Sometimes I still sit here and think about how 4 years ago, scientists pulled off a fucking miracle of developing 3 brand new vaccines for a novel virus that had never had a vaccine for it before in like 6 months, scaled it out to produce billions of doses, and then like 40% of the country just said "nah".

@sphealey @JessTheUnstill As someone who developed technology to help refrigerated trucks prove they maintained temperature correctly during their trips, thank you. (Note: to my knowledge, I never helped a COVID delivery; I'm just saying logistics is a bitch and a very unsung one at that)

Don’t forget the manufacturing people, the delivery companies, and the medical/pharmacy people who gave the shots! The international delivery carriers increased their capacity to deliver -40C containers by a factor of 1000 in 3 months of 2020.

@JessTheUnstill Just think of how many illnesses we could eradicate if we chose to put that kind of effort into vaccines and medicines that don't threaten rich countries.
