Oil markets surged in the hours after Pfizer announced positive results from its coronavirus vaccine study.Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee is meeting to discuss Pfizer'sDuring the meeting, one person who was part of Pfizer's study said he believes the vaccine should receive emergency use authorization immediately to help save lives during the pandemic.

"I understand the concerns about whether or not people will trust the vaccines, but there will always be some holdouts," Fein said during the hearing. "Most Americans will take the vaccine voluntarily, as long as we're honest, don't talk down to them, and treat them like autonomous adults."Evan Fein can't know for sure, but he is pretty certain he got Pfizer's experimental coronavirus vaccine about five months ago.

If Pfizer's shot is granted an emergency use authorization by the FDA, it would be the first vaccine in use in the US for the pandemic. Fein compared the pandemic's devastation to another American tragedy: the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. He noted the daily death toll from the virus now exceeds the number of lives lost on 9/11.
