And distribution to the public….
Thus slowing Donald Trump roll out effort for the vaccine ….
And seeking to calm the public fears against untested vaccine which is already available for those who want to be test subjects….
Several drug makers developing Covid-19 vaccines plan to issue a public pledge not to seek government approval until the shots have proven to be safe and effective, an unusual joint move among rivals that comes as they work to address concerns over a rush to mass vaccination.
A draft of the joint statement, still being finalized by companies including Pfizer Inc., PFE -0.11% Johnson & Johnson JNJ -0.64% andModerna Inc. MRNA -3.45% and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, commits to making the safety and well-being of vaccinated people the companies’ priority. The vaccine makers would also pledge to adhere to high scientific and ethical standards in the conduct of clinical studies and in the manufacturing processes.
The companies might issue the pledge as soon as early next week, according to two people familiar with the matter. The statement would join a growing number of public assurances by industry executives that they aren’t cutting corners in their rapid testing and manufacturing of the vaccines.
“We believe this pledge will help ensure public confidence in the Covid-19 vaccines that may ultimately be approved and adherence to the rigorous scientific and regulatory process by which they are evaluated,” the draft statement says….
Of course they do;otherwise, they could open themselves to all sorts of civil liability.
This supposed “October Surprise “ of Trumps which is being touted here isn’t going to amount to anything.
At best , there will be some kind of “announcement” that a vaccine that “appears” to be effective may be announced.
It’s availability to the average person?Early spring 2021 at the earliest ,probably later.
Actually?
If you want to be a test person?
You should be able to get the vaccine now….
And?
The companies listen to their ‘experts’…
Trump does NOT…
Yeah and you might get sick .
That’s what “tests” are all about.
Why don’t you volunteer?
Actually ALL vaccines make u sick to develop immunity ….
I’ve never gotten sick from a flu vaccine.
More gibberish from you.
Once again, why don’t you volunteer?
Look it up Jack…..
How vaccine’s work….
Oh everyone knows what I’m talking about…
Getting physically ill.
So stop your usual cow manure!
I’ve had a sorts of vaccinations and haven’t gotten physically ill as have Millions of others.
Once again since you’ve been obfuscating about these vaccines for months now(once farcically claiming that one would be ready by midsummer ,hahaha,)
Why don’t you volunteer?
What?
Scared of getting “sick?”
Trump’s new coronavirus adviser uses made-up statistics and false claims to praise White House pandemic response
Alexander Nazaryan,Yahoo News•September 4, 2020
WASHINGTON — In a contentious interview on the BBC’s “Newshour” on Friday, the president’s new coronavirus adviser, Dr. Scott Atlas, said the United States had actually handled the coronavirus pandemic better than Europe, citing a discredited statistic of unknown origin.
In recent days, Atlas has eclipsed Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx as Trump’s most visible, and presumably trusted, coronavirus adviser. In that role he used his appearance on the BBC to defend aspects of the president’s widely criticized response to COVID-19.
Atlas is affiliated with the conservative Hoover Institution at Stanford University. An expert in brain imaging, he has no experience with pandemic response but appears to have parlayed his frequent appearances on Fox News into a White House appointment.
Confronted by the BBC interviewer regarding his lack of expertise, Atlas lashed out. “You know, I have to laugh at that,” he said, adding that it was “sort of silly” to think a virologist or immunologist was needed to deal with the pandemic.
Before joining the Trump administration, Atlas made statements that called into question his understanding of the virus. He backed the push by several Republican governors to reopen their states’ economies in early May, while most public health officials, including Fauci, were urging caution. Many states in the Sun Belt did reopen, only to see significant spikes in both infections and deaths.
Later, Atlas tried to blame those spikes on antiracism protests and on immigrants from Mexico. The view of most public health experts is that when governors took the approach Atlas advocated, newly reopened restaurants, bars and other venues quickly became sites of viral transmission.

Atlas has supported the controversial strategy of allowing the virus to spread naturally until enough of the population — around 60 or 70 percent, by varying estimates — has been exposed to achieve what’s called “herd immunity,” at which point the epidemic should end on its own. That was Sweden’s goal in resisting the kinds of lockdowns most other nations instituted. That strategy failed.
Despite having explicitly and repeatedly advocated for the herd immunity approach, Atlas denied being a herd immunity proponent to the BBC, echoing a similar denial he made on CNN earlier this week. “I have never, literally never, advised the president of the United States to pursue a strategy of herd immunity, of opening the doors and letting people get infected,” he said….

Quack
Atlas is NOT an immune guy…
He’s a neuro doctor I believe…
