Pfizer says a vaccine may be ready very soon

May 5 (Reuters) - Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE said on Tuesday they have begun delivering doses of their experimental coronavirus vaccines for initial human testing in the United States.
The U.S. drugmaker and German partner said if the vaccine proves to be safe and effective in trials, it could potentially be ready for wide U.S. distribution by the end of the year, shaving several years off the typical vaccine development timeline.
The U.S. study is part of a broader, global program already underway in Germany, where BioNTech is based. Dosing there began last month.
Moderna Inc is using similar technology for its vaccine being developed along with the U.S. government. Phase I testing of that vaccine candidate has also begun, with mid-stage trials planned in the current quarter.
Pfizer said last week it hopes to receive emergency authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as early as October, and could distribute up to 20 million doses by the end of 2020, with an eye toward producing hundreds of millions of doses next year.

Moderna/NIH and Oxford are 2 months ahead of them. Moderna has said they expect to produce 80 million doses a month by September. These groups have been working on this vaccine since the SARs outbreak 15 years ago.
The doom wishers will down vote, but we will have enough for at risk groups and medical workers by early fall if just one of the projects work.
The Moderna vaccine has been in about 100 people in Washington including medical workers with no adverse effects for almost 2 months now. The test subjects produced antibodies. They expanded the study to a couple hundred more healthy people and 100 people over 65 2 weeks ago.
In 1957, there was a Vaccine developed for a novel pandemic flu (similar in death toll to coronavirus) in 8 months. It was the first mass produced and mass administered flu vaccine. That was with 1957 technology.
And for the idiots that say they aren't taking it, it doesn't matter if you take it. A vaccine available for at risk groups, means a return to real normal.

A Democrat operative is currently preparing the legal paperwork to challenge any FDA administrative decision to grant this Emergency Authorization. They'll take it to the SCOTUS, if necessary, because this Virus and Red China MUST WIN in order for Democrats to win in November!!
Keep voting Democrat, America.
We are almost there !

Yes, but the 1918 Pandemic came from Kansas.

Sounds like a pointless thread. We don’t even know if it works, unless I missed something in your post.

It appears as though you missed a great deal in the post.

We actually don't know this and it has been challenged by experts for years.
3 prevailing theories are:
1) Kansas
2) France
3) China

They are producing without approval in the hopes that the trials will be successful and will be approved by FDA.
That doesn't mean they will be able to come out of trials by September.

If this thing comes back with a vengeance in the fall they will throw everything they have at it, trials or no trials.

That's waaaaaaay sooner than most people estimated.
And, if it gets administered earlier to those for whom taking some risk makes more sense (elderly, otherwise vulnerable), this could be a game changer.

And what in your quoted and highlighted text makes this thread the opposite of useless?

There is literally a 0 percent chance I’ll be the Guinea Pig for this New World Order brainwashing vaccine
