So continuing to talk to Wilkinson,
you mentioned briefly that I rather ran over it at the beginning that you'd actually be involved in volunteering to carry out vaccine clinics.
How did that come about? Yeah, so early in the pandemic, when they were looking at doctors, how could we contribute?
And then vaccines came along and there was a big opportunity for doctors to get involved in
vaccinating not just the countries that do very impractical procedures and done for many years,
but say through that and I trained in giving the vaccines and I've been running
to participate in vaccine clinics in general practise since the first wave.
We're now running the booster clinics, and that's that's been really rewarding.
So how much of your time, you know, we keep doing and doing clinics from your average day.
I mean, you tend to give to a clinic every week, maybe every two weeks.
So that's 60, 70 patients usually in a batch.
And that's been really interesting, both in terms of, you know, face to face with people who are living through the pandemic and having the vaccines.
And you'd expect only the hopes and fears and the worries about people coming for vaccines,
everything from will this vaccine give me a blood clot to, you know, can it can can my friend have it while she's sitting in the waiting room?
So there's all those kind of real life engagements of the boss, which is much more.
It was it should be. It's actually been a very positive experience. Me personally, again, feeling I'm doing something useful.
But also 99.9% of people are so grateful.
They really understand what a triumph the vaccines have been.
They're very proud to be British and being on oxygen, they're very prone to forgetting oxygen.
I remember the first one who's going kind have the oxygen is this the oxygen took the 50% the time.
It wasn't, it wasn't I wasn't, it was kind of random which got so that's been good kind of sort of thoughts
and pride about being in this at the institution that developed the vaccine. Although of course I have no credit whatsoever for the vaccine itself.
So that's been great fun together, seeing, seeing people appreciate it. And then as people come back to the second dose now for the booster,
you sort of see again how the population's views about this whole thing is evolving.
What we talked about earlier, it's going from being is brand new, exciting but really scary thing through.
It's a bit of a booster and I'm hoping to go on holiday and can I have my passport and those sorts of things.
So again, seeing the evolution of, if you like, the society implications of the of the,
of the pandemic coming through and whilst doing something sort of prompt and appreciating.
So that's been I have a golden goose at the end of.
