Yes, I think it does. I have one last question, which I will try to not ask and answer myself. In a situation in three to six months, when we possibly have six to eight different vaccines, how will clinical managers, doctors, etc., choose which vaccine will be appropriate for each person? Each vaccine obviously has different efficacies. I am a scientific layperson in respect of these vaccines, obviously, but it seems all of them are generally of the same type, except that they are being made by six or seven different companies. How will medical professionals differentiate between who gets which vaccine? I hope that makes sense.
