I agree with the other commenters that Operation Warp Speed was a pretty spectacular success. I just happened to focus on something specific - I really didn't mean for this comment to be some kind of anti-thesis to Operation Warp Speed. I very naively thought people were just upvoting something historically interesting. Seriously, does everything have to be political? :( ... The painting at the top of the article (https://americanaffairsjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Jenner-Vaccine.jpg https://americanaffairsjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/0...) shows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Jenner jabbing a child with a vaccine. Edward Jenner, FRS FRCPE (17 May 1749 – 26 January 1823) was a British physician and scientist who pioneered the concept of vaccines including creating the smallpox vaccine, the world's first ever vaccine. The terms vaccine and vaccination are derived from Variolae vaccinae ('smallpox of the cow'), the term devised by Jenner to denote cowpox. [...] In the West, Jenner is often called "the father of immunology", and his work is said to have "saved more lives than the work of any other human".
