Matt Ridley, author of “How Innovation Works,” tells Glenn and Stu he was surprised when scientists and doctors said it would take 12-18 months at BEST to develop a COVID-19 vaccine. Usually developing vaccines takes even longer: it was 4 YEARS total for the whooping cough cure. And the reason for such a slow process isn’t just because of government oversight. Ridley says there’s another reason why we’ll be waiting a long time for that coronavirus cure that’ll hopefully bring our daily lives a little bit closer to normal.
