Former Vice President Joe Biden welcomed new about advances toward a coronavirus vaccine Monday but said that it would be many more months before it was widely available, and warned Americans to continue wearing masks.

In a statement, Biden said:
Last night, my public health advisors were informed of this excellent news. I congratulate the brilliant men and women who helped produce this breakthrough and to give us such cause for hope.
At the same time, it is also important to understand that the end of the battle against COVID-19 is still months away. This news follows a previously announced timeline by industry officials that forecast vaccine approval by late November. Even if that is achieved, and some Americans are vaccinated later this year, it will be many more months before there is widespread vaccination in this country.
This is why the head of the CDC warned this fall that for the foreseeable future, a mask remains a more potent weapon against the virus than the vaccine. Todays news does not change this urgent reality. Americans will have to rely on masking, distancing, contact tracing, hand washing, and other measures to keep themselves safe well into next year. Todays news is great news, but it doesnt change that fact.
America is still losing over 1,000 people a day from COVID-19, and that number is rising and will continue to get worse unless we make progress on masking and other immediate actions. That is the reality for now, and for the next few months. Todays announcement promises the chance to change that next year,

What the hec is wrong with Biden?
The vaccine will be mass produced, distributed by the military and available in weeks due to the actions of President Trump.
I don’t think Biden, as an inmate, will have as much freedom to choose between medical treatments.
The man had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of the vaccine and he is going to try to take the credit for it.
“We’re gonna lock your ass down, America. Vaccine or no vaccine.”
This kind of talk will help the recount.
The vaccines are ready in storage already.
Thanks to Trump. He decided to pay companies to make the vaccines before they were approved. Parallel development - modern project management method.
If Biden was in charge we would be waiting two more years!
If Biden takes office on 20 January 2021, then he will transfer vaccine distribution responsibilities to bureaucrats who operate with the same speed as those who count votes in the City of New York. While the sane, Republican parts of the country mostly get it done overnight if not even more quickly, the Democrats in the City of New York dawdle for more than two months to count the Democrat primary ballots. They soon can bring that degree of efficiency and hustle to vaccine distribution.
And the media will go along. What I would like to know, is how he knows what Pfizer is doing? This proves COVID has been nothing but a political game.
Dont celebrate - stay locked down comrades and obey your superiors.
And the coup continues.
So, right on schedule for the Jan 21 declaration the vaccine is ready, national crisis over.
All hail President Magoo!
SLOW JOE,
always in his basement, keeping help from reaching the women and minorities who need it most.
Got to assert that authority, huh, BidenIdiot by mandating a nationwide mask wearing?
GTFO usurper.
It would have been all over the place
Biden wasn’t going to ban travel from COMMUNIST CHINA
‘Xenophobic” he told us
He would have sat on his lazy ass in his basement
He’s evil and incompetent
I noticed Biden made a point of not congratulating President Trump for making this all possible! Biden is a self centered fool.
I am at the head of the line (as a COVID doctor), and I sure hope the Dems don’t f*** this up out of spite.
Would not surprise me, though. Not one bit.
"Attempted" coup -- so far.
Pleased as punch to have such a general as we have, though. He fears nothing and no one. He's moved mountains before, and he will do it again.
I thpught Joe said he was kin d and will do everything he can for the People.
This statement makes Joe Biden an enemy of the People.The smack down of freedom has already begun IMHO.
This position will allow Joe to give the Vaccine to Democrats and he will likely let Republicans die of the disease.
Very bad stuff by Biden here. His bipartisan plea is aa consummate act of propaganda.
As soon as Biden can figure a way for his family to get a cut.
