    Wait… so you’re saying scientific research into vaccines shouldn’t explore multiple avenues in case one is more effective than the others? Something you can’t do without funding?

      Oh it should, but maybe under one organization, so we do not end up with one corporation undermining the effectiveness of the other simply for more profit.

        Okay, but that’s just not how things work right now. That’s wishful thinking. Right now, the government funds private research. I don’t like it either, but that’s the way we will get future COVID vaccines.
