vaccines take on average 10 years to make and it takes 20 years out in the field to know for certain if it's safe
would you take a vaccine made in a couple of months (most likely rushed too) with shady results?
They were 80% of the way with the prior coronavirus (SARS), but the investments stopped since the virus went away on its own...

There's a 100+ 'working' vaccines in 6 months... 17 in human trials, some of them about to go in phase 3. Hell this dude on CNN said once China released the genetic sequence, 6 hours later they already had it. This ain't the AIDS virus it's easy work for these scientists.

The majority of deaths from COVID are white google cdc provisional deaths by race


Long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put some members of racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting COVID-19 or experiencing severe illness, regardless of age. Among some racial and ethnic minority groups, including non-Hispanic black persons, Hispanics and Latinos, and American Indians/Alaska Natives, evidence points to higher rates of hospitalization or death from COVID-19 than among non-Hispanic white persons. As of June 12, 2020, age-adjusted hospitalization rates are highest among non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native and non-Hispanic black persons, followed by Hispanic or Latino persons.

And I swear many posters can't read because the quote from Gates isn't "Black people should be first....", but, "Black people should be AMONG the first.....", meaning ALL the groups being hardest hit should get first dibs.​

Actually he said front liners first, as in doctors and nurses. then after that black and natives as they are a group hit the hardest. then old people.

Would you prefer blacks be last to get the vaccine?

When doctors and nurses go first, I'll asset how their health looks. If they appear to have taken the vaccine well, and are immune, I'll move accordingly.

If they get sick and die. I simply won't take it. It's really not that complicated.

Obviously no one should be dying since in order for this to even hit the market it had to have passed human clinical trials. Those are the real heros, because they risked their lives to be tested on without any guarantee of survival.
