Oh, not having to be stored at a science-fictionally low temperature is definitely a plus, as is more effectiveness.
I don't know what the public reluctance is caused by; there is almost certainly a strong admixture of anti-vaxxer nonsense in there, but I don't really know much about it.
It looks like the two manufacturers are trying very hard to demonstrate that they have done everything right, and the FDA has made reassuring noises about not selling out to the Republicans. But the problem with Trump is that he just has to insert himself into everything and wreck it. He didn't just fail to provide PPE when it could really have made a difference. He outbid states for it and squirreled it away for his favorites; and when some states managed to buy some anyway, he sent federal agents to steal it. Unless by then he's collapsed like a wet lump of spaghetti, which is possible, he'll try to mess things up somehow. I don't want anything to do with his administration. It's poisonous.
