With that said, the world, including pharmaceutical companies and businesses, are scrambling to create a vaccine.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that even though a vaccine hasn’t been proven yet, it’s not going to stop the production of what could be the vaccine.
“We’re going to start manufacturing doses of the vaccines way before we even know that the vaccine works, so that by the end of the year the prediction of the statistical analysis and the projection of cases indicate that we may know whether its effective, efficacious or not by maybe November, December, which means that by that time we hopefully would have close to a 100 million doses,” Fauci said in early June during a live video interview with the Journal of the American Medical Association.
“So it isn’t as if we’re going to make the vaccine show its effective and then have to wait a year to rev up to millions and millions of doses.
In a recent poll among Black American health enthusiasts, over 70% of respondents say they will not take a COVID-19 vaccine if one becomes available.
