the most likely failure case here is that the candidate was ineffective and we waste several tens of billions of dollars which is NOTHING NOTHING 250,000 people are dead and we are running a fucking $3,000,000,000,000 deficit

i can tell lots of stories about why we fucked this up so badly but they all boil down to a breathtakingly incompetent or self-interested bureaucracy and awesome failures of leadership and imagination at every level of the political government and civil service

Is 2) distinct from "Pre-purchasing 300mm doses of pretty much every reasonable vaccine back in the spring and summer" and letting the people who made the vaccines do the spin-up? /Where reasonable seems to have been "Passed Phases 1/2"

Obviously, that runs into 4) fairly hard (Nurses should not be dying of COVID right now. Bad vaccines maybe), but if the companies making the vaccines have been full-bore production since July and only have 40mm doses...

The reluctance to run challenge trials is my biggest complaint.

There's a tradeoff between that and long-term effect questions (Also, medium-term immunity questions). And yeah, having to wait for a giant wave was a thing.

literally just pay people to sign a waiver and take the newly tested vaccine the moment you know it doesn't kill medical crash dummies (monkeys). desperate people get a chance at more money, labcoats get results, the fact that this wasn't done is stupid
