Sure, the private sector could produce a vaccine sans govt. Pfizer, the first one out of the gates did just that by declining to take part in operation warp speed. Now lets take the govt out of the manufacturing and distribution part of it and ask yourself would this vaccine make it to hundreds of millions of people being distributed by CVS and Rite Aid, particularly the needy ones who are disproportionately falling victim to this virus? Or would it just become a haves and a have not situation? Could you really get society back up and running if only the privileged are vaccinated? Or are the less privileged considered acceptable losses?
No, I don’t think cvs and Walgreens could handle it all on their own, but if we were forced to we could loop in more companies. You would still need some central form of governance and leadership for distribution.
What I am saying is that even with large government facilities at their disposal with huge parking lots (schools/colleges, fairgrounds, vets halls, etc) I am still having an easier time getting an appointment at cvs. What does that tell you about the government scheduling system?
The rest of your post with the 20 questions regarding the poor is just a strawman. I never said that government shouldn't be involved or that the poor don’t matter, what I said is that the government here is failing at it. poor and rural communities are going to be a challenge regardless because people will need to congregate somewhere, whether that be a local school or a pharmacy. A UPS truck with a vaccination tram would probably be more effective in certain communities where people are more spread out and/or have difficulty getting to a vaccine site.
