This isn't a failure. This is the quickest vaccine rollout ever. The way you do statistics for this means that the overkill speeds up how quickly you can verify effectiveness. For example, if you do a booster after 6 months, that adds 6 months to your study time. If you try to thread the needle to make the smallest possible vaccine, you need way more testing to prove it works. The approach taken is why we have 10% of the US vaccinated now instead of having a vaccine approved in 2 years.

> This isn't a failure. This is the quickest vaccine rollout ever Tell that the to the 400,000 dead, buddy. They made the vaccine in January 2020. GOVERNMENT rules mean I STILL have not gotten it well over a year later. My NINETY year old Grandma doesn't have it yet. Nice effort though. How does that leather boot taste?

    Flame war? lol. Just because I lay down truth bombs that make you uncomfortable doesn’t make it a flame war. There is no name calling. I added emphasis to a few words. You don’t know me. I was not hot under the collar. I am now. So, please ban me fuck face. I won’t be coming here again anyway. This site is going to shit anyway. I know you get your jollies off being the dictators around here. I hope you enjoy your small pointless life.
