Anyone else find it odd that prior to this event, there was no known vaccine or treatment? Now in the short span of a few months, magic. Only happened when 1st world countries were threatened and a profit was to be made.

In all fairness, the article did say "experimental". Is 250,000 doses a little much for something that's experimental?

I wouldn't say it is all that much. 250,000 doses is less then .1% of our population and then what is the volume for those 250,000 doses, probably less than a gallon.

I've gone ahead and developed my own vaccine.

Vaccines don't make much money. Drugs that you take every day for the rest of your life do or drugs that make your pecker work better do.
