Not in my lifetime, that's for sure.

It does raise the question of how agile do healthcare innovation standards need to be? What regulations need to be automatically lifted in times of pandemics?

There is no such thing as a 100% safe vaccine.

The vaccine should be rolled out if that is the only problem.
