It is actually one of the only things that I think the Trump admin has done well. It is well worth buying vaccines before they are approved to speed any expected availability when/if they are approved. Putting army logisticians in charge is a good plan. They know how to get shit done on a massive scale.

It is well worth a watch.

There are massive challenges to overcome but this video gave me confidence that serious people are working on it.
