IMO that's a good thing. I would never take it. There is less possibility that this vaccine will not "pass" its initial tests and be released than there is that a TMO-sponsored "scientific study" will report negatives. Having now "pre-marketed" it by announcing before it's been tested, the company has established a perceived need in the public for the vaccine. The public is clamoring for the vaccine. Therefore it will be released. But that was the story for the hastily-invented vaccines given to American troops headed to Iraq and Afghanistan, too. The need is NOW...fuck the testing, fuck the research...just get the drug out the door and into receiving arms. And that has turned out very badly indeed for a lot of servicemen and contractors who got more shot into their arms than they bargained for. I'm always suspicious when a new "We've gotta have it" drug is rushed to market *at the same time* a concerted scare campaign pushing the need for the drug is being conducted in the media.
