"Based on everything we know... this has not been sufficiently tested," he added. "It's not about being first somehow - it's about having a safe vaccine."

well, tell that to the clear-minded 85 year-old diabetic that just inherited her only daughter's grandkids, as she succumbed to it herself in her 60s.

that's a little over the top....

but, you get the point. there's lots and lots of people that will very rationally choose an experimental vaccine, after a cost-benefit analysis.

this is the real world, where people have no choice but to live in risk.

i think that if people are willing to take the risk, they should be allowed to assume it; it's their body, so it's their choice.
