike protein. The spike protein will be produced, priming the immune system to attack Covid-19 if it ever enters the body. The Pfizer vaccine is an mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine, which has never been done till now. Instead of introducing the spike protein via a weakened cold virus, the mRNA was designed (coded) to teach the immune system to build the spike protein used to attack Sars-Cov-2. Same aim, different approaches. This could revolutionize disease prevention and treatment.
And the vaccine is manufactured In Belgium….and it was invented in Germany BioNtech in Mainz. Pfizer helps with the production and distribution.
@nova00boss It’s not a question really.
A small company/lab can produce a vaccine on it’s own – but a vastly larger infrastructure is needed to conduct a trial with tens of thousands of participants across multiple countries, ages and ethnicities.
@nova00boss Indeed. Nothing would enoy Trump more that the married couple who “invented” this vaccine are Turkish immigrants who were brought to Germany at a very young age by their parents…to learn and study.
@Hard Rocker what hate?
Was the lead scientist not a Turkish man ? An example of course-operation between nations YEAH
@nova00boss That’s the point. Invented here in Germany (I confess, I’m a little proud), by … wait for it … migrants! With help from a US company. Clearly the kind of international teamwork, Trump don’t like. So he just ignored the German participation and already existing contracts and signed an Executive Order for “Americans first”, despite the lack of plans for distribution or storage capacities. Oh, and he likes to call it the Trump vaccine. Should we now chant “Stop the steal”? 😆
Jokes aside. I hope this is the beginning of the end for COVID-19. For all of us. With ❤️ from 🇩🇪
Americans are still recounting votes after 40 days of Election.
God I wish this sort of thing would happen in America
British lady “Go for it because it’s free”
American viewers “Yeah, about that…..”
I know of what you speak. Thank you for responding with, ” British Lady”. Love your gentleness. We need more of it.
We pay taxes to support our national health service and glad to do so : medicine free at hospitals etc
Rest of us : yay, by the time it reaches our shores, UK and US population would have mass tested it out for us. Those who have the numbers contained can afford to wait a little longer.
The US needs to learn from the rest of the world regarding health care
And, their messed up gun laws.
so lets see if I have this right. An old Irish lady has more common sense and bravery than the majority of trump supporters. Go figure. Sláinte m’dear.
