COVID Vaccine status.
There are dozens of vaccines developed already, we are in the testing phase right now. Thanks for President Trump, there are actually many doses made and in storage, waiting for approval.
Final phase 3 takes about 2 months after recruiting subjects, at least 30,000 people for Covid.
Status: Astra-Zeneca finished recruitment September 3. They could be done with testing on election day! After data are collected, FDA has to approve. They often sit on this for a while, but knowing Trump, they will not. So this really could be available in December! As Trump predicts.
Moderna just finished recruitment, so they could be done with testing by Christmas. Available maybe January. Their approach looks really revolutionary! They e.g. working on vaccines for Cancer! Covid sort of took over, seems like the other vaccines will be delayed.
Johnson & Johnson had some problems, but restarted now. They may be approved by February? Several others are starting phase 3. Dates of completion not known, but not that far away. All above are best case scenarios, if no problems arise. But with so many in the pipeline, something is going to work!
Screw vaccines. They’re for the KARENS
DO NOT TRUST BIG PHARMA
“...Moderna just finished recruitment, so they could be done with testing by Christmas....”

This is very misleading. Moderna should be ready to go to the Feds for emergency use authorization by about November 25th. I would hope that the FDA bureaucrats will not then take their sweet bureaucratic time granting that authorization. The benefits of Trump’s WARP SPEED development would be wasted if once things got to the FDA things slowed down to GLACIAL SPEED. After all, the data from Moderna that the FDA will review will be in the form of easily manipulated electronic databases and spreadsheets. This isn’t the 1950s where they had to deal with a lot of paper reports.
Immediately after the election Trump’s administration needs to lay down the law to the Deep State bureaucrats. Actually, there’s not a reason in the world they couldn’t review data on a flow basis BEFORE November 25th as it becomes available.
>>> DO NOT TRUST BIG PHARMA
Amen!
I’m not pointing fingers at Trump on this, but the leading producers of this vaccine may be screwing around with DNA on this one....
Roger that. Never had a flu shot. Never got the flu.
Exactly.
Someone else can have my dose.
I take yours! Thanks
November/December. Pretty close.
From their web page - their recruitment was slowed down because they had hard time finding enough people of color willing to participate. It looks like that cost them a month.
As far as reviewing data before the testing is completely finished, that’s a possibility. Actually a great idea! Are they going to do that? Do you have any info?
FDA was a great obstacle in approving a drug in USA. They are overprotective. Because of FDA, we are not getting the newest medicines available. E.g. Voltaren gel was available in Europe over the counter dozen years ago for few bucks. They were even recommended it to pregnant women! While that, we were paying like $140 for prescription tube. Finally now it is over the counter for like $9.99. We still cannot buy the Max (double strength) version.
Trump is trying hard to change that!
Honestly, I was not a big Trump fan four years ago, but he really deliver! So many things has been done which should be done 47 years ago!
Why should someone be particularly concerned about the safety of the Moderna vaccine? It’s being tested exactly the same way as every other drug or vaccine on the market. If there’s a problem, it will be found.
Why spread more unfounded fear?
You would have lined right up for the smallpox vaccine when that became available. Everyone did. Same with polio. And if weaponized smallpox ever surfaces, you’ll line up for a shot for that too.
All big and tough when it isn’t your own life on the line.
I’d be happy if the FDA would just stick to the same set of rules rather than changing them multiple times this year while there’s a pandemic that’s impacting the election and the potential to get multiple vaccines approved (through the normal process) and out the door to people.
But no, as soon as it looked like safe and effective vaccines might actually get approved before election day, the FDA suddenly found reasons why everyone had to halt all progress. Oxford? Well, one person in a totally different trial in the UK may have had a bad reaction. They’re fine now and the UK authorities allowed your trial to continue there, but how about we just hold you up for another month or two? Everyone else? Well hang on, we’ve got a whole new set of rules for trials. And we need to implement them right now. And you’ll need to halt all your trials and follow this whole new set of rules we’re making up on the spot. Good luck!
