When an independent review committee comprised of virologists, vaccinologists, immunologists, and public health epidemiologists that I know of and trust has given the green light, then yes. But, that certainly isn't going to happen under Trump.

'vaccine' before I ever got one.

If there is a Trump vaccine, I don't think it will be dangerous -- I think it will be something like saline with a bit of harmless coloring agent to make it look real. You know, like something a snake oil salesman would sell.

When the clinical research section gets their hands on a vaccine I've applied to get immunized. Of course, they may not pick me for whatever reason. They may also have more than one vaccine available.

possibly widely available by summer according to Dr. Fauci. And since it will probably only be partially effective, it seems likely many higher-risk people will still have to hide from the virus and wait for further developments. My hope is on better treatments cutting the death rates before then.
