The Number of Vaccines Out There?

 This is an odd topic and worth a moment to discuss.  

Officially, in the western world....Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine and Moderna’s vaccine.

Then you have three which are still in clinical testing phases (probably not to be produced/shipped until Feb/Mar): AstraZeneca’s vaccine,  Janssen’s vaccine and Novavax’s vaccine​.

Then you add in efforts in Russia and China.

Then you add approximately twenty-five other companies/universities into the mix from Asia, Europe and the US.  Good listing at this site.

The obvious question....will we reach a point where people start to refer to one vaccine as the 'Cadillac' version or another the '90-day wonder' (because it's only effective for 90 days)?  

One might suspect by summer of 2021....this issue will be dragged out and openly discussed.
