Finally...Finally...At long last!
It's official: The FDA's bureaucrats & hacks formally granted emergency approval for Pfizer and BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine candidate Friday night. The first shots will go to health care workers and residents and staff of long-term care facilities. There are an incredible 21 million health care workers in the US. So, many are already waiting for stage two. Other nations such as the UK and Bahrain have already approved the vaccine. It took a little last minute arm twisting to get the FDA to put their stamp of approval on it.
FDA top hack: Dr Stephen Hahn
Pfizer announced that its coronavirus vaccine was 95 percent effective, though it does have painful side effects and must be taken in 2 doses. Thus 40,000 doses = 20,000 people.
Next up will be the Moderna vaccine candidate.
There is now a light at the end of the tunnel.

BTW the President has also made it free and prioritized for Americans.
No pictures or cartoons
Can you imagine how bad off at this point we would be if HRC had won?
Let me guess...We'd have two million dead and Hillary would be talking of war with China and the media would be comparing her to FDR?
My guess is that the CCP wouldn't have unleashed the virus on us and the world, because HRC would have given them whatever they wanted (just like Biden will do, if sworn in).
Do you think China intentionally infected the planet??
A ham sandwich could have done a better job than Trump. An HRC administration would not have downplayed the virus, lied to the American people about its severity and ridiculed mask wearing and social distancing so we'd likely not have even hit 100,000 deaths by this point. Instead we had a monumental failure of response to this pandemic which has cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of Americans their lives, all because of a feckless inept moron in the white house. Anyone "imagining" it would have been worse under HRC should have their heads checked for CTE.
It is difficult to imagine any administration past Harding (of past presidents or presidential candidates) downplaying precautions against a pandemic.
Democrats won the presidential election. There is no need to attempt to guess what would have happened. We only need look at what a few democrat governors did with nursing homes.
I can't imagine any administration whipping the American public into a panic. Not even Jimmy Carter.
Where do you see me advocating any administration whipping the American public into a panic? There are not two choices: downplay or panic. The obvious approach for a PotUS who thought more about the American people than his ego would be to encourage the use of standard precautions, to continue a practice of education on the pandemic, to encourage the public that we will endure hardships but if we work together we will get through this, and then to provide support to the governors to help them take appropriate actions in their states to manage this pandemic. The PotUS should set the example, inform, calm and lead.
Do you approve of Trump's downplaying of the pandemic ... giving millions false excuses for not taking basic precautions?
You? I thought you were telling us what other presidents would have done? Do tell...How do you know?
How did Wilson handle the “Spanish flu” of 1918 and 1919?

TiG it was a campaign narrative! Are you telling us that you believed that Trump didn't do what Dr Fauci and the doctors, who knew practically nothing about this virus, told him to do? Who recommended the shutdown?
Do you approve of Trump's downplaying of the pandemic .
Downplaying? I lived through it. I saw what was done and what was spent on it. I doubt the winner of the 2020 election could have done anything different. In fact, he just made the same doctor his chief Medical Advisor
You replied to my comment on downplaying and asked me about the other extreme.
Really? Where do you read this? Here, Vic, read again (or, likely, the first time) what I actually wrote:
It was a one-sentence comment. The phrase 'difficult to imagine' is not the same as 'would have done'.
Wilson predated Harding. Do you not see the explicit reference to Harding in my one-sentence post? Every PotUS after Wilson (Harding onward) had the knowledge of the Spanish Flu and the impact of a pandemic.
Further, do you approve of Wilson downplaying the Spanish flu? If not, then you certainly should disprove of Trump doing so with COVID-19. What, exactly, is your point?
You know full well that Trump downplayed the pandemic. The fact that he took actions to counter its spread does not erase the fact that he downplayed the virus throughout the year. Even after he recovered from his own infection. You noticed all of this, right?
You deny Trump downplayed the pandemic?? Good grief man. Repeating what I think any responsible PotUS should have done:
A whole lot could have been done if Trump had not trashed the pandemic playbook simply because it was authored by the Obama administration.
It is such a priority to him that he turned down one million additional doses.
Yes, good news! We've reached the most difficult stage of the pandemic because now great patience will be required. There are a lot of healthcare workers and vulnerable people around the world. There are a lot of essential workers in this country and around the world. They, too, need consideration.
I look forward to being vaccinated. But I also know that I need to wait. We really do have many heroes among us and they should be vaccinated first.
Can you imagine - we have an estimated 21 Million people working in various forms of Health care!
