Well, no responsible medical organization (which is to say none working specifically on a "product" for Trump, Boris, Modi or any of these FUCKS to take credit for) will put out a half-assed vaccine that hasn't been properly tested, with the side effects clearly stated "right there on the label". If the first safe one works only 60% of the time and gives you strong headaches for a week, hell, give it to me ASAP, what the fuck is there to wait for.
Now, HUGE caveat: access to the vaccine is the next real problem. Right now just getting a damn test is difficult - imagine what it will be like to get something that will protect you against the mother(fucker) of all pandemics. The World Health Organization is under attack: will there be enough international coordination so there is enough of it and all countries can receive it? Will countries have to BUY IT, will YOU have to buy it at big pharma prices? Will your insurance cover it? Will the uninsured be completely fucked? (Immediate yes to that question.) Will countries outside the "developed" world depend on Bill Gates and NGOs to fly in and save their people?
