"Clinical trials for a potential corona virus vaccine began yesterday!"
Phase 1 - 45 subjects, who will be injected again in a month and tested to see if the vaccine does what it's supposed to do. And then we move to Phase 2, and Phase 3, and Phase 4. A vaccine is still at least a year out, maybe more.
Socialized medicine has nothing to do with it - this is R&D done by private companies, not the actual provision of medical services. And the companies doing the R&D often get grants from the government, which if you want to be accurate could be called "socialism". |
