I will go ahead and pass on v1 of that vaccine.
Yeah. I'm very pro vaccines, and I think we absolutely have to have one since there are lots of people, states, and even countries that won't fully open back up without one. But I can't imagine the number of corners that have to get cut to get this done.
I'm in bio pharma. From the day a manufacturing campaign is finished we take 6-9 months to release the product for human use. QA/QC is mind numbing, but we do a damn good job of it because we'd like to not kill the people we are trying to help.
You can speed a lot of things up with more money and more people, but condensing a 10 year process into 7 months would be an achievement on par with the moon landing.
Some managers don't understand that just because it takes 1 woman 9 months to make a baby, you can't take 9 women and make a baby in 1 month...
There's also the subtraction by addition problem. If I'm working my ass off just to keep my head above water and meet my deadlines, many times giving me additional help is DETRIMENTAL. I now have to spend 50% of my time training the new guy.
So, you go from 1 worker at 100% efficiency to 1 worker at 50% efficiency and 1 worker at 0% efficiency...Subtraction by addition...
