> I'm not a risk group and have no problems with social distancing so I'm waiting for stuff like this to come out.

Respectfully, I think what you're really waiting for is this thing to blow over so you don't have to take any personal risk. That's likely to be a fail, as you're just a waiting Petri dish for the live virus to infect.

All kinds of things have risk and the craven merchants of doubt are busy spreading FUD about the vaccine. It's really our only way out of this shit show, because waiting around is just prolonging it.

Or would you like to have a long drawn out conversation about the long term health effects of:

* preservatives

* artificial sweeteners

* high fructose corn syrup

* pesticides

* HPV infection

* influenza/rhinovirus infection

* sunburns

* a night of heavy drinking

Because we can absolutely have a long, drawn out, twisting conversation about all those things.
