I mean, all joking aside, what you say is true. Front line workers, the immunochalleneged, and ALF/SNF residents will get it first, followed closely by those with means.
Little Joey-Walk-Down-The-Street will not have access to it for months absent an FDR New Deal-esque socialist rollout of the War Powers Production Act.

the CDC is explicit in saying they have no guarantee that there will be a vaccine, but late Oct/early Nov is the earliest one could emerge if all goes perfectly (and/or the white house gets involved and provides regulatory waivers). better to get a plan in place now on the small chance it actually happens, as opposed to being caught with your pants down (with your sleeve up?).
personally, i think this is a pure political stunt. i doubt we'll even have the manufacturing infrastructure in place to produce millions of doses of a vaccine.
we don't even have enough vials to package a vaccine in.

I'd wait until right before any flights i might be taking…earliest possibility is April but more likely late June and/or August.
I feel like I won't be doing anything else that is very risky any time soon and even the flying would be optional.
Vaccines typically take several weeks before they're actually effective.

in the documentary, I saw on this…
https://imlegend.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline
patients start to experience rabies like symptoms which made them go berserk and bite anyone within reach which caused the infection to spread, shortly after the virus went airborne with a new strain that had a 90% mortality rate, 1% remained the same but the remaining 9% became strong killing machines that fed on the 1% of remaining humans. .

Mass release of the vaccine. Mass. As in mass. You know, mass. 2 days before the election, mass. Now, that's mass.
You do understand 100 million doses in the first 3 months would definitely constitute "mass" and yet it would leave like 230 million people not vaccinated, right?

I heard they are mass producing the vaccines now, before we even know if they're effective, just in case.

I agree, though not having cable and the fact that the Nats are sucking makes it much easler.

The virtual Princess Bride script table read and Q&A was a fun way to spend an evening. With any virtual event there were glitches, but over all easily overlooked. A couple of the best moments happened in the Q&A…
Carol Kane, asked by Cary Elwes what kind of person President Trump is, and she gave the best response
“LIIIIIAAAAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!"

and this exchange
"How did Miracle Max get fired from the castle by Humperdinck?" -
@pattonoswalt
"He wrote a book…he told about how Humperdinck lied about the plague" -

Can AXS even handle the onslaught of ticket purchases right now?
