This whole pandemic effort has become too political. 185K dead Americans. Sputnik 5 released without clinical trials, it's currently not in use, a political stunt by Putin. Someone might try to pull the same thing off before the election. Truth, which is hard to find, is that production of any vaccine won't be before mid 2021. The effort should be to minimize infections and deaths until that time, with social distancing, testing and tracing with isolation measures. Instead this government has been trying to slow down testing to minimize cases that show up on data. We're in deep trouble with regards to Covid-19.
