Thanks quid,

If the vaccine cannot be used next year then giving it away would go a long way to getting some real world experience in how the drug works. Drug companies do testing that costs hundreds of millions.

Here they can do a test on 4 million lives at NO COST.*

They would need some bold executives to try something like this. I don't expect it. :-)

* I say no cost since the expense of creating the vaccine is the major cost and it is a sunk-cost already. Sure there may be some incremental delivery costs. But the publicity alone would be worth that.
