It will be very difficult to vaccinate the whole country. We don’t have resources to manufacture that many vaccines even if patent restrictions were shed. In terms of vaccine the best hope is cooperating with Russia and China.

So people are asking for vaccines but we don’t even know if it is the silver bullet to this problem. For polio, for example, an orally administered vaccine is almost 100% certain to prevent the onset of disease and the vaccine is easy to store so door to door distribution is possible. With covid we have been hearing of double/triple mutations, UK strain, South African strain etc. within two years. From what I hear vaccines are effective for something like eight months. People get reinfected as well after already having contracted covid. So if vaccines are THE solution they will have to be administered on almost a yearly basis… This tells me that it is not feasible to completely curb the disease by the means of vaccine alone. I think vaccine distribution should still be a high priority, but to reduce the causality rate and the burden on healthcare systems.

This whole thing has the air of trying to manage covid within the bounds of the preexisting political system and it’s bound to fail.

I want to emphasise that the things I said about vaccine are my opinions. Don’t take them for facts. Correct me if I am wrong.
