    If we can get Bill Gates' name on it, that would be even better

    I was only joking

      He could just pay for the manufacturing, which I believe he's already doing, and then it could be 'the 5G vaccine funded by Bill Gates'.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        I hope Gilead, Genentech, GlaxoSmithKlein, Griffols, and Grünenthal collaborate and call their product 'the 5G vaccine'.

        That should shorten the line even more.

          In fairness, one's personal interest and risk profile is best served by the whole society other than you taking a vaccine. So who's the genius?

          Education is extremely important.

              Bill Gates. Not only does he get his name on a vaccine, he also gets to beta test Windows 13 Nano Edition on billions of people.

                Interesting podcast on NYT’s The Daily podcast (link below) about how, when there IS a vaccine ready, that 50% of the country may not take it, or hesitant about it.

                I’d only be hesitant given rush of a vaccine being created. So maybe I’m part of that 50%?

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                      Free riding is only possible if nearly everyone else is vaccinated. That's why the anti-vaxxers usually get away with it. But from the looks of things we won't get sufficient take-up to support free riders. At least at first.

                      Only non-witches get due process.

                        And the Chinese did a month before that. 'Approved' like the Russian one.

                        We have dozens. But we have to do this damn safety and efficacy testing at scale that they don't concern themselves with.

                          Oh, and the Russians stole the Oxford/AZ vaccine anyway.

                            https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/coronavirus-vaccine-trump/2020/09/01/b44b42be-e965-11ea-bf44-0d31c85838a5_story.html

                            The Trump administration said it will not join a global effort to develop, manufacture and equitably distribute a coronavirus vaccine, in part because the World Health Organization is involved, a decision that could shape the course of the pandemic and the country’s role in health diplomacy.
                            ...
                            “The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus, but we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China,” said Judd Deere, a spokesman for the White House.
