Hi Kim,

here is a link to the CDC that documents the H1N1 virus pandemic as it impacted the US.

cdc.gov

The first known case in the US occurred on 4/17/19.

The first vaccine given in the US occurred on 10/5/19 - albeit less than 6 months later.

These people are professional sandbaggers.

They set themselves up to under promise and always over deliver. - with no particular excellence or over achievement along the way.

There is a vibrant competition in the private sector to get the financial reward of many millions to come up with the answer, and the first may not be the best.

The private market will outperform on this task.

Just as the bureaucrat's original estimates were WAY OFF, as they recommended mitigation, so too will be the timeline as documented for the H1N1 virus shows the private sector is alive and well with creating the needed vaccines.

These are bureaucrats that remind me back in the Days of working for GM. When you wanted a software program written, it was 'we'll be able to get to that in months'. When Roger Smith bought EDS from Ross Perot, the world changed fast as those silo'd ivory towers of specialised knowledge collapsed.

That is what government needs to do with a lot of these Deep State departments.

Eliminate them, move over, and let private industry solve the issues with speed and excellence.

We have private business talent and capability.

Why encumber it with government largesse?

Bob
