One of the pioneers in the field that made a major breakthrough in one of the components that had a phenomenal impact on efficacy told my team a new vax for this virus if it should have major mutation can be developed in as little as 6 weeks now. Of course mass production and distribution factor in. That’s the beauty of the tech. And, it’s mechanism is well understood. It’s really remarkable.
This wasn’t developed yesterday. Of course pandemics don’t come around every day. Good thing folks in the field don’t wait and have been thinking and preparing for this for a long time. To quote a great man, “who knew?” Lots of people knew and have been preparing for such an occasion for some time. Good thing.
Much like preparing for war, being prepared doesn’t guarantee quick victory but being unprepared or having weak or poor leadership can pretty much guarantee a longer war or certain defeat. Unfortunately much of the war planning that I had first hand experience and contribution to was tossed aside because of politics. Anything that occurred previously in any other administration Republican or Democrat was bad. Never seen anything like it. While the planning was ignored and actively knee capped by the admin parts were repackaged and sold as their own so all wasn’t lost with the exception of time and impact.
And the misinformation continues. It’s frustrating.

I guess you had more intel than the great Dr. Fauci himself. He of the ever present smirk whenever Trump claimed the vaccine would be here before year's end.
How prophetic it happened in the year 2020.
Because hindsight is your greatest asset.
Sure, I'm not on the insider's club like you are. With your "pioneer" friend list.
But I know what went down during this pandemic. You're so caught up in how it played out, how the models were accurate, how you are closer to this issue than all us peons, that you fail to see what's in front of your face.
You didn't chime in last July and say that a vaccine was a mere 6 weeks from development. No. You waited until it was accomplished and then claimed you knew all along.
Bucky asked a very simple question.
You've tried to belittle him and have done everything but answer it.
The mRNA technology is astounding. We're safer because of it.
But we don't know long term effects on humans. Because we are the test subjects.
If this isn't true then I'm happy to learn otherwise.
