Kudos to all the participants in development and assessment. Not since Jonas Salk has there been such urgency for combating a destructive assault on humans worldwide. AIDS/HIV was a hard fought disease which affected fewer victims, as with influenza and slew of others.
What has been grossly unfair and cruel with Covid-19 is the unforgivable politicization, a senseless battle not yet won among foolhardy diehards resisting PPE, distancing, science, and thereby increasing the harm to others almost as form of merciless ideological warfare.
No need to name the prime culprit for this near-genocide, this autocratic cleansing of vulnerable people without means to end the carnage, instead urged to deny the threat and pay the ultimate price.
It may be too much to expect science to conquer political aggressors, still, its worth imagining there will come a time when that will be possible.
