No I haven't delved into that issue but did find an anecdote from some scientists interesting.

In essence virologists in the States decried research funding cut backs as irresponsible around 2010.

Cut backs occurred because the MERS and SARS outbreaks didn't gain traction and kill a huge number of people.

Private pharmaceutical companies didn't want to maintain their funding in line with the US government cut backs.

The conclusion in retrospect being that a covid vaccine would have been tested and made available for use a decade ago.

Untold lives would have been saved along with a greater awareness of how covid vaccines worked.

That call costed companies like Pfizer a huge potential windfall but it's all history now.

Agreed again on the funding issues. How many times have we seen that around the world and at home?
