In reply to the discussion: Russia preparing mass vaccination against coronavirus for October [View all]LTG
(215 posts)Didnt Fauci say that with the very positive results in human and primate testing he is cautiously optimistic that a vaccine will be approved by late fall, early winter?
Im paraphrasing as I dont have the exact quote in front of me, but listening to him it sounded to me like he believed it very possible vaccinations could begin before years end.
Of course first vaccinations would go first to first responders, medical personnel and other frontline workers. They would be followed by the most vulnerable, as vaccine stocks allow. The majority of the public would get theirs early next year.
It sounds like theyve already begun manufacture of many millions of doses of the mostly likely to be approved.
If thats warp speed the Russians must be in trans-warp speed or, as in Spaceballs, even ludicrous speed.
Of course I could have misinterpreted what I thought I heard. My wife accuses me of that frequently.
