    Vaccinations are by far the cheapest way to defend against a disease like COVID at scale. You are being disingenuous.

      I think the money spent on the development of the vaccine says otherwise.

      Also, we had to wait for a covid vaccine for a year (or more? Already hazy) while common sense and hygiene were ready to go before the pandemic. We need to prevent those things from happening and slow them down before we know they exist. Waiting around for the next virus thinking that we’ll just make a vaccine might be a real shitty move if its more contagious and deadly than covid.
