Knock on wood, but between this news and the Oxford efforts revealed earlier this week, it's starting to feel more and more like we're about to see an unprecedented, space-race-esque vaccine effort that may very well blow away the standard timelines everyone keeps throwing around...

I hope beyond hope this plans out and I hope they make it open source.

It is going to take a global effort to get it produced, distributed and administered.

Just don't buy the contaminated version from China.

China is a big reason why I want it open sourced.

I'd like as much qualified diversity in the supply chain to make this. Portfolio management and all of that. With a single It only takes one mistake to **** everyone

People will have to agree to actually get the vaccine, though.

There is a terrifying large number of people that wont because of Bill Gates, the mark of the beast and some other nonsense.

It would take trump getting his vaccination on Fox and Friends to convince a lot of them.


It worked for elvis.

Outside of the F16 crowd, most folks will very likely be happy to.

I dunno, I've now read that Fox news has been co-opted. Crazy lady that organized a protest last weekend said that. Her sources are now only info wars and Q.

We're finding out right now how useless antibody tests that were not properly tested are.

We shouldn't do the same with a vaccine. It needs to be properly tested. A bad vaccine could do more harm than good. In trying to make a SARS vaccine, they found sometimes the vaccine could make people more prone to infection.

In the movie Contagion they developed a vaccine in four months.

I will get it.... but I'll need six to twelve months to see that people that got it are not dying, not turning into zombies, and not getting Covid before I let them give it to me.

Pfizer will begin testing a vaccine next week and said it could be ready for use this Fall on an Emergency Basis.

Maurice Hilleman who was working for Squibb Pharma during WWII was given 30 days to develop a vaccine for Japanese Encephalitis to protect our soldiers at war. He was able to develop the vaccine in 30 days and started vaccinating soldiers. It was an amazing feat.

Most people have no idea who Maurice Hilleman is. This guy was an amazing scientist and researcher. We need a Maurice Hilleman today.

There is a global race to get a vaccine to sell before this thing burns out on its own.

Can i just volunteer to get blown the **** up by the full blown virus so I can get on with my life?

Seriously. We now have good data on this and it isn't polio. Cough in my mouth and I'll go home for 10 days. I'll roll the dice on the fact that i have a 99.9% chance of surviving... 60-70% of the time i might not even know I have it.. whatever.. let's go.

Due to coronavirus cases decreasing so does the likelihood of having successful vaccine screenings. Another blow against vaccine in any near timeline.

I don't get it. Isn't 50% better than nothing? At some point you do the best you can. This seems like a classic case of good being the enemy of perfect.

It worked for elvis.

Once this has all sussed out, it will be a challenge to create a vaccine with a lower CFR for <60 yr olds than the China virus itself.

Relieved to see folks like yourself willing to immediately give it an experimental go so that the rest of us can see the side effects before we leap on board.

TIA.

50% chance of the results even being valid because the infection rate is so low. Not even the vaccine working.

Yes, before you pour enormous energy into a vaccine advancing you want to be sure that it successfully cleared the checkpoint.

I got my results back yesterday. They were negative as I expected considering I never developed a fever and felt fine. I was a little disappointed.

Can't we just stick a monkey in a blender then inject it into our necks? I mean, how long does this take?
