The vaccine.  The inoculation process.  The military.  What is going on?

Several times during Trump's campaign speeches, Trump has mentioned that the military will make the distribution of the vaccine.  Which seems odd, but then something came over the news about funding for the security of the vaccine.  So, do you think that they are making plans to keep the vaccine from being stolen and hijacked, so that the designated people get it first, etc.  And that includes the military, guys with rifles guarding the hospitals and doctors giving the shots.  Something bigger than the cops can handle.  In particular since the way the democrats have been shutting down the cops.  Do you think the democrats will be rioting over the vaccine? Claiming something is not fair.   Do you think they are expecting something like the "Tulip mania" in Holland a few centuries back?  The vaccine will become the most valuable thing on earth for a couple of months.

    I think he's talking about using the militarily logistics infrastructure to distribute the vaccine.

    I don't know why he'd bother, commercial supply chain services are cheaper, larger, more efficient and have greater capacity and reach. 

    Tulip Mania was a speculation bubble. 

    I don't see how it's relevant. 

    Vaccines can be produced in vast quantities quickly so their value and scarcity will decline with time.

     Don't try to make sense out of anything Trump says. You'll get a headache.
