It seems that, as a society, there is always something to worry about. Even when good news breaks through the din of negativity we still seem to find elements of concern to worry about. Such is the case with the newly created COVID vaccinations being distributed across the country. Created in record time, the two FDA-approved drugs were created and deployed at breathtaking speed. The average time for a new medicine to be developed and approved in the US is over 12 years. The Moderna and Phizer vaccines were developed and approved in under 10 months. That did not give us much time to consider any negatives or consequences that may exist with these new solutions. And it seems that, with over 1,000,000 people receiving vaccinations every day in the country, the time to figure everything out is rapidly passing us by.
