People are reliving their teen protest years. Unfortunately, the protest voices are amplified by social media. With respect to rapid vaccine development, this technology has been around in various forms for about 15 years. Now, we can roll out safe vaccines very rapidly. In about 48 hours after the COVID sequence was released a vaccine candidate was available for testing. We don't need months to years of fussing with chicken cultures and such. If the virus mutates, a simple adjustment can be ready for testing rapidly. I know a person who contracted COVID before vaccines were generally available. She was not very sick and did not require hospitalization, but she still does not have any sense of taste.
