But the chimp is smart enough not to make a career of it.

For sure. No way I’m taking a “rushed” vaccine. That’s for the crazies. I’ll get the cold and go about my day. I’m waiting to see where they move the goal after that.

I seriously doubt anyone will propose an RNA vaccine, unless it's a regime like China where they can just order you to take it. But even then, nobody has scaled production up beyond R&D levels. Going to be quicker with more conventional tech.

RNA vaccines are still in the development/study phase, and will likely be utilized at first only for very fatal conditions like HIV, ebola, and cancer. Eventually, if no side effects are observed, they might become available for widespread use.

But they're not going to cause you to grow a third eye, it doesn't tamper with your genetic material, it's just an added strand to make an antigen to whatever virus/bug/cancer it's treating. Kind of like using a stand-alone GPS in an airplane... it's inside the plane but not connected to the plane's systems, not going to cause a stab trim runaway. The side effect risk would be undesirable immune response, so that's what they have to look for in trials.

Boy, the last thing I want is a run-away Johnson.

True statement.

I had one at one time ... and the energy to keep up with it. No mo.

The fed will stockpile 300 million doses of candidate vaccines (at a cost of hundreds of millions $), making educated guesses as to which of the 100+ in development are most promising. Once one or more vaccines are approved (or determined sufficiently safe and effective) mass deployment can begin immediately.

Yeah, wait till the screaming Karens find out the vaccine is only for Americans, and not third world shart-holes.

third world ****holes don't have nursing homes, or obesity or diabetes or heart disease. Those people are already dead and dont have to worry about Coronavirus.

Looks promising,
