“Tell me again how any of this matters?”
The people drug companies hire to design and develop new products make a lot of money because they understand and know how to deal with complex chemistry and biochemistry.
Imagine if your company could produce:
A. 20 million doses of a vaccine with no detectable breakthrough infection annually
b. 1 billion doses of a vaccine with 50 million breakthrough infections (but few deaths in those people capable of benefiting from any Covid vaccine) annually
From both a medical and economic viewpoint choice B would be the right choice.
It would be both economically stupid and immoral to make the more effective vaccine A.
yeah and it would be morally negligent if not criminal to push risky vaccine over less risky medication with equal or better results...its politics not science running this scamdemic.
I'm not sure why you'd reach that conclusion. There needs to be a clear benefit to the vaccine that is being produced.
Suppose you produce a billion "vaccines" and you end up with 50 million breakthrough infections. If (1) those people would have gotten infected even without a vaccine, and (2) there would have been no more than 50 million infections among the people who received the billion doses even if they had never taken your vaccine, then you're engaging in a massive fraud (at best) and perhaps even endangering the lives of those who may suffer side effects from the vaccine.
