How long before we hear it was pre-paid and the vaccine doesn't work? :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 22, 13:54 8
- Eh, we’ve done this for several vaccine candidates, as long as one of them works, we’re good. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 22, 14:17 7
  - Guess I just don't trust this admin to do *anything* right :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 22, 15:22 1
    - Yeah, I was skeptical when I read about one of the other ones a few weeks ago, but looking into it, the approach makes sense. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jul 22, 15:28
  - More importantly, we don’t want to have to wait until we have a successful one before building out the manufacturing capacity to meet the need for it. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 22, 14:19 4
    - It's the easiest $2 Billion you can spend when you look at what the cost of not having a vaccine is. -- nm - pmb Jul 22, 14:41 3
      - $20 a dose...so they'll charge $2,000 a shot? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 22, 15:04 1
