      We have spent the entire fucking year knowing that Covid exists. It was sequenced early on. Apparently one of the vaccines was created at a basic level in February. Here is what the government should have done, if they assigned even a small probability to the candidate's utility

      1. spun up human safety tests. i do not know what is involved with this but they should have moved quickly. 2. simultaneously moved to massive production of the candidate and creation of a distribution network, while waiting for the results of the safety tests

      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
