R21 vaccine for malaria is a huge breakthrough. Takes 3 shots and a booster and it is 76% effective. For COVID vaccines, we need two shots and annual booster and it is 96% effective. Name one of the inventors of COVID vaccines.

Republican presidential hopefully from Florida touts his COVID policies in debate. Cutting off funding to school districts following life saving COVID precautions cost the lives of Floridians. Is this the medical idiot you want to run the whole country?
