While the world tries its best to fight the recent coronavirus outbreak, model and actress Brigitte Nielsen says she’d be willing to get infected on purpose — for a price.

Nielsen joined the panel of The Talk as a guest co-host on Tuesday and weighed in on the recent news that a medical testing company in London, Hvivo, is looking to pay volunteers around $4,500 to participate in a vaccine trial that would require them to be infected with a strain of coronavirus.
