Coronavirus – Covid Vaccine: Emergency authorization for a coronavirus vaccine may come as soon as next month. Then it’s up to states and cities to inoculate and track as many as 20 million people by year’s end.
That could be a problem.
State and local officials say they are billions of dollars short of what will be needed to carry out the federal government’s complex plans. Congress has allocated $10 billion for drug companies to develop a coronavirus vaccine, but localities have received only a fraction of that amount for training, record-keeping and other costs for vaccinating citizens.

So someone has to pay for the purchase of and distribution of this “new vaccine” and that won’t have anything to do with the $10 billion above, which has not been distrubuted as was originally planned – Trump is sitting on it right?
Then you have to remember that politicians are good at making promises but never backing them up with anything solid afterwards.
The politicians have been promising a vaccine for the last 6 months, bearing in mind they have been looking for one since 1974, for Covid, so don’t hold your hopes out for anything just yet – and to pass Laws for distribution, the earliest time could be 2022 and at the rate of deaths going up daily, how long do you think a vaccine is likely to arrive, or be able for you to use, or be able to afford, any time soon – not counting distribution and purchase costs which someone has to pay for, for the pharmaceutical companies to provide it in the first place.
Have to hope Trump is still sticking his foot in – then you won’t get any vaccine, because Trump believes in the herd principal, that if enough get Coronavirus, eventually it will die out naturally by itself, except for him of course – he got a antidote for Coronavirus and Covid, but have you noticed how many of his party officials are getting Coronavirus in the White house – I’m betting Trump is responsible for much of that, because curing Covid in the body, does not cure Coronavirus in the head. Trump is probably a human aerosol.
