   b) I will mention that Spain dropped the ball here. We bought shitloads of   
   covid jabs and, by the time a given mutation of the virus was done, we kept   
   vaccinating pople against the old mutation instead of the new one because they   
   wanted to clear the inventory of the old vaccines.   
      
   c) The selling point of the jabs was precisely transmission reduction around   
   here. Imagine you put a brand or car for sale arguing that its special   
   properties will make hair grow back on your bald head, and then no particular   
   test is performed - even at an informal level - before the car hits the market.
