Not sure why it takes a few months to start the trials, ie review, sample production, etc, but they need to get their ass in gear and start asap. I am curious to know how long it will take for actual production of billions of vaccines after the review is completed.

There is a ton of literature on the subject, but mostly it involves making sure the vaccine is effective at preventing the targeted disease and that it doesn't do more harm than good. Efficacy and safety.

Some vaccine trials have resulted in heightened risk of infection from other pathogens for example. Sometimes it might do unexpected things to the immune system in some populations but not others. There are a ton of things that can go wrong. Trials try to make sure those problems aren't present before they release it to millions or billions of people.

In case ya'll have missed it this morning, there has been trailers rolling across the tv screen on FOX NEWS, OAN, and other national news channels of some potentially game changing news on a possible vaccine out of the Univ. of Pitt that is apparently on a fast track approval to the FDA. In layman terms, the vaccine would be applied in the form of a small patch containing 400 "needles" made from proteins absorbed thru the skin. It has already passed the lab mice test.

Mice share a huge amount of genetic similarities to humans so this is huge. I’ve noticed some people are much more similar to rats though

I understand that and why I said "review" before the trials start. I am talking about the few month delay in starting the trial and then the subsequent delays in production if approved.

There were rumors floating around early suggesting that the reason why Wuhan got hit so hard (which appeared to be much worse than the rest of China) was that a SARS vaccine had been added to their regional flu shot which backfired, reducing their ability to fight COVID. Who knows whether that could even happen, but the abundance of caution that they go to with vaccines suggests there may be a darker side to them.

As completely shizzy as it is, I'm not sure what regulations they would be violating. Private industry sells to the highest margin consumers all the time. Most of the grains grown in Africa go to Europe and elsewhere for higher prices, while millions in Africa starve.

But we'd have to regulate such things first in order to punish. Either individual countries or the UN.

I thought the movie she did with Amy Poehler, "Sisters", would just be silly, but it was actually pretty good. John Cena's character cracked me up too.

Bridesmaids won me over initially, but Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and Baby Mama were solid as well.

Lesson: Tina Fey doesn't take bad scripts.

And then you have her writing Mean Girls. Just very talented all around.
