British company develop vaccine said to be “110% effective against Covid 19”
2020-11-16
A British firm saw they have developed a vaccine which they claim to be “110% effective against Covid 19.” The announcement comes hot on the heels of announcements by American pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Moderna that they have developed vaccines that are over 90% effective.
“Mon dieu, ninety per cent is a bit poor” said Derek Trotter, Managing Director of newly formed TrotterMed. “We’re guaranteeing ours 110% and we’re backing that up with cold hard cash. Anyone who catches Covid after using our vaccine can have their money back. No questions asked…apart from have you got Covid and how do you know?”
Details of the trials of the vaccine have still to be released but are thought to have centred around a used car lot and a pub.
“We’re ready to scale this up just as soon as we’ve made some space in the fla…factory.” said an ebullient Mr Trotter. “We’re not doing this for the money, but if it all goes according to plan, this time next year we’ll be millionaires.”
As The Bugle went to press, it was uncertain whether TrotterMed would get the government contract to supply the vaccine as none of the owners are related to a member of the cabinet.
