Oh boy putting all your hopes on a vaccine that is not guaranteed to appear within a year. Pretty sneaky 2020 tactics Dems.

Would be very weird if you suddenly reversed your position after Nov 3rd.

Or you know, an effective RNA vaccine...which has never really been done, ever.

Lol that's probably my favorite line:

well, market forced have never demanded one more!

Right, like you retard leftists think you understand capitalism now, and that there wasn't enough profit motive before to solve the RNA virus problem with high efficacy...

The vaccine people are completely ignoring the fact that the Wuhan bat flu is a variant of SARS, and there was never a SARS vaccine. In fact, the potential vaccine that was tested not only didn't prevent against catching the virus, it made people who got it more likely to die. There's no reason to believe this time will be different. It's possible, but far from a guarantee.

Except the dozen of childhood diseases that are RNA viruses?

Fair, meant mRNA vaccines of which most covid candidate are: entirely novel.

Also consider the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of typical flu vaccines (non-mRNA) and the amount of mutation that occurs rendering them at best ~65% effective each year depending on strain probability.

A vaccine is not likely the cure all, and to say normalcy is tied to it is fucking moronic.

They will lift it regardless of who wins because it doesn't matter regardless. If Creepy Joe or his replacement wins, time for economic recovery. If Trump wins, well time for economic recovery to avoid that mid term murder by our angry citizens.

A Biden win will be the worst, because they will credit the economic recovery entirely to him

I don't think the citizens will wait until the midterm
