This week sees the final opening of the new Vaccine Development & Evaluation Centre at Porton Down.

For an investment of £65mn the Govt. hopes to be able to develop a #vaccine response to any #pathogen, such as a new wave of #Coronavirus, within 100 days; whatever we think about #Tories past efforts as disease control, this seems like a sensible & timely #investment.

But, its proximity to a defence facility (working on similar issues but for defence) will set the #socialmedia rumours flying!
