With all the money the government has given to the drug companies to develop a vaccine

It should be free to everyone

1. I'd be willing to bet that insurers will cover it, and the government will cover it for uninsured.

It will be free to recipients.

That's assuming there is an effective vaccine. I left out "safe," because I'd also bet trump would support giving everyone a placebo (or inadequately tested vaccine) before November just so he can say he pushed through a vaccine quicker than anyone thought possible.

3. It won't be trump's decision. As bad as things are, I find it hard to believe that they would push

a vaccination through without adequate testing for safety. Efficacy is going to be another issue though, since they may not be able to ascertain just how effective it is depending how many of the volunteers engage in activities that put them at risk.

Are they going to not wear a mask? Half of the subjects will have a placebo, and the other half will have the vaccine, and if it is determined from the testing that the vaccine is only 50% effective, that still means people should take the proper precautions, i.e. social distancing, masks, etc.

In other words, even if a vaccine is somewhat effective, it will take some time to achieve herd immunity

Very complicated

2. Pfizer says the vaccine will be free BUT we'll have to pay $1000 for the delivery system

You have to pay attention to what they say and don't say

4. Yes but whatever the cost it's worth it a million times over
