Maybe, or you developed and scaled up production of a vaccine that only worked on young healthy adults who don't need it that much, and kills or maims everyone else. Wasting a ton of time, resources, and good will that could have been better spent saving lives instead of getting 20 year olds back to bars.

Remember it wasn't a given that mRNA vaccines were going to work, we were lucky.




It's hindsight, but none of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in use have that problem, nor do several more that are likely to be approved for emergency use.

What proportion of approved vaccines in general have such radically different responses in different age groups or demographics?
