Tell me where you gotten that rose tincted glasses? I love a pair️
Does the USA even have a serviceable vaccine at this point since they have declared operation warp speed but as of now, hardly any results are shown and as far as I know, none of these vaccines are being cross tested overseas meaning that the vaccine is about as trustworthy as the vaccine in Russia

Haha you found me

Honestly, with they way things are right now, no one outside the top worse nations in the world can possibly complain about there situation when they have been shown how to deal with the covid but refuse to learn or adapt. It is especially shameful for India given that there WION channel continues to paint India as a nation that has situation under control even the in reality, they are anything but

As I understand, China will prioritise vaccine for African and Mekong river countries, with some national interest involved of course.

In order words, because China is managing COVID-19 so well internally it may be able to decide who will recover first by vaccine priority. You think the salt is bad now imagine the outcry then when Africans get the vaccine before Americans.

How honest those numbers? Done with strong nudging and intimidation from D?
I'm sure there's plenty of that but given the size of the trend it is also probably true that there's a genuine decrease. That said school is about to reopen across the US so...

The US has two mRNA vaccines in phase 3 trial, they may yet be successful. That said this is new technology and exactly zero mRNA vaccine have ever passed phase 3 trial so far so...

Oxford's adenovirus vector vaccine is probably their best bet at the moment.

Adenovirus vaccines 0% success so far as well.

Only hope is traditional methods.

Yes that's the feeling I'm sensing too. The US getting two mRNA vaccines out first is because they can be developed the fastest, it's a gambit to try to make up for lost ground after China's head start on vaccine back in Jan-Feb while the rest of the world was still asleep at the wheel.

Someone asked Fauci this too, said something like "Sure we now have two vaccine candidates in phase 3 trial, but China also has several candidates in trial and they were produced using slower, traditional methods. How come they're so much quicker and are you worried about China getting the vaccine first."

Fauci said well, they've just been keeping their heads down and working hard at it. And to his credit he also said "I hope their vaccines are successful. This isn't a game between countries, a successful vaccine benefits all mankind."
