Usually comments on BBC articles are pretty horrible. However, I'm very pleased to see that the top comment on that article is: "This is the power of science. Step aside celebrities- these people are who should be famous. " Edit: I should also point out that I am, of course, in complete agreement
I wonder what will happen with the vaccine deals that governments have been doing. Like, what if they pre-ordered from one manufacturer whose vaccine proves inferior to the other ones?
That said, all the deals are contingent on being effective. With this being 90% effective that sets a bar for the others. The FDA has previously said they need your vaccine to be 50% effective to approve it. However with this being 90% effective they are unlikely to approve one that is only 50% effective. Unlikely doesn't mean they won't: different allergic reactions; usefulness in different age groups; ability to ship to remote groups; difference in effectiveness to some minority: all are factors that may make some vaccine approved even if it is clearly the worse one to get overall.
I'm feeling a deep-seated wave of relief that I never thought possible. Like waking up from a year-long nightmare. Thank God.

How dangerous did you assess it to be?

Same here. Congratulations and thanks to everybody who worked so hard on this.
Screw the media for pushing this and lockdown as the only possible solution. This will still take ages to be rolled out.
While you’re being inconvenienced remember that you’re better off than most people who’ve ever lived. Isolation and fear of early death were a pervasive part of life until the 20th century brought vaccination and antibiotics, and we’re getting only a small reminder of what used to be normal.
Not stated in the article: this was part of the Trump Administration DHHS's Project Warp Speed, which funded 6 different vaccines concurrently. https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/explaining-operation-warp-sp...
Warp Speed didn't contribute to the development of this one; they have allocated funds to buy the vaccine though Operation Warp Speed, the federal effort to rush a vaccine to market, has promised Pfizer $1.95 billion to deliver 100 million doses to the federal government, which will be given to Americans free of charge. But Dr. Jansen sought to distance the company from Operation Warp Speed and presidential politics,…

Glad to hear the virus is not dangerous, a pity you've informed us all so late!

This is really exciting news. How did you find out? Shouldn't we alert the public?
