Pfizer Announces 90 percent efficacy in vaccine trials

They are telling us to keep wearing our masks. It just makes sense. Why stop wearing it just because there "may" be a vaccine on the horizon? The vaccine hasn't gotten into our bodies yet!

And it sure ain't gonna do you any good if you are already dead from covid!

Yes, and the "F" in FDA stands for Fraud.
"The fact that the FDA relies upon drug company money is absolutely insane. This has to be a completely separate agency where the people are not tied in any way, shape or form to the products they're reviewing."

I 100%, whole-heartedly agree!

It truly is an insult to the people.

My opinion is the "F" stand for criminals.

A vaccine can't come soon enough. However, it will be many months before enough people are inoculated to make any real difference. If the recent reports hold true, this Holiday season may be the most dangerous period of time so far. I expect we will be cancelling this years Thanksgiving within the next few days, and the family Christmas may be 50/50 at best.

Hooray, let's hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel!

Perfect Sunny. Like many things in life, there's no guarantee but it seems a better move than just sitting on our hands and hoping for the best. Differing situations and responsibilities will probably factor into the "when and if" people will volunteer for this new vaccine.

Their reputation though is a very tough form of regulation.

Their reputation though is a very tough form of regulation.

And that's the sad part about it.

I guess it all depends on what angle you're looking at them from.

You're not telling me they gave you a less than satisfactory examination?

I'm telling you I don't trust the FDA.

Do you have one particular case in mind, (the excessive opioid use perhaps?)?

No specific cases to mention.
