I find it hard to believe that Red China has beaten the virus already. They lied about it in the beginning, so why should I believe them now? Of course Americans are also capable of lying, or so I have been told.
When I said that I didn't know how to stop the virus, I was not the mechanic, I was the guy taking his truck to the mechanic. I wouldn't be there if I could fix it myself. In real life, I recently took my chainsaw to the new Ace Hardware because I couldn't get it started. He kept it about a month, and then called me to tell me that he couldn't fix it. He didn't charge me a cent. The politicians and scientists working on this COVID thing get paid every day, whether they ever solve the problem or not. We might get better results from those guys if we put them on piecework. That said, one thing I did learn from the article is that developing a vaccine for a new virus like this is way more complicated than I thought. I assumed all they had to do was culture some viruses, kill them, and pack them in bottles with some water to make them injectable.
When I said I was in no hurry to get the vaccine, I didn't mean that I doubted its safety or effectiveness. All I meant was that I don't want to stand in line for who knows how long just to secure a place in another line. If they ever get it so I can just walk into Walgreen's and get vaccinated, I intend to do just that. As it is now, our local health department has cancelled three out of the four vaccination events they had scheduled because they can't get enough vaccine. All those appointments will have to be rescheduled if and when an adequate supply of vaccine arrives. I am not interested in getting into a line that is moving backwards.
