In Vino Veritas
Do remember, even after the vaccine is released and circulating, masks and social distancing will still be required for a few months.
 
Vaccines, especially new ones, rarely maintain their in-lab efficacy rate once released to the wider public. The final product will likely be in the 50 to 80% range, meaning a percentage of the population will still be vulnerable. Which could include you if you get vaxed and unlucky.
 
It will also take time for the immunity to reach critical mass in a p population. But that time is greatly decreased if people keep wearing masks and distancing after the vaccine effort is ramped up.
 
This fight is far from over.

STOP KOSA!
My job does a daily symptom check call before we start working.
 
Usually at 6 am when I’m asleep. 😒
 
Thanks a lot Covid 19…
 
But ever since last Friday, I haven’t been receiving that call and so far today I still haven’t gotten one.
 
Don’t know what’s going on there but man, at least I didn’t get a rude awakening today.

Assuming we ever actually make it to a critical mass point. It’s not hard to imagine the vaccine finally becoming available and a wide array of Americans not getting it, either because they’re wary of using anything developed under the Trump administration (which, given the level of incompetence and mismanagement and unnecessary pollicization of scientific agencies it fostered, is a difficult sentiment to disagree with), or because they’re on the other side politically and think they don’t need a vaccination because the news they listen to keeps telling them it isn’t actually as bad and terrifying as it actually is.
 
Not to mention the select group of conspiracy nuts who are convinced the entire pandemic was orchestrated so President Biden and Bill Gates could inject them with tracking chips or liquid socialism or something.

It’s still a very easy sentiment to disagree with. Trump isn’t down in a lab making the vaccine. Anyone that questions the vaccine based on Trump is just as much of an idiot as someone who questions it based on conspiracy theories.

Trump however may well be responsible for rushing a vaccine through without proper testing or safety checks. I wouldn’t trust anything developed under a Trump directive regardless of how talented and well meaning the scientists, researches, engineers, etc. working on the actual product are, because Trump and his army of uneducated sycophants will cut every corner possible to ensure Trump gets the credit and his precious ego-boost, no matter the cost to the plebes.

You are correct to certain extent. However, giving the fact that there’s only 1.5 months left on Trump’s regime, I don’t think he will make much impact on the vaccine’s effectiveness. Also, average Americans may be stupid, but American medical researchers are some of the best in the world. And I believe they will meet the international standard just fine.

After all, principally, science has no border. Most of the research project nowadays including vaccines are done globally, with the collaboration of elites from all over the world.

Most Americans are “average Americans” just like most Brits are average Brits, most Australians are average Australians, most Canadians are average Canadians, you get the idea.

At least the data suggests so. It doesn’t necessarily mean the virus is originated in Italy, but it means the virus could be spreading in Italy since September, or earlier.
