Vaccines and most other drugs for that matter. Or, that they can be fine for one group but not another. All reasons why the testing process takes so long and why it makes so much sense not to rush things but hopefully they'll be able to do this one in less time but still do it safely. What worried me more about the article was the reference to North American pharmaceutical companies being a hindrance to the process because of their usual requirement for exclusive rights which translates to exclusive profits. In this case that could create some negative backlash from the public, though, so perhaps they'll realize for once it's not to their benefit.
....yep, Big Pharma would be wise to stay the hell out of this one and cut their exorbitant deals at another time.....

Taylor isn't strictly a Scotch name, itcomes from Lincolnshire I believe, and before that France, literally meaning: to make. It did appear in certain parts of the North of Scotland, like Orkney and Aberdeen. You would proably be with Clan Keith or Innes, search thier respective tartans and you'll be good to go!
We are Scots.....Clan Cameron. I've done my research.

The weird thing is that most pharmaceutical companies, US ones, are based in China.

350$ max? Joke. US Government just gave out a tens of millions bail out to most Ivy League Universities.
The state of NC isn't giving those of us who are self employed bumpkus.
Everything we're receiving is coming from the federal bill signed by President Trump.
Not trying to make a political statement here, just stating a fact.

Another fun fact.....my Grandma's maiden name was Gragg. Also Scots, from Clan MacGregor or Gregor.
Apparently, they liked to fight too. My Grandma used to tell me stories of how the Graggs were so mean that when a bunch of them
were ambushed and beheaded by an enemy, their heads screamed all night and all day, giving the enemy no rest until their heads were reunited with their bodies and given a proper burial.
We have a saying in my family about "pitching a Taylor/ Gragg fit".......and believe me when I say, I can pitch one of the best! :biggrin2:

Ah, I did not know that. It's good that the Federal Bill is helping the workers, I won't say anymore than that! :)
