DUBAI: Nearly two-thirds of respondents to an Arab News Twitter poll said they would not be willing to take part in a coronavirus vaccine trial.
Of the 949 people who took part nearly 61 percent said they would not be willing to join a vaccine trial, while nearly 40 percent said they would.
Laboratories around the world are in a race to be the first to discover a formula that will cure the virus that has claimed up to 880,000 lives, while infecting millions more.
The discovery of a cure, or vaccine to protect us from the virus, would likely be worth millions to the country and company that creates it.
But many people are wary to take part in such trials as part of the process often involves being infected with the disease that is being researched.
