    Who do you think will come up with the first vaccine that is actually manufactured and used in volume?
    Why?

    Regardless of who is first, my money is on Chiner! Why? Well I'm taking the leftist stance and because no matter who, even if it the U.S. the left will spin it so that we Americans are never first at anything globally ;)

    Yeah, I think I'm with China too.
    Mainly because they aren't afraid to kill a few people testing.

    My money is on an effective public health campaign which combines the role of the government with effective cooperation with public health industries.

    Not Germany.....they have totally been behind the 8-ball on this. Total lack of leadership. Really sad.

    Israel, us, S. Korea....for all I know China already has the cure, hard to say, all they do is lie, especially about this.

    The large majority will have positive antibodies by the time it comes out, just like H1N1, but they will force vaccination anyway.
    And the people will thank their captors for keeping them safe

    Germany came up with the most effective testing in Europe and it was those test kits that Trump rejected when the WHO offered it to us. Hardly behind the 8-ball as that description applies to US.

    WHO never offered us test kits...this has been repeatedly debunked....more lies and fake news...why do you continue to spread it?

    https://khn.org/news/biden-falsely-...oronavirus-test-kits-that-were-never-offered/

    “No discussions occurred between WHO and CDC about WHO providing COVID-19 tests to the United States,” said WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris. “This is consistent with experience since the United States does not ordinarily rely on WHO for reagents or diagnostic tests because of sufficient domestic capacity.”

    It amazes me how low informed many posters are on the facts around this pandemic

    China. It'll be rushed, dangerous,
    and of questionable efficacy, but they'll pump it into their population anyway, because they can.

    You are correct. However, the confusion is brought about by the horrible way this administration has handled this crisis. There is so much conflicting information that it is indeed hard to keep up.

    So please keep your snide remarks to yourself.

    Bill Gates is donating several billion dollars to help develop 7 different vaccines around the world. The collaboration among international scientists will be vital to any one success, so perhaps we should stop looking for more ways to divide people and focus on working together.

    Exactly! That is why Trump's remarks regarding the WHO are so disconcerting. Trump is setting us up to face this crisis on our own without international cooperation.

    No there is no confusion by the admin. It’s Biden that lied, and the dems they believed his lies and misinformation and continue to spread it

    You are right, unless you don't understand that bad advice and people who are working against you are not really your friends.
    I suggest you consider that.

    Those nice Chinese the WHO spoke so highly of recently took a large quantity of PPE gear that was donated to them by Italy in their time of need but not used , and SOLD it back to Italy in their time of need. The world is full of people who hate success- and our country is no exception. We have rebuilt other nations, fought their wars for them, given trillions of dollars and a great many lives, and in return- got disrespect and abuse. Few of those we have strongly supported recognize it as contribution, but always as obligations.
    Personally, I don't support donating to the ungrateful who take your money and then spit in your hand..... That's more a liberal thing.

    It doesn’t matter to me, but in the last decade China has ramped up remarkably in this market to compete with Western Pharma companies.

    I did. My advice to me was to point out the ludicrous nature of your statement.

    The first vaccine is what the “experts” in the world are telling us to do.
    Wash your hands, I’m knocking on 50 years old and that was the mantra during my childhood in the f’n 1970’s. Wash your f’ hands!
    Social distancing? Back in the 1970’s is was called common F’n courtesy. Stay the F out of my personal space!
    Cover your cough or sneeze, f’n really? That was standard practice in the 1970’s. In fact, if you were to read your bible, it’s full of hygiene laws, right along with don’t F your sister. If people would practice basic hygiene and F’n common sense, we could avoid this bullshit.
