There are now at least 2 different vaccine’s expected to be available in the United State’s by September or October….
Full testing is till ongoing for the AstraZeneca vaccine…
The feds have ordered 300 million doses of a potential coronavirus vaccine from British drugmaker AstraZeneca, officials said Thursday.
The company will get up to $1.2 billion from the US Department of Health and Human Services to speed the development and production of the vaccine with the goal of delivering the first doses as early as October, according to officials.
The deal between AstraZeneca and HHS’s Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority includes clinical studies that will start this summer with about 30,000 US volunteers, officials said.
But AstraZeneca acknowledged that the vaccine may not work as it’s still being studied. The Food and Drug Administration must sign off on it before it’s made available, the feds said.
The contract is part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Warp Speed” initiative to make a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine widely available by January. A vaccine is considered key to ending the coronavirus crisis that has killed more than 90,000 Americans and devastated the US economy….
Note…
I doubt this is a coincidence that the vaccine drug could be available before the November Election Day….
A vaccine that hasn’t been proven to even work.
Could be…..
Trump doing a ‘hail Mary’ for sure…
If he’s right ?
People benefit….
If drugs don’t work out?
He’ll take them, or say he did and change the subject
One would think.
Who knows though?
He may insist that it works despite what “ them Lyin scientists “ say and roll up his sleeve, take the vaccine and urge his followers to do so too.
Yes Jack….
He COULD
44% of Re believe that Bill Gates is promoting mass vaccination programs to implant devices that will him to track them.
Shocking!
Republicans, long embracing lies and conspiracies, now have the leader they have wanted.
Wishful thinking?
The US could finally be free of the coronavirus in late September, and the whole world can expect to put the pandemic behind them in December, says a group of scientists in Singapore.
A mathematical model created by the Singapore University of Technology and Design is allowing the scientists to predict the future of the virus using data from already confirmed cases and deaths around the world.
Based on “a predictive-monitoring” technique, the model inputs global data which is converted to a bar chart. A curve over the top of the chart displays the trajectory of the disease. At the end of April, predictions showed that the US would be virus-free by Sept. 20 and the UK could see the end of the coronavirus by Aug. 27.
Scientists at the university cautioned that their dates were not exact and that the predictions should not lead to hasty ends of lockdowns around the world.
“Over-optimism based on some predicted end dates is dangerous because it may loosen our disciplines and controls and cause the turnaround of the virus,” they said….
