What do you mean by "the good money?" When I think of supposedly savvy investors backing biotech, I think Theranos.

Your justification is the name itself, and the data that OP is questioning. I don't know if it's a good vaccine or not, but I don't find this convincing. And after the Russian government went to such ridiculous lengths to cheat during the Olympics, I think it's fair to question their data.
- franklyt 6y agoAlrighty. You’re entitled to a contrary opinion. Not much to add beyond that. All we can do is see how this shakes out.
- Judgmentality 6y agoI was genuinely asking. What is "the good money" because I truly have no idea what you mean. I also don't understand why the name is relevant. At least in the US, things with patriotic names - aka the Patriot Act - are almost always obvious propaganda attempts.
- franklyt 6y agoCan’t say I’m too much into internet arguments. It was a turn of phrase. The good money is a good bet, i.e. I think a tenable and wise position would be to believe what I do, but understand if you do not and recognize my own propensity to be wrong. As for the name, I felt immediately that it was significant because I knew Russia wouldn’t stake so much national pride on it if it was a dud. Indeed, the evidence coming in seems to suggest that it isn’t, so I feel doubly confident in that assessment. That’s all.
- Judgmentality 6y agoFair. I was antagonistic. Thank you for the reply.
