Your wish appears to be the administration's strategy:

The Trump administration is organizing a Manhattan Project-style effort to drastically cut the time needed to develop a coronavirus vaccine, with a goal of making enough doses for most Americans by year’s end.

Called “Operation Warp Speed,” the program will pull together private pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and the military to try to cut the development time for a vaccine by as much as eight months, according to two people familiar with the matter.

As part of the arrangement, taxpayers will shoulder much of the financial risk that vaccine candidates may fail, instead of drug companies.

This seems to be the exact thing that has been argued for in this thread and in the Vox article.  So, good job by the administration?

Hurray, they're doing something! I'm sure the devil is in the details, though, and since this is all from leaks we don't really know them. The whole article makes me a bit more optimistic, a vaccine available in September would be amazing.
