In terms of efficacy, availability, or distribution, part of me feels we’re being led by the nose at the behest of the market and 4th quarter earnings. It’s also no surprise they waited to sit on the news until immediately after Biden had clinched the election.
It's clear no one knows what's going on, and it just feels like more hot air. Something just doesn’t sit right.
I also don't see any escape from the reality that the only way we can cope long-term with viruses is implementing mandatory testing and a global public health database.
cope post -- the vaccine will do fine for most people (those who society/the market cares about), and everyone will do their best to forget what happened, and no lessons will be learned.
