The biggest untold story of 2020 is that Moderna took just 48 hours in Jan to develop a 95% effective vaccine. It then took 11 months for vaccinations to begin — largely because of huge regulatory burdens. Millions have died as a result. We cannot ever wait this long again.

Common sense isn't that common, Matthew. You know that. For each of us who agree with you, 1,000 will disagree - and aside from shouting you down on the twitter dunghill, they're embedded everywhere in bureaucracy.

Tell me then, oh wise man. Name exactly one piece of 'red tape' that should be removed. Don't speak in generalities! State *specifically* what should be changed. "GO FASTER" is not a concrete suggestion.

So, Matt, if one woman can gestate an embryo to full term in 38 weeks, shouldn’t 38 women be able to do it in one week?

Sounds like the worst pregnancy ever...

In what way did regulation hinder the process in excess of what was necessary to ensure safety and efficacy? 11 months was remarkably fast for the approvals; do you have any basis for suggesting it could have been shorter?

There is no bad faith interpretation, all of these things were considered & implemented to the point that we have a vaccine available to us within this time for *safe* use on human beings. Just because lives were lost doesn't mean it's ok to risk others for an unsafe solution.
