Who will produce the first mass Covid vaccine?
 

Who's going to be the first to mass market in the USA? Cast your public vote in the poll. Here are the rules to determine the winner.

1. We're the USA. We don't care if the Chinese or Russians or North Koreans stick stuff in their people. Only the USA counts.

2. It'll be hard to get exact figures, but as a general rule let's count the winner as the first organization that gets vaccinations inside the bodies of 25 million Americans in at least 25 different states.

I'll include what I think are the leading contenders in the poll, and you can read about them here, as of August 16th, 2020:

Personally, I think it's a two-horse race between Astrazeneca and Moderna. They both seemed to get off to a fast start. The stock market seems to like Novavax's chances, so maybe they're in the mix, too, but it seems like they started out a bit behind.

I think the Russian one is nothing more than a premature Phase 3 testing on an unwilling population, so it'll be behind on approvals, and I don't see a Chinese vaccine having any chance for approval in the USA unless there's no other choice.

The North Korean one makes me laugh. They're claiming to be working on it, but they also claim that there are no Covid cases in North Korea so they can't test it. You know they'll come up with some sort of ginseng kimchii pill eight years from now.

Rushed vaccines scare me.

Im in the final testing stages of a all new Body Mask.

We're working on two versions. The Pull UP & Zip Up body mask and a Spray On body mask.

Brett Veach. Did you see how he saved our cap after it suffered from the Dorsonavirus?

IBIO

What, no antifreeze option?

That's the North Korean option. It looks like you're first in line.

Im pretty certain that it'll be me. I just need to go get a few people Covid19 to come to my place and chill. I just bought $5000 worth of Essential Oils. I have a cup worth of every type of oil out there. I'll have the infected person drink a mixture of certain ones. Essential Oils can cure mild pain, depression, cancer, and gayness. Surely one or a mixture of several can cure Coronavid19

Whatever company can convince dumb American antivaxxers to take it IMO

My wife and I were chatting the other day, and she expressed concern that antivaxxers would ruin the effectiveness of vaccines. My response was that I don't care that much as long as I'm vaccinated. If people enjoy getting sick, and they only infect other people who enjoy getting sick, then the only downside for me is hearing their annoying coughing and dying when I'm out on the town.

She did bring up the good point, though, that if people have permanent medical issues as a result, they could drag down the economy. I guess that's a good point.

If it comes from China it will have been accomplished with stolen U.S. research. At the least that should put an asterisk next to their name in the record book.

IBIO!

China already had a vaccine before they unleashed the virus on the world. It's part of their 100 year plan.
