Trump is speaking soon
“My body, my choice.”
I’m sure she stands for that on everything.
There is absolutely a way the vaccine, if approved shortly, will be ready for distribution to majority of population willing to take it by April.There’s just no way the vaccine will be ready to distribute to entire population by April.
And I’m still very curious about the data. All we know is that the vaccine protected some people for at least seven days.

While I have zero faith in the outgoing administration's ability to do anything, I have a lot of faith in capitalism, and the idea that the Pfizer's and Moderna's of the world will allow trillions of dollars to go out the door because there's no way to effectively administer their vaccine.The fact that the majority of the population won’t be willing to take it right away is probably the only reason why it could be available by April. 2 cryogenically cooled doses? That’s a non trivial type of energy consumption required to support an entire population on demand.
Indeed. It's why I'm very hopeful that we're almost around the bend here.As we've discussed ad infinitum over the past 6 months, the number of individuals that will need to be vaccinated is tied to the vaccine's overall efficacy. The higher the efficacy, the lower the number of people who will need to be vaccinated in order for herd immunity to be achieved. If indeed the Pfizer vaccine has a 90% efficacy as advertised, it may not matter how many Karens and dumbass Trumpers with truck nuts try to hold the initiative back.
Yes but measles R0 is like 6 or 7, whereas COVID is around 2.
You're not going to need to vaccinate the entire population.It’s two doses.
Are they saying they’ll be 600 million doses ready by April ?
I want a vaccine badly, but i also want to be realistic.
The press release had some encouraging news but we still don’t know much about it. Just seven days of data released. Why that number ?
I’ll listen to the doctors and if they say yep, this thing is good to go!, I’ll get in line.
Bringing up capitalism is a good point, that’s how a distribution problem gets solved. Private sector is good at solutions like that
But it can also work the other way too when it comes to transparency of effectiveness of the vaccine. Sometimes the stock holders matter more than the product or population.
I’m also very thankful Trump , Pence, Atlas, My Pillow Guy will have nothing to do with it

And yes, that many won't take it will help - but enough will and I'm confident that we'll get it done.

Sure but the PPE issues came suddenly (sorta), whereas th se companies have known since they began development in March that if they are unable to effectively distribute their product that they will lose out to any one of the dozens of other companies looking to win this race.Ok but you’re talking about infrastructure now, not just sales. It’s not that what you’re saying isn’t possible financially, it’s just that much like the mysterious disappearance of PPE, that takes time. You can’t just turn every clinic into an administering clinic overnight. It takes energy to hold something down at that low of a temperature. That’s a whole nother industry involved that needs to temporarily scale up. Cryogenics are not cheap (though thankfully they are renewable).

We'll see... I'm optimistic that they've thought of this and have a plan. Maybe I'm wrong.
Though thinmgs would have probably turned out better if he had,

But sure tell Americans to not eat with their families and friends
Or explain to the businesses here where i live that they can’t have indoor dining again for three weeks.
Do as i say, not as i do
