It's alarming how this isn't a major story in the news right now. State officials are freaking out because they do not have enough funds or resources to distribute the covid vaccine. No one has any idea how the federal government is planning on distributing it because right now Trump is refusing to brief anyone outside his team on the plans.

The vaccine is to be ready for distribution by the end of December and most states still have no idea how or when it will be distributed.

If you don't work in healthcare or a top federal government employee you will most likely not be seeing the vaccine until summer/fall 2021

i tested myself at a walgreens drive thru so i don't have much hope.

Trump gonna hold it hostage

You think Americans about to actually take a vaccine? I haven't come in contact with one person who's pro vaccination yet. People dumb af.

People gonna be throwing blows on the street corners for it like it's the new jordans on black friday

'The vaccine is to be ready for distribution by the end of December'

Well Trump is leaving January so.

the vaccine wont be available for everyone in december tho

by april-may it will be

well thats another challenge. 60% of Americans during a recent poll said they will not take the covid vaccine.

it makes sense when you realize 70m people voted for Trump in the last election

The absolute scenes when a vaccine drops and we realize there are multiple types of covid and mfers still dropping like flies

well all those people who refuse the vaccine aren't trump voters, just people skeptical of a rushed vaccine

i am in no way anti vax, and i do have my vaccinations up to date, but i am not in a rush to take the COVID vaccine.

i believe the development of it was potentially shoddy and rushed, and i would like to wait and see potential side effects of taking it (if any)

Multiple types of covid? There's only one type

this too, the flu vax doesn’t even protect against all flus, they predict which flu will be the most dominate that season, then distribute that particular flus vaccine

This thread makes me depressed

Half of y’all don’t even want it

You can apparently get it more than once. And I thought there was no immunity. So they're saying this vaccine makes you immune to it?

What the f*** are you f***ing serious? This is stupid and I wish covid would just go away once and for all. This is infuriating now that we can't go back to a normal life anytime soon

Fuuuuuuuuck

I think anti-vaxxers are complete idiots but anyone wary of this vaccine I get. Gonna wait a little after it drops and see what people say abt side effects. Feel like something dropping that works this quickly is too good to be true without any problems

F*** minks

Maybe if everyone quit f***ing with animals and eating them we could prevent something like this happening again

You know...since nearly every major disease from the past 100 years has jumped from animals to humans because we can't stop eating them...it's an idea anyway

Enjoy your bacon tho I guess

mutation =/= typing.

different types come out when significant alterations to their genomes are found. potential mutations from cases like the one in Denmark always occur randomly. some mutations may even aid us in slowing down the pandemic.

for anyone who didn't know

Moderna vaccine cost: $50-60 x 2 doses
Pfizer vaccine cost: $42 x 2 doses

Oxford vaccine in Europe: $3 USD x 2 doses
