Just curious... Let's say a COVID vaccine is available this winter, would you take something that was "fast-tracked" by researchers?
Personally, I wouldn't. Let others be guinea pigs. I'll wait until later next year... then maybe.

I would be very reluctant.
Dr Fauci was asked about vaccines recently and he said that a vaccine typically takes seven years to develop but some can be made in 18 months.
As him how long his AIDS vaccine has been in the pipeline?
It also needs to be pointed out that if the vaccine works it will typically only prevent half the vaccinated people from getting the virus. The other half will still get it in spite of the vaccination. Vaccinations are typically only 40%-60% effective.
The other issue is that many strains of this virus have already been discovered. Any vaccine will only fend off those that it was set up to affect. The newer ones will not be affected.
My belief is that the driving force behind the vaccine idea is based more on Bill Gates expecting to make $200 billion from it then it is on actually making people immune.

But Trump said HE fast tracked it and accused scientists of dragging their feet because of the election. I guess I am confused is Trump a liar or are you?

Considering I'm damned if i get it anyways, the vaccine won't be any worse. I waited on Chicken Pox and GARDASIL years before my kids got them. But I really don't have that luxury in this case.
