The great news of the day is scientific. I'd be happy to give the administration credit if due, but we've fast tracked many a Rx before. I expect Warp Speed to eventually produce vaccine and therapeutic options, but they aren't here yet. The reasons for $PFE having apparently developed a highly successful mRNA vaccine go well back in time. If the Oxford U. project, in conjunction with $AZN, is successful in producing an adenovirus vaccine, its research goes back farther, iirc. Celebrate science today. Is this an RNA vaccine like Moderna? There are multiple strategies being deployed, from live virus, RNA, to traditional development. There will be choices to be made on which one to get. Many people cannot take a live virus vaccine and does one work better for older people. So many questions still. The RNA vaccine has to be maintained at very cold temperatures that no pharmacies have the ability to maintain if I understand it correctly. Deployment will be a huge challenge if true.

I have it on very good authority that there is going to be a sign-up process for the vaccine to begin with. Without a doubt, it is going to first responders/medical professionals first and foremost. Availability is going to be very limited to start with, and we're not looking at anything being widely available to the public at large until the middle of next year more than likely.

That is what I read on the state planning where I am at. However which vaccine? How do you widely distribute a vaccine that has to be maintained at temps of -90 degrees? A lot of questions.

mysfit Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 My only issue is the hold up on the transition. They need to go ahead and start that, officially. It was shown the delay in 2000 adversely impacted 9/11. One of the Final Five.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh. mRNA is what Moderna is working on. I thought early on that Oxford’s adenovirus vaccine might get home first, but the mRNA technology has legs beyond viral vaccines.
