The "Trump has it" thread should without question be unlocked. That front and center story is far from being closed, and of course has implications as large as any other for millions of people, vaccine or not.

This thread is going to be an "interesting look back" item one day down the road...
It started w/ 79pmooney posting up about Novavax on July 07. Take a look at their subsequent stock price history:
7/06/20: 79.44
7/07/20: 104.56
8/10/20: 178.51
9/10/20: 92.86
yesterday: 110.17 ... yes, these are the guys to whom the taxpayers handed 1.6 BILLION DOLLARS. yeah, a billion. one company, here's a billion - no, make it 1.6 - yes, take it.
Hope is not a strategy (actually, she's a superspreader at 1600 PA Ave).

Putting that $1.6B number in perspective ... it is less than 1/10,000th of the US economy ($21.44 trillion dollars).

At least we could say "that's bad optics for a company that has not made a profit in the last ELEVEN years." (SEC Form 4 filings).
Apparently, there are now 7 vaccines with development being paid for by the US?
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...es/5575206002/
I have no idea which or any of the vaccines under development will succeed (if any), just as the military doesn't know that any of the cost-plus contracts will pan out to a weapon that will work. That doesn't mean that paying for the development is a bad risk, or that the money was wasted. But if the money is just used to line the pockets of the companies involved ... yea ... jail time is in order.

As Pfizer is blinded to who received the vaccine versus the placebo, a committee of independent scientists will review the complete data and they will inform us if the vaccine is effective or not based on predetermined criteria at key interim analysis points throughout the trial.
Still, positive news, lets keep our fingers crossed.

In China there is a large demand for an unapproved vaccine that is still in trials.
I wonder if a significant portion of the Chinese public are anti-vaxers like in North America? Somehow I doubt it
https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/10...emand-in-china
The eastern Chinese city of Yiwu has stopped the sale of a coronavirus vaccine after dozens of people demanded to be inoculated over the weekend, underlining the popularity of the treatment that has not even completed late-stage clinical trials.
Hundreds of people in Yiwu stood in line for a coronavirus vaccine after the government opened up bookings to the general public, the BBC reported on Sunday. The local government had said on Friday it would allow people to be vaccinated on an “emergency use” basis, a day after the neighboring city of Jiaxing announced the same.

The local government had said on Friday it would allow people to be vaccinated on an “emergency use” basis, a day after the neighboring city of Jiaxing announced the same.
The high demand for the vaccine in China highlights the potential shortfall that local governments could face once a treatment is approved. Unlike in the United States — where a growing number of polls have found that many people would not get a coronavirus vaccine in part because they feel the Trump administration is pushing for its approval before fully weighing the safety and efficacy data — many people in China are flocking to get one.
China has indicated it would expand the number of “emergency users” for a vaccination program, saying it plans to target people at higher risk of being exposed to the virus such as travelers and health care workers. Tens of thousands of people have already been vaccinated, including government officials and executives of vaccine companies.

Moderna will analyze how well the vaccine is working when 53 people in its Phase 3 study develop symptomatic cases of COVID-19, the Journal reported. That analysis is expected to take place in November, though the exact timing is tough to predict “because it depends on the cases, the number of people getting sick,” Bancel said.
However, it’s possible that the vaccine won’t be deemed effective enough when the initial data is analyzed next month, the paper reported. Moderna would then reportedly conduct a second analysis when 106 people get sick with the coronavirus.

If it isn't clear cut they will wait until they have 106 cases.

Nobody is being given " an unpredictable virus." Not sure what you mean by this, but no vaccine program involves injecting people with Covid-19. Basically, the vaccines are viruses that produce the CV-19 protein or cause your cells to produce that protein. The theory is that the immune system will develop antibodies that attack that protein. The protein is not the part of the COVID-19 virus that causes the harm. .
