From what I understand, and I don't know much about it, this was intended to be a 'cheap' vaccine, so a cash grab seems unlikely. Given that the elderly are most at risk, and the risk of blood clots is mostly in younger people, it seems that it can serve a useful function - regardless of its limitations.
At least you realize it when your ideas are tinfoil according to others.
Now this is the kind of comment I like. Mocking, not hateful.
Scare quotes? What is it then?
Thanks, sometimes I have a decent line.
It's a hematologist's wet dream, because it'll keep them in business for the next century.
I mean why it was developed. If vaccine is in scare quotes, then does it not protect against COVID?
IIRC, it's extremely ineffective against most variants. Especially P.1 Brazil variant and South African variant B.1.1.3(?)
My most sane answer to your question is that it's a cynical cash grab, while my actual belief is pretty far in the tinfoil.
