   @HelenBranswell I guess the difference here is that they actually are going into production of doses and with a strain which is actually relevant to currently circulating virus.

     I'm still waiting on anyone to say "This has the clear possibility of being a high consequence H2H pandemic, and one which would likely spread widely throughout the world well before we could manufacture enough doses to inoculate meaningful percentages of the population. Given the present available data, we've decided to hedge against a potentially disastrous scenario and just start manufacturing vaccine at scale now."

     @HelenBranswell You look at all the weird cold war scenarios the US spent gadzooks amount of money on, but when it comes to a virus, they can't bring themselves to throw down some cash, even when it might save millions of lives?
