Great. Now stop hiding behind a Twitter post and get out on a podium and say it to the news channels. And bring some of your high-ranking friends from that side of the aisle.There's one

We'll see what the distribution looks like, but yes. This thread sort of hits the nail on the head:So all of the election nonsense aside...is it okay to say that Operation Warp Speed has been a great program? It sure seems like it.
I don't really care which political party is responsible, but it seems like it has been a very successful partnership between the government and private enterprise.
I can tell you most of that time is spent doing nothing. It's spent submitting funding requests, then resubmitting them, then waiting, then submitting them somewhere else, then getting the money but the company changes it's mind or focus, then renegotiating then submitting ethics, then waiting for regulators then having problems with recruitment and having to open other sites, then dealing with more regulatory issues, then finally when you eventually get to the end of all of this you might have a therapy or not. At this point it may not be deemed profitable or any number of other obstacles.
However we have collectively now shown that with money no object, some clever and highly motivated people, an unlimited pool of altruistic volunteers and sensible regulators that we can do amazing things (necessity being the mother etc). These trials have been nothing short of miraculous, revolutionary but in the context perhaps it is not surprising given our ability to innovate when we REALLY need to...and we really needed to.
They took advantage of a partnership with a Germany company that pretty much already had a vaccine ready to go for a different corona virus. Took the same developmental approach with the new virus and viola... vaccine.To play devil's advocate - how did pfizer seemingly beat moderna without warp speed funding? Oxford seems close as well
That too... it's largely a matter of motivation. And surprise, surprise, a once in a hundred years type of pandemic made people motivated.I assume there's less red tape to go through than normal?
Just to rub it in...this helps to highlight just how poor the two* parties are at governing...However we have collectively now shown that with money no object, some clever and highly motivated people, an unlimited pool of altruistic volunteers and sensible regulators that we can do amazing things (necessity being the mother etc)
It certainly doesn’t seem like it hurt, and has seemed positive, so I’m all for it.So all of the election nonsense aside...is it okay to say that Operation Warp Speed has been a great program? It sure seems like it.
