What kind of news is this? You haven’t told us where the vaccine is from. What about our local scientists proposed vaccines on trial several months ago? What’s going on in this country? We are fast at announcing vaccines for any ailments, but we kill our local inventors and scientists. And you journalists are even worse. You always want to break news but fail to give basic information in your news content. The origin of the vaccine should have been one of the basic information in this story. But you failed to give readers and the public that basic information.
