    ^ A record number of Americans risked their lives to vote; some in the rain in 10 hour long lines, because the "powers that be" made it that way. It's irresponsible to pack the streets during this time, and it will inevitably lead to more deaths, but I can't fault anyone for celebrating today.

    Pfizer says trials show its COVID vaccine is "more than 90% effective"

    "London β€” U.S. drugmaker Pfizer said Monday that human trials suggest its coronavirus vaccine is 90% effective at preventing COVID-19 infections in people not known to have had the virus already. The pharmaceutical giant said it would be applying for Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA as soon as final data meets safety milestones, which it expects to happen in the third week of November.
    ...
    "We know it's a two-dose vaccine, so we want to ensure that we can manage the β€” the delivery of the first dose and ensure the delivery of the second dose β€” while we simultaneously integrate new rounds of doses being delivered to the American people," General Gus Perna, leader of Operation Warp Speed, the U.S. government's program to inoculate 300 million Americans against the coronavirus by next spring, told "60 Minutes" on Sunday.
    ...
    "This is likely to be a very staged market entry," Gottlieb said. "I think that's what people should expect. But for most people, they will not have access to a vaccine until 2021. I think maybe the first quarter of 2021, probably the first half of 2021. And that's assuming that these vaccines are demonstrated to be safe and effective in these large trials."
    "

    Based on this, I think it would be the independent scientists are the timing factor, not Pfizer. I would think the pharma companies would like Trump since he never followed through with negotiating Medicare drug pricing. Reality is, pharma companies love both parties as it has worked for them forever.

    Note the date, October. They had an earlier release from June or so as well regarding timing.

    My IT company works with Pfizer and the whisper rumors from the management teams is that they've been sitting on this data for 2 weeks, waiting for the election. Two reasons: 1. they didn't want people to think it was a forced political announcement and lower public trust in the vaccine and 2. they were pressured from their board because they thought Biden would win due to the polls and didn't want to piss off the incoming administration.

    Why did they (deep state) wait until after the election to announce this milestone... sketchy AF.

    Pfizer was never part of Warp Speed and didn't take any federal money.

    Well this sucks. My wife's 70 yo aunt and 97 yo grandma were both confirmed to be covid positive this past weekend. This is the closest covid has reached to our loved ones so far. I am not optimistic considering their age and the fact that families can't go visit them in the hospital hurts.

    The pfizer news is great. Hopefully it can be distributed far and wide in a few months.
