Scientists have reacted positively - and cautiously - to the news on Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine

A VACCINE JOINTLY developed by Pfizer and BioNTech was 90% effective in preventing Covid-19 infections in ongoing Phase 3 trials, the companies has announced today, exceeding the expectations of experts.

“The first set of results from our Phase 3 Covid-19 vaccine trial provides the initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent Covid-19,” Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement. Two Russian Covid-19 vaccines have been registered for use even before clinical trials were completed, but have not been widely accepted outside of Russia.

Michael Head, Senior Research Fellow in Global Health, University of Southampton, called it an “excellent result for a first generation vaccine”.

There no such thing as office of President Elect....

Plenty of Lies ahead

Joe shilling for BigPHARMA straight off the bat. Tells you all you need to know.

So a rushed Vaccine bypassing most development and testing protocols is the sudden cure. How will this affect people years down the line. Remember 99% are asymptomatic and show no symptoms during this Casedemic. Thalidomide and other drugs that failed and their consequences. 🙄🙄

Fair play to the Germans. 👏
