Sorry for 2nd reply.
I can’t help thinking, in my more skeptical moments, that a lot of this “hurry up, let’s get a vaccine made!” sound like just more feel-goodism, to make everyone feel like their govt. is “doing something”. Anything.
I think there was a lot of that as well.
But here we have Fauci, who at the start of his career predicted that HIV would a) spread throughout the general population and b) he would have a vaccine in two years. So he’s gotta know from personal experience that it’s one thing to say “we’ll have a vaccine” and another to produce one.
It’s tough, which is why companies that succeed should be richly rewarded.
The media are just stupid though. Probably had no idea what they were talking about from the very beginning.
Yup. Don’t be shocked when they start injecting a placebo to save face.
