WOW! The First COVID-19 Vaccine Was Made in 'Record' Time and Just Given to 45 People in Seattle

Exactly.

It is obviously a "promising development"...

And, just as OBVIOUSLY it won't be ready for any sort of Widespread Availability for (at least) 12-18 Months.

Some people are jumping up and down like the Vaccine will be READY in 2 months.

Apparently, they are unaware of the procedures of "Clinical Trial"?

But, then again--Trump has NO CLUE:

Trump’s ignorance was on public display during coronavirus meeting with pharmaceutical execs
The president is pushing to get a Covid-19 vaccine before the election. It doesn’t work like that.

Huh?

And, So What?

Even if it is "FAST-Tracked" (by the FDA) it is STILL going to take 12-18 Months.

You DO understand that? Correct?

 

Truth is you've known for over a month if you were paying attention at all. Hell they've done daily updates for a freaking month.

If you are 65 and older you are higher risk.
If you have another underlying health concern, respiratory or heart, you are at big time risk stay the heck home.
If you are healthy and under the above ages and contract it, odds are you are at risk but will overcome it and may have mild cold to flu like symptoms.
Kids surprisingly have little to no issues with this virus.

To avoid, keep social distance, if you have fever or flu like symptoms call your doctor. Wash your hand or use sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. If you think you have it with mild symptoms call your doctor to report, and quarantine yourself.

 

I think this is consistent with everything I said. You probably noticed that I didn't suggest the government would be doing the production.

Are you disputing anything Dr. Fauci stated concerning this Phase 1 test?

I love your "when needed" comment given that today we need a couple hundred million vaccines and have 0. No biggy.

 

Trump had nothing to do with developing a vaccine! LOL! You have Seattle liberals to thank for that.

 

Well your living in fantasy land, you can create a vaccine before the virus. Not like China was going shoot us straight on what they found and it's to new to have any definitive answers. I was stating the government thank god is getting out of the way and no way said you said anything about it. My suggestion is simple if you want THE TRUTH listen to the CDC update everyday. Don't listen to the MSM or anyone running for President and you'll know the challenges and positives.

 

If you would read you would see he approved the FDA to allow them to skip the animal testing. Noone anywhere at any time said Trump developed it and most understand that the government can't get out of it's own way to develop something like that this quickly. Those bad Pharm companies stepping up.

 

And, if we are LUCKY--We Will Have the Vaccine in 12-18 Months.

 

Zombie fans know what's up. This is it boys, lock and load.

 

I'm fully aware of that information.

My point is that Trump and others in the administration have been telling us known falsehoods from the very start up through today.

And, the meaning of this Phase1 test is one such case.

 

No they've been telling us daily for a month exactly the facts at that time. Fact is this virus is a super spreader but not very deadly. It's flu like unless your high risk. It will go away, it will spread more, and more than likely you will be fine. Fact is vaccine is now being tested on humans in Seattle, there are 5 more to start testing in the next two weeks so it's life cycle now has a time span thanks to Big Pharm.

 

Gullible is a nice word for it...

Still, this is faster than I thought anything would be even attempted.

Good luck, NIH and Moderna....

Maybe this news will cause the Dow to only drop 2K tomorrow?

 

Hey you admitted you didn't believe it could happen this fast, very big of you. I hope it goes up 2k tomorrow but I'm a republican that wishes prosperity vs well you know.

 

Good news!

Some difficult days and months ahead, but we're going to beat this thing.

 

2 weeks ago?

Trump Launches Coronavirus Task Force
Published Jan. 30, 2020

All before Trump's great task force?

A month and half too late for MSM then.

 

I think the "record time" has to do with the late date at which we started.

And, I don't understand our apparant relluctance to cooperate with other countries in treatment, test and vaccine development.

Why would we NOT accept help from South Korea where they tested about a quarter million people (at 10,000/day) before we actually had working tests?

 

I agree. Absolutelyl

The question is time and cost in human life and wealth.

 

America has gone on a war footing, and I believe there will be losses and sacrifices made by many. But we ARE going to beat this thing.

 

Progress. Reason for optimism.

 

Well in that case, we might as well give up.

 

No, Trump has told us falsehoods at every presser since the beginning.

He spent weeks downplaying COVID19. He's told us that tests, CDC web sites, etc., are available when they are not. And, the list goes on.

And, he hasn't corrected Fox and other "news" sites that have disseminated totally false information - including that COVID19 is a partisan plot against the president.

And, he's blocked the news from actual experts which can be found, but which is too often countered by the bully pulpit of the presidency.

 

LOL, you are SO bad, Bob!

 

Oo-oo that smell,
can't you smell that smell?
Oo-oo that smell,
the smell of death's around you.

Ok maybe too much. Andrew, bro, lighten up.

 

What made fast-tracking a vaccine possible was the discovery of Patient Zero:

 

NO.

We need to keep from having spikes that could overwhelm medical support by usig our one primary tool - social distancing.
