      Seems both sides of the presidential race want to outbid each other to show how tough on Beijing they are. No doubt China deserves criticism, but what is the plan if/when China develops a vaccine before the U.S. does?

      It’s possible but a. Is is likely? Not extremely so, seeing as the US produces an overwhelming plurality of the world’s medical R&D (44%) & we collaborate more than China and b. Would we trust any supposed vaccine endorsed by the CCP? Probably not

      They had a head start and they actually have a pretty good scientific complex for this sort of thing at this point

      China also has the productive capacity to mass produce vaccines and other medicine on the scale which the world needs. Decoupling might make sense in long run but not during a pandemic.

          Their leading vaccine uses a potentially really problematic platform. I’d guess, could be wrong obv, that the first good vaccine will come from the US but we are not capable of producing billions of doses. Will need to license production abroad.

          There’s a non-trivial chance this will be a partisan issue this fall, with Biden saying yes to Chinese vaccine, Trump saying no, wait for US version. Will Biden insist on FDA clearance? Will he give to our first responders and military without testing? The rebate we deserve.
