I don't want to fucking hear any shit about how what we're going through in the US was inevitable and the quarantine/containment strategy was an impossible dream I have relatives in Taiwan who are going to work at the office, going out to eat, hanging out in bars

They shouldn't even have been talking about a vaccine It led us directly down this horrible garden path, along with the incredibly irresponsible hoaxmongering about hydroxychloroquine

The idea of a "cure" or of "herd immunity" being like "Well if I really floor it, maybe I can drive all the way *through* the lake and out the other side" Maybe, or maybe your engine's electrical system will short out and you'll drown You don't even know how deep the lake is

We had ONE KNOWN PATH, one surefire way to NOT be in the situation we were in now, one way to hit the brakes, jerk the steering wheel around and drive in another direction, and we fucking squandered it

They made a vaccine for one of them (I think it was SARS-1) that was successfully tested on animals but never went on to human trials, presumably cause the outbreak had pretty much died out already

Was just about to say this. We need to aggressively quarantine *and* not spread misinformation. A MERS vaccine was also in the works, but it fizzled. We're not going in to make this vaccine blind, and it *will* be safe because every single scientist working on it values safety.

Because they locked down anyone with them and didn’t let them get out of control.

Thank you for saying this!! I’ve been trying to tell people this from the beginning (and the reason why is scary, any vaccines they trialed actual caused worsening symptoms and increased mortality when challenged with the virus)

They weren't like "oh well," you can't test how effective a vaccine is if the infection isn't there to catch anymore.
