The Covid-19 vaccine could wind up on the black market, experts are warning.

into gold early in the pandemic, and it’s likely to do the same for vaccines, making them especially attractive to thieves and foreign copycat artists, other experts said.

Cushing said in an email that so far, he has not seen “any black market issues in the U.S.,” but the potential is there. “The absence of any federal infrastructure across counties and states is leading to an unmitigated disaster in addition to inefficient distribution,” Khan said. “Vaccine distribution is the Groundhog Day of what Covid-19 testing was in the beginning of the pandemic. These considerable delays are likely to lead to more hospitalizations and deaths that could be preventable.”

I think you mean *white* market

Given many states still have no vaccine available to the general public of any age or risk, I would say a whole lot has already been diverted. Trump's Operation Warp Speed funded development by pre-purchasing doses and hoping they were approved. They were so who has them?

I wish the medical community, would take the time to educate people on how this vaccine works. Its not a cure. It does not mean you can't get infected, it will lesson the severity. If 70%+ of populations are vaccinated, herd immunity could be achieved.

Probably already has ended up on black market..the vaccine is probably being sold. A reason for many not being vaccinated. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark..

It's not a Vaccine!

And sadly, that is the way of the world. Money truly is the root of all evil.

That sounds about right

Rich and well connected will get it before they should? You mean like SpeakerPelosi or marcorubio. I think that horse has left the barn.

Anyone stupid enough to trust a black market vaccine deserves to lose their money. There could be anything in that syringe.

Sure it will. Why would it be any different? $ is $ 😔

The term 'black market' is racist. Apologize now!

NIXON,REAGAN,BUSH (NRB) et al. accepted white supremacists in the modern-day Republican party (not Lincoln’s Republican Party). “Vote for me, keep quiet..I got your back”. NRB set it up for the CON orange 🍊 dude. 45 told those folk to COME OUT LOUD..& TAKE OVER your party.
