an effective vaccine would have been delayed by maybe 3-6 months, which isn't too bad. You realize such a delay would mean many more people would die not to me

You realize such a delay would mean many more people would die not to mention the overall damage to society from lockdowns? I can’t understand how that would possibly be not “too bad.”
- simpleguitar 6y agoSorry, my "not too bad" comment was based on the initial estimate for the vaccine, which was 18-24 months from the start of the pandemic. That would have been July or Dec 2021. Science really came through this time. We not only had a new vaccine platform that arrived just in time (mRNA), but our conventional vaccine development was also able to get a good vaccine out much sooner than scientists originally thought.
