Pfizer Hopes to Have Vaccine Ready in October

‘ "If things go well, and we feel that the product is safe and efficacious, and the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] and EMA [European Medicines Agency] and other regulatory agencies feel the same, we will be able to deliver millions of doses in the October time frame," Bourla said. ‘

Pfizer wants to expand human trials of coronavirus vaccine to thousands of people by September, CEO says

If they succeed, wouldn't this be the first ever vaccine for a corona virus? It has been 40 years and no vaccine for HIV yet, just sayin'

Yes. There has never been sufficient, sustained funding for one. The SARS early in this century ran out of punch before they could finish one.

Interesting--I didn't know that about the Sars virus. I have just enough minor illness that I have a lifetime of doctors and do not pay any attention to medicine in general.

Ken, have you heard anything about masks actually being unhealthy for a person to wear all the time? I had to wear a mask at the barbershop this week but I got my hands on an N95, which made me the only one around who had an N95.

I have always thought that this was going to be a class thing and now there is research information that the upper class has a lower rate of infection because of their higher level of sanitation and their environment of isolation. I have had several rich people tell me that they don't like crowds. That is going to filter down to the lower classes now in my opinion. Another rich guy used to say if anyone had a cold or anything, stay away from me--I don't want what you got.

Do you think that hot weather will end this? With so many of the sicker old people already gone from this pandemic, do you think that the second wave will be much more than a feeble echo?

Until we get out of the first wave, it will be kinda hard to have a second wave. Frankly, I am not overly concerned about this virus for me personally. Just imagine what we would find we have in our bodies if we could test for every germ imaginable.

I wear a mask in Walmart just to go along since 90% of the other people in there do.

The truth of the matter is that the USA was totally unprepared for this pandemic. The CDC under Fauci was looking into cures for racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia and not thinking about another Sars type outbreak per orders of his bosses.

As far as I know, Taiwan's 23 million people were the only nation in the world to continue working day-to-day because they were able to provide N95 masks to every man, woman, and child.

Because we kowtow to the Chinese Communists led by the new Stalin or Hitler of Xi Jinping, we are scrambling to find medicines in a will-o'-the-wisp manner when what we really need our N95 masks.

100,000 Americans will have lost their lives to politically correct science and the American people haven't a clue.

How about a poll here about who would take this vaccine in this forum. I’m not taking it. Proven already that if you got the flu vax last fall & contracted covid, you were 1/3 more likely to die from it than with no flu shot.

Just started one. Vote away.
