This morning my father and I were talking about one thing and another. "If they come out with a vaccine (for COVID-19), would you get it?" he asked.
"That depends. If it comes out before Election Day, or even Inauguration Day, I'd have to wonder whether its approval was rushed."
Afterward, I found myself thinking about some of the worst bike parts I've ever used and owned. They were introduced as the lightest, best, strongest or "must-have" in some other way. I can't help but to think that I, and some riding buddies who also experienced problems like the ones I incurred, were "guinea pigs" for the makers of those components.
Of course, my collapsing Nuke Proof hubs weren't quite as catastrophic as a faulty vaccine might be. The shop from which I bought those hubs replaced them with other hubs and equipment. But what do you do if the vaccine causes some physical or medical problem that can't be reversed?
Note: If the typeface in this post looks different from that of my other posts, it's because Blogger, in all of its infinite wisdom, decided to change its page and make it impossible to use whatever typefaces you've used before.
