Extremely. The urgency will help speed the trials and distribution.

Very. It will take thorough research and testing but a year is possible.

Somewhat. But the real key is being able to distribute it to those in need.

Not at all. It's not feasible for an effective vaccine to be ready in a year.

Confidence has nothing to do with it. Either the vaccines are proven safe and effective using accepted scientific testing or they are not. Production and distribution of successful products is another matter entirely.

They came to our school and we had to get the Salk vaccine in the early 1950s. After nationwide tests proved the vaccine effective, It was not an option. We must wait until the tests are complete. Wear the mask!

They've had a flu vaccine for 78 years and we still have flu. Just more BS.

I will not get the vaccine. The effectiveness is doubtful as with the flu vaccine and the dangers of the other ingredients in the vaccine outweigh the possible benefits. The vaccine manufacturers are protected from lawsuits brought by vaccine recipients who are injured by the vaccine per federal law.

This is a silly question. We can only wait and see. Our confidence makes no difference

It is not a silly question. It is testing whether or not we believe Donald Trump when he promises a safe and effective vaccine by election day.

Obviously not many, if any at all, believe him.

Don't care about a vaccine. I won't get it just as I don't get flu shots
