    There’s also the money involved. The pharmaceutical corporations pretty much have things rigged so they make huge profit off of any drug to market. Even those that aren’t really that effective. But when it comes to vaccines, that’s a pretty much a guaranteed demand.

      Okay, that took me a minute to decode. To grease some wheels. Voice to text?
