90% effective is better than anything we could of ever dreamed of! If I have down time today  at work, I'm definitely going to be diving into the therapeutics/immunology of this. 

2 mt. video is a decent explanation for laypersons like myself.

Appreciate the info! However, I'm in the medical field and I'll be diving into medical journals and PubMed.  I'm a nerd when it comes to this stuff. :P

I'm a part-time biotech investor, and I've been in medical stocks for decades.  I know just enough to lose less money :).

I'll look forward to what you find of importance and interest.

Not to get political but I’m going to give Trump some credit here.  The government committed to purchasing the vaccine back in July as part of Operation Warp Speed.  Not sure this gets done as quickly without that commitment.

2021 may be looking up.

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.

Warp Speed was good policy. However, $PFE did not take any R&D money under Warp Speed viewing they could get there quicker w/o. The buying agreement was helpful, but the result for $PFE would have been the same w/o Warp Speed.
