Apparently it was supposed to be a secret, and he's been appearing in public without a mask.

'Cuz it's all a hoax.

Only when more GOP political representatives die will the message get through, Herman Cain,David Andahl,Peter Secchia, etc. are just not enough. 240,000 ordinary Americans not enough.

Pfizer is reporting some very favourable preliminary results for it's vaccine this morning. The pre-opening stock market is soaring.

First thing I saw on FB this morning:

"Biden Invents Vaccine Only Two Days After Election Is Called"

-- Andy Borowitz

LOL!

All kidding aside. Thankfully the deep state within Pfizer waited until Biden was declared victor. Had they announced this a week prior to the election like the board wanted. trump may have spun it to victory.

Just another arguing point as to why it should be released immediately. Every day they are screwing around trying to make "sure, super sure sure' that it's effective and safe is another day thousands die. Sometimes you just have to call it good enough and move forward.

I am very glad you're not in a position of power at the FDA.  A vaccine released early could be far worse than a better tested vaccine released later.

Exactly. The Nova comes to mind as proof positive.

Annnnddddd next up on the Whitehouse Virus Lottery:

HUD Secretary Ben Carson tests positive for coronavirus

And Trump Senior campaign advisor David Bossie to the list. He's the asshole in charge of the baseless election lawsuit program, I think.

Lots of things 'can' happen. I can tell you what WILL happen. Hundreds of thousands more people will be dead for every few months it's not released. 

And what happens when the vaccine is finally approved and the FDA says yep it's safe and effective? Then we're gonna be like crap, I guess it was safe all along. Well kind of late at that point for a lot of people who are already dead.

And I can tell you what WILL happen if a vaccine is released and it turns out to have serious side effects.  All those nutjobs will say "see?  I've been telling you all along - these vaccines are UNSAFE!  I have PROOF!"  And they will actually have it - and will be listened to.

And the next vaccine will have to go a much longer set of trials before it's released.  And when it is released, most will refuse to use it it.  "Remember last time when the FDA said it was safe?  Not injecting my kids with that.  I'll wait a year."

And millions will die.  That's worse than hundreds of thousands.

If you want to join a vaccine trial I support that 100%.  Go for it.

If you want to end the disease before then, push as hard as you can for universal masking, testing, distancing, contact tracing and improved hygiene.  Those aren't as quick and easy as a shot you get in ten seconds - but are a whole lot safer at this point.   And they are very effective.

I have a Nova that I haven't jumped for years.  Do I feel foolish when someone else jumps a Nova and says "See?  It landed FINE.  You're afraid of nothing!"  Nope.  Because I have enough experience to know that "it will probably be OK" is not sufficient evidence for me to trust my life to it.  Same with vaccines.
