Anybody happen to notice the performance date of the agreement (i.e., the date on or by which the parties are to begin the development of the vaccine, as opposed to the date of the agreement itself)?

I did. There's no date at all. One more "smoke and mirrors" gag. Step right up, and see the main attraction...half-woman, half-fish, and half-kangaroo. That's right, folks, THREE halves. The first one in history. Get your popcorn, and grab a seat. Or, as Bette Davis said, "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."
