It looks like Trump is trying to get a vaccine as quickly as possible. That would be a good thing. I just hope that in trying to speed up the process, perhaps in time for the election, he doesn’t in fact slow it down.
I am getting the feeling that speeding up development and trials could be a good thing. There will be volunteers eager to seek an advantage. I have a feeling that the lives preserved by rapid development would be greater than those lost by trying imperfect hastily developed products. The ‘do no harm’ usual careful approach may well be replaced by an idea of preventing as much harm as possible.

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
