Now that Phizer has shown that they have a 94.1% effective vaccine to treat Covid, the world now waits to receive supplies for their populations. In the U.S President Elect Biden is gung ho that this will be remedy for his constituents and American people. The problem is that the vaccine is 94.1 % effective and not 100% effective. The side effects that will be involved in taking the first vaccine offered is trial by error. A follow up vaccine will probably take a couple of more months to remedy the original vaccines' deficiencies. What I'd like to know is who at Phizer will be responsible if the side effects of the first vaccine cause life long problems for the individual taking the vaccine? Could we see legal ramifications to side effects of the first vaccine offered to the populations' worldwide? Personally I think a couple of months of staying safe for the vaccine that is 98.6% effective (with virtually zero side effects) to being offered is the way to go. Don't be naive into thinking that this isn't big business at work. Keep in mind that the pharmaceutical companies are using the vaccine as a cash cow, and that further research into improving the vaccine will be around for months even after the first vaccine is offered.
Now that the United States is trying to be Covid aware under President Elect Biden the shutting down of the economy was inevitable. With 3000-4000 daily deaths in the U.S it's a scary concept to ignore Covid, as it's viral and could appear anywhere at anytime. What will be telling is how people react to this years' winter months. Are severe flu cases going to be able to be treated by the U.S health system or will the hospitals have to reject flu cases from entering their health care system in prioritizing Covid cases?
