Great news! Can't wait for all The Journal staff to get theirs. All the hard work promoting the pandemic should mean they're first in line to get their reward.
Misleading headline alert!🚨only 95 confirmed cases in the trial, so the 94.5% effective stat quoted is only based on only 95 participants, NOT 30,000. You cant extrapolate data based on less than 100 people for a vaccine intended for an entire population.
We're nearly at the 'Immune system effective levels'.... Still 5.something % to go!! I'll take my chances anyway thanks 🤔🥴
