Bruce,

I know little about their production capability. The question is, if they move the vaccine into people, and if it's determined to be effective, do they have the capability to generate millions, or tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of doses annually.

As I see it, worldwide the need for Covid-19 vaccines is great. A friend sent me a NY Times article indicating that in reality th e vaccines currently in use are really close to 100% effective, not because you won't get Covid-19 with them, but rather for the 5% that does, it's a mild case.

Even if a vaccine were 50% effective, if the other 50% had mild cases, the threat would be greatly diminished. What I don't know is if on a single dose which is said to be about 50% effective, does the other 50% only get mild cases of the disease. If that were the case, I would think it better to get all that first dose even if it meant the second didn't come for a few months.
