Many companies around the planet are working on vaccines, and eventually one will be approved in the U.S. and released without rational controversy. By then I expect by far most people to be eager to get it and understandably uncomfortable about having to continue unprotected until it's available to them.

Arguing semantics is an admission to loss. The admin is approving a vaccine and that's bad enough
