gollark: Seems more like a publicity stunt than anything useful.
gollark: As far as I'm aware, it has not been remotely rigorously tested and has only gone through two months of human trials.
gollark: … maybe? Even if they have a working, safe and effective vaccine, which seems somewhat dubious given that there are still lots of trials going on here, it'll still take a while for production and distribution.

gollark: There are lots of factors which could make it go either way. I don't really know how to balance them.
