Is there anything we can do to get covid vaccines faster?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel that the governments are taking too long, and is there anything we the people can do to put more pressure, or turn up the heat so to speak, on getting the government to hurry them out faster?

I don't think so; I'm pretty sure they're doing it as fast as they can without compromising the safety of those vaccines.

.

1)No. There is absolutely nothing we can do.

2)Its already a miracle that governments are moving as fast as they are. All of the experts expected that we would only get to the stage we are at now... a year or more later than now. They are already ahead of expectations.

3) Just stay safe, and practice social distancing, wear a mask, and so forth. That way you yourself can survive long enough to make it until this coming summer when a vaccine might be available. A few more months of this is not gonna kill you. And that way you can help us all survive in greater numbers so we all can make until a vaccine is commonly available. Pretend we are in the London Blitz. Pretend we have Churchill in the Whitehouse instead of a nonleader.

We just gotta fight the virus...on the beaches, on the streets, etc.

They're going as fast as they can, in fact too fast, enough to make me wary of having a rushed vaccine injected into my body. I feel sorry for all the people that had to be the first ones to have it in the UK. Usually rushed projects aren't done properly.

On the other hand, knowing there is an existing vaccine and that they're still working on developing more vaccines, helps me to be more patient and I am more prepared to put up with more lockdowns and restrictions if it will definitely be only a few months rather than a few years or decades or centuries even.
That is, until news reports spring up that shatters all our hopes, like "vaccine will not be effective against new variant" or "vaccines don't appear to be working as protected people are still getting ill from the virus" or "X amount of people have experienced severe side effects from having the vaccine".

Does screaming at the bus driver make you get to your stop faster? I'd imagine we have about as much ability to influence this process as the we do of making the bus driver cover 15 minutes of their route in 8 minutes.

Well it's that it seems only a select few companies are making them in the world. So I thought if they would just send out their formula to everyone, then others can make it too.

To compare to the bus analogy, why aren't places interested in having their own bus companies rather than rely on a select few, far away?

Well wouldn't any pharmacy company be interested in making a covid vaccine, or not really, and only a few are?

I see your point there, but could they hire more people, if a covid vaccine is in high demand, or aren't other vaccines not as important right now compared to covid?

Oh okay, I thought that the more the vaccines the better, and thought that buy the population of the world being so big, that there wouldn't be a chance of overproducing.

They have to manufacture, distribute, and inject ~12-15+ BILLION doses around the world.

Just how fast do you expect it to be done?
