Ok today or yesterday Dr. Fauci said that we may not get herd immunity if everyone doesn’t take whatever vaccine is developed. That struck me as odd because I thought herd immunity resulted from a significant portion of the population becoming infected and surviving thereby making them incapable of passing on the virus. However I looked it up and it can also result from people becoming immune from a vaccine.

Now here’s the reason for this rant, and it’s once again a FOLLOW THE MONEY issue. Any new vaccine will likely cost a lot of money. For an example, redemsivir which was approved today for the treatment of whu flu costs $2340 for an individual treatment. Hydroxychloroquine costs less than $20 for an individual treatment. Imagine what the cost will be for a new partially effective at best vaccine. Remember flu vaccines are about 60 to 70 percent effective. So my question is how and how much does Fauci stand to make from requiring everyone to get a partially effective vaccine?
