Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the fact one of the “human guinea pigs” got sick in phase three trials of a potential coronavirus vaccine just shows Australians have to instead learn to live with the virus and not wait for what could be a false hope.

Trials for one of the world’s most promising coronavirus vaccines, being developed by Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, has been suspended after a participant suffered and adverse reaction. Mr Bolt said while the sick participant doesn't mean the end of the vaccine, and that even if this vaccine doesn't work, there are eight others in phase-three trials. "But, on the other hand, this is a big warning," Mr Bolt said.

"Surely it's clear now we cannot bet everything on being saved within months by a medical miracle. "It would be a miracle, because no vaccine has yet been discovered for any coronavirus, and this one, even if it works, could work only partially like the flu vaccine. "So yes, go ahead, hope for the best, but plan for disappointment. Be more realistic. "Which means for us, ending this stupid fantasy that we can live like this until the vaccine does finally come.

Australia doesn't know 'China's new rules nor what it'll do next' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly says the fact Australia doesn’t know what China will do next is debilitating and alarming. \n\nThe decision to rush out the last two Australian accredited journalists in China in recent days has raised serious questions about the way Australia manages relationship with its most significant trade partner, but also, 'its most significant regional security threat,' said Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\n“I think we’re in a downward spiral in terms of the bilateral relationship (with China),” Mr Kelly said.\n\n“The really alarming aspect of all of this is that we don’t know what the new rules are.”\n\nMr Kelly said the fundamental question was: “how safe are Australians in China?”\n\n“If you look at the size of the business relationship, if you look at the scope of the people to people relationship, this is a really, really disturbing event,” he said. \n\n“The alarming thing about it is that people don’t know what China might do next.\n\n“That’s really debilitating.”\n\nImage: AP Maybe if morons in Australia stopped working on behalf of the US government & started working on behalf of Australians, we wouldn't be in this mess. This idiotic trade war, when did that start & who started it?⬇️ When did you know anything about China? How long ago? Have you ever seen the true colours of China? LNP and diplomacy do not exist in the same place.
