That's the game. But it's not just creating the vaccine. It's making enough vaccine. There is no excess capacity for vaccine distribution. There is nowhere near enough syringes and vials being made. The system has no excess capacity. Those kinds of manufacturing facilities do not pop up overnight.
While death is often a tragedy for those who are close to the deceased it's worth bearing in mind that people die. It's what we are supposed to do.
As of yesterday, in the USA, 567 people per population million have died with Covid 19 detected in their bodies (even this may not be accurate and an overstatement) This works out at 0.0557% per million people!
50% of your per million population dying....serious problem, panic permitted.
10% of your per million population dying....not clever but hardly extermination of the species.
1% of your per million population dying....happens all the time, not worth more than a short column in the obituaries.
0.1% of your per million population dying....
0.05% of your population per million dying....give trillions to big business, lock sections of your population down. Create massive unemployment and scare everyone into wearing a burka!
Something has gone horribly wrong. Science and politics have shaken hands and one of them has come away with a couple of fingers less than they had.
I wear the mask when I leave here and try to avoid crowded places. I do this because it's required and considered socially responsible.
The vaccine? We might make one that works to reduce the mortality rate; it won't stop people contracting the virus. Most who know their onions are saying that the logistics are impossible and that so far, even with a reasonable effective vaccine, the risk reduction is likely to be short lived. In other words, it may prevent you dying this time but next is another matter.
While all this is going on the virus is mutating, looking to optimize it's survival chances. The smarter virus work out that dead creatures don't make good hosts. They have these meetings saying 'look chaps, we're overcooking this one. Lets just make them a bit sick and then move on'.
One day we will get a killer virus. The odds are in favour. Lets hope the government incumbents are a lot more competent than the showers of shite we have currently. Hopefully I'll be dead by then.

I wondered if you were seeing who actually read the scientific name? [Yes, I did 
]. Well played as 
We are enjoying our quiet. 
I don't manage the chickens like that.
