What If China Gets the Covid-19 Vaccine First?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

David Fidler has a nightmare scenario: In three months, China announces one of its Covid-19 vaccines has successfully completed Phase III trials. The World Health Organization is enthusiastic. Beijing doles out doses to countries in Latin America and Africa and those with claims to the South China Sea.

The United States is nowhere to be found.

“If China wins the race, exploits that advantage and we don’t have anything equivalent yet, what do we do?” he asks. “That to me is what concerns me the most.”

Fidler, an expert on global health and national security who has consulted for the WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, isn’t the only one pondering what could go wrong in the next few months, as great powers race to be first to get their hands on the Covid-19 vaccine.

With the idiot we have in charge now that's a distinct possibility.

1. Would we trust a China vaccine any more than a Putin one?

Asking for a friend.

2. It's not so much we but other countries

If China develops a successful vaccine and shares it with other nations they can claim the power and influence the U.S. once had before the corpulent creep occupied the Whitehouse.

4. A Covid-19 vaccine

There are a number of vaccines in Phase III trials - using different vaccine models - more than one can and probably prove to be effective, at least in the short term.

5. They had a head start. You would think they would have one by now

or at least be close. I would not trust anything fro China, Russia or even the United States now because of Trump. He has corrupted the CDCso I don’t even believe them anymore.
