This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:16, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Shouldn't it be "led the trials of the" as I previously changed it to? Philafrenzy (talk) 13:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
IMO this hook is rather uninteresting, another "Did you know that X=Y?" It also doesn't sound like he's someone of importance, more like a lab technician... Yoninah (talk) 00:47, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- I'll go through the article again @Yoninah:, unless someone has another idea. Thanks for your thoughts. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:07, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- ALT1 ...that professor Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccinetrials in South Africa, originally didn't want to study medicine?
- ALT2 ...that Shabir Madhi led the study that showed that a rotavirus vaccine could significantly reduce the death rate among African infants? (infants, babies, newborns, children? article will need expansion on this) Philafrenzy (talk) 11:58, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks, Philafrenzy, your ALT1 does the trick, as always. Pinging original reviewer Cwmhiraeth to review ALT1. Yoninah (talk) 12:10, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
