Something that may have been missed in the reporting about today's hearing with Fauci and friends.

9. Were mass vaccinations discussed at all?

I have a childhood recollection of every student being lined up in the hallway while a nurse with a smallpox vaccine gun went down the line grabbing arm after arm *bzzt* and after a couple of hours the entire school was vaccinated. Lather, rinse, repeat nationwide. Eventually, just about everyone in the US (and the world, thanks to the WHO) during the 1960s & early 1970s got a nifty scar on their upper left arm. It worked. Smallpox is gone.

If a good vaccine is developed, expecting people to trickle into doctor's offices and pay varying fees is silly. The only way to conquer this thing would be to line up everybody and give it a go, paid for with our taxes. This is one of those things taxes are for after all.

Anti-vaxxers can take their chances, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a fair number of them change their tune by the time (if ever) a successful vaccine rolls around.
