There's potentially another big deal here from a purely scientific/technological perspective, because I think this will be the first successful vaccine created via a novel mRNA process that has thus far only been successful in animals.'Milestone' vaccine offers 90% Covid protection - BBC News
The vaccine is a "significant step" forward for getting life back to normal, but challenges remain.
We are still not out of the woods yet and we don't know when it's going to be finished. I've heard anything between the third week of November to the beginning of 2021 but this is great news.
Just be honest, and say you suspect that they held it back in order to cost Trump the election, even though no vaccine in history has ever been approved this quickly.
Not really? I mean I literally had this conversation back when we first got into lockdown. Most estimates had suggested we'd probably getting a vaccine for the thing out around early 2021. If they get emergency approval to further speed it along, they'd get to start distributing it by December 2020, a little faster than expected but not by much, especially when you consider that under those same circumstances they'd only be able to produce around 50 million doses (covering 25 million people, as two doses are needed per person) by the end of 2020. So the timing is more or less as expected.
Let me guess, Hillary Clinton hacked Pfizer's database from her secret underground lair beneath a pizzeria?
Interesting mental process you got going on there.
Surely the New World Order would wait until after Biden got into office so he could reap the credit. Don't underestimate the NWO
Mostly okay list. One addition. Somewhere just after teachers, service/grocery workers should get priority. With the amount of shit they've had to deal with too they deserve it. And it's probably one of the highest chances of spreading the virus. It can also let a whole bunch of people back in business who cant Zoom like most people
Yeah, like they will be some of the people interacting the most

Well, as always, anytime the news tells you something is "without evidence" it means there's totally evidence but the news isn't interested in seeing it. I HATE "without evidence". You're the news, you're supposed to find the evidence!
Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr., without evidence, accuse Pfizer of deliberately waiting until after Election Day to release its COVID-19 vaccine trial results
President Donald Trump baselessly speculated on Twitter that the Food and Drug Administration "didn't want to have me get a Vaccine WIN."
Lmao... I wonder if anyone's would fall for that. Well ig given Trump followers god I wonder who's gonna fall for that
But Trump and Jr are the ones making the claim. The burden of proof falls on them. If they've presented literally nothing (or, in Giuliani's case for the fraud allegations, presented guff that's already been debunked), what are the news orgs supposed to do?
That first bit is nonsense. To take this to an extreme, if Trump claimed we were invaded by aliens and the news said this was claimed without evidence they wouldn't be failing for not finding it. It's not on them to find evidence for something that someone else claimed to be true without evidence. Such evidence may not even exist. There's no reason to say the news isn't interested in seeing it, we haven't even establish such evidence exists in the first place...
I know right? I mean trump declaring he'd have a vaccine by Nov 1 (right before the election) isn't equally "interesting timing that isn't at all politically motivated"
Not report it. It isn't news.
Just not report... that the President of the United States is spreading a conspiracy theory?
Gasp! Their estimated timescale was off by a couple of weeks, on a project to develop a vaccine faster than has ever been accomplished before! Conspiracy!
