The UK is pushing ahead to be the first nation to carry out "human challenge" studies where up to 90 healthy people will be deliberately exposed to Covid.
The trials, which could begin in January, aim to speed up the race to get a Covid-19 vaccine.
The government is putting ?33.6m towards the groundbreaking work.
Is this even valid research? The news said the virus would be injected into the volunteers, rather than via a natural infection route. I assume that is to avoid the biosecurity needed to release the virus into the air.
