    UK Guinea Pigs are Receiving the mRNA CCP Virus Vaccine

    UK administering the CCP Virus vaccine.

    LONDON — The U.K. is rolling out the first coronavirus vaccines to the public on Tuesday, making it one of the first countries in the world to do so.

    Member of the public Margaret Keenan, a 90 year-old grandmother, made history as she became the first person in the world to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine outside of trial conditions. The jab was approved by the U.K. drug regulator last week.

    Now, the vaccine will be given to front-line health workers, care home workers and those aged over 80, before it is given more widely among the U.K. population.

    On the eve of the vaccine being rolled out, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said it was a "huge step forward" in the fight against the pandemic. It will be the country's biggest vaccination drive ever.

    Johnson's sentiment was echoed by NHS England's Chief Executive Simon Stevens, who said on Monday that it was a "decisive turning point in the battle against coronavirus."

    British newspapers, meanwhile, hailed it "V Day" and "Vaxit" (a play on "Brexit" — the other big news in the U.K. this week).

    On the pic Margaret Keenan looks like a human, not like a guinea pig
    She is not in a cage
    not forced to get the vaccine
    Maybe she knows that Covid could kill her and she wants to live? We do not know her motivation


    There have been thousands before her in the process of research that have received the vaccine earlier, even they did this by free will

    I can't say with certainty that she looks "willing".

    By her eyes and posture she actually looks sedated already.

    I thought the parallel was rather gracious. Afterall, they are more akin to being used as lab rats.

    I give myself shots several times a day but still do not like being given one.
