“We are developing vaccine tourism,” the message said. We don’t have a vaccine and we are not even going to get it. The vaccine will be administered under U.S. law. Nothing can be said right now. We are not accepting any advances or deposits. All we need is your registration. The rest of the process will then be done with the permission of the health department.
