JUST IN: The Moderna vaccine is 94.5% effective against coronavirus, according to early data released by the company, making it the second vaccine in the US to have a stunningly high success rate.

"These are obviously very exciting results," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease doctor."It's just as good as it gets -- 94.5% is truly outstanding." Moderna heard its results on a call Sunday afternoon with members of the Data Safety and Monitoring Board, an independent panel analyzing Moderna's clinical trial data.

Moderna's vaccine can be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Other vaccines, such as the one against chickenpox, need to be kept at that temperature. That means Moderna's vaccine can be kept in"a readily available freezer that is available in most doctors' offices and pharmacies," Zacks said."We leverage infrastructure that already exists for other marketed vaccines.

I am not 100 percent sure I will get it; don't trust anything from Trump.

They shouldnt give the vaccine to Americans since they are terrorist erdogans best friend. Never once cared about what is happening to armenians. Until they RecognizeArtsakh sanctionazerbedjan sanctionturkey and maybe FINALLY accept ArmenianGenocide usa only uses us

SpencerJCox

Go ArmenianWarCrimes

Gracias Bill y quédate con tu vacuna, jodele la vida a oteos

So the next candidate will announce a 96% effectiveness. 😁

Is there vaccine on how to fight terrorism like terrorist countries Turkey and Erdogan ?

Moderna is Armenian owned shame on youuuuu

Thank you, realDonaldTrump !!

PLEASE DONT GIVE VACCINES TO MULLAS IN IRAN.

Thank you Trump

SpencerJCox Ugh. You retweet CNN.

Another accomplishment of Trump, operation WARPspeed

True enough it’s Americans screwing Americans

just amazes how people dont find this weird.. week after election and a declared winner we now have a vaccine... No question asked..just take it up the arss

Curious how all these positive vaccine reports release days after the election 🤔

Pfizer 90% data was that 90% of patients on drug did not catch Covid within 7 days. Let us wait to see what the numbers really are after 3 months. I suspect this data set is 7 days as well. It will drop. Just hoping it stays over 75%

Must have hurt like hell for you fake news 'Chinese News Network' to swallow the bitter pill of inadvertently admitting Trump's a man of his word and a bonified badass. Think Biden would have pulled it off? :)

Fake news fake pharma total control population control

This is great news, but while we wait for the distribution next year, lets get through this winter with clean, safe air in our homes! GetCleanAir

94.5% you say? The flu vaccines are what? 40-60% effective assuming they spin the wheel and come up with the ones that are in circulation. Poor Pfizer could only get to 'near' 90% but at least they got to manipulate the share price and cash out with the announcement.

Cnn

I think numbers are just tossed out without and proof and a lot of people will believe them

Thank you President Trump!

The immune system is near 97%

First the Europeans with 90% efficacy but needs to be kept at -90C, now the Americans with 95% efficacy and only need to be storage -5C. Bet with anyone that the Russians will come next with a vaccine in a gift box available next week.

Side Effects😳😳😳😳 Helps one thing, but does it cause damage to any other organs?👀👀👀

Jdjfjtu55utututtutjgjjgjgjgjgjgjjgjgjfjgjjfjjj

MARRY ME ILYYYTYYY FDJAJFKJKFJAJFJ

And still won't take it just like the flu shots

Odds of dying: Car Accident - 1 in 106 Sunstroke - 1 in 7,770 Covid (Age 54 and under) - 1 in 12,706 Covid_19 Covid covid19

Why don't they all work this hard for other diseases? Do cancer next!

Only last for 3-4 months. 3 doses: 4 times a year: 12 doses a person annually

100% effective is my threshold. No thanks, I'll wait.

I love scientists. 🤤

After three doses

Does it reduce disease transmission? Or mean that the infected person does not get especially ill, but can still give it to others?

The Russians are going to come out and say their Sputnik vaccine is 96.5% effective.

Moderna uses a live Monkey Virus as the agent to deliver their mRNA Covid19 vaccine's instruction set into a human's immunity system. Doesn't this strike anyone as a nightmare parallel to the newer Planet of the Apes movie dispections?

Thank you realDonaldTrump and Project Warp Speed! Promises made, promises kept. Best President in my lifetime bar none.

Are you seriously suggesting we use a vaccine that Trump could possibly have something to do with? Seriously? Have you lost your minds? Have you abandoned the party you've worked so hard to get elected? How can we trust that we won't get poisoned?

Against 🐀🇨🇳🤢🇨🇳🐀

Moderna is fooling the people go look up past history. The fastest a vaccine ever created was 4 yrs and I don't think it was 94.5% effective? This vaccine got created in 1 yrs or less and it is 94.5% effective than the 4 yrs old one? Good luck selling this lack of common sense.

Uh, will I have to accept a letter from Donald Trump stating that he developed the vaccine, before I qualify for it?

I'm sure their Share Holders are happy. ...but I prefer my vaccine to come from a company that has taken a drug to Phase 3 trials. Not one that keeps getting money for... nothing...

🇨🇳☣😷😈💉🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑☠☠☠☠☠☠

So a vaccine that is 94.5% effective against a virus that has a 99% survival rate? Gotcha.

And long term side effects? Unknown. It takes years to safely develop something like this.

Thank you science, even though we refuse to listen ti your advise when it's inconvenient to do so, and actively run our own little experiments on Tik Tok because we think we are smarter than you.

“Moderna's vaccine can be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius, which is about minus 68 agrees Fahrenheit.” cnn, you may want to double check you C to F conversion math. lol

Forgive me if I'm not excited about a vaccine that is 95% effective against a virus that is 99% ineffective in killing anyone.

Just remember everyone last time everyone thought Hillary won until we had the electoral vote that is happening on Dec 13 hang tight everyone

Side effects also needed2care.

Here we go everyone and their Mother is an expert! I can hear all the crazy comments coming... Im an expert, studied my PHD in the comments section of twitter.....

They didn't fund this

How far up my arms should I wash? Does the virus choose to stop at the wrists or does someone have the exact measurements, does it it depend on my star sign because I'm a scorpio

And Trump had nothing to do with this, either.

The FIRST US vaccine.

Thank you, President Trump!

The media is disappointed by this because they wanted to scare more people by showing this wasn’t working and “We’re all gonna die!!!”

My kid and I will take a hard pass on this. God only knows what kind of side effects or long term effects that this vaccine will cause. No thanks. I'll take our chances by doing what we've been doing.

And the CEO and management sells all of their shares tomorrow lol

👀 I’m seeing people being labeled as “anti-vaxxers” already... why do some people fear the vaccine? shoptalk

That’s if you believe anything coming from US any more. Does Trump say it works? Yes?........then it probably doesn’t......

so the US is selling possibly fake vaccine but snake oil always did do well, until people leaned to read and think - so should do well in the USA.

What's the first one. pfzer is German.

Produced by a company with their noses so far up DJT's ass... Nope. Pharmaceutical companies say a lot of crap - all designed to improve their stocks. Stick with Pfizer, they are the only ones that's remained independent of the death king.

Both of these vaccines in the news need to be kept at -20C so widespread distribution will be extra challenging even though some other vaccines have the same requirement.

Efficacy is not the same thing as effectiveness! The former refers to performance in the lab, which I think is what the media is referring to.

Can’t wait for all the Twitter scientists to tell me about what they really think

Be the first in line to be a guinea pig you sheep

Well, ModeRNA's actually the first 'US' vaccine. The vaccine that will be distributed by Pfizer was created by BioNTech in Germany. Both use a similar mRNA technology.

Which could be better? Pfizer or Moderna?

Thank god for trumps covid response. And they said it couldn't be done!!!!!!!!

First Non-white to hold a Travel Guinness World Records.

Woohoo! We finally got a vaccine for the Common Cold. Which pharmaceutical companies said was impossible less than a year ago. Com'on Man! Why did it take a over hyped cold and flu season to finally get a vaccine? Maybe because it wasn't profitable before Covid19. COVID19

Surprised to see this biased organization reporting this result, especially without claiming that Biden arranged it even though he spent most of the last year hiding in his basement.

Roll the sucker out..get this thing under control so we can go back to normal life.

People having weak immunity due to less exposure to dust or other pollutants ,this causes serious impact on body by corona virus .Body's cells failed to fight against foreign molecules that's why western worlds population affected by covid a lot.

Something fishy with this disease. Normally takes years to produce a vaccine and all of a sudden we have 2 within a year that are 90% effective. It’s like someone knew about this before. Not sure how I feel about taking this.

Only the feeble-minded trust a Bill Gates criminal company.There is never a safe vaccine !

test it on don lemon and anderson cooper

Trump is about to reset the entire world. GOD BLESS realDonaldTrump

stop promoting the plan-demic hoax. Communist News Network. Do a story about how your owned by a Israeli.

Thanks Trump

Go go go go

Is anyone else anyone else noticing CNN is starting to report news? 😂😂😂😂 TRUMPWILLTRIUMPH

Does it work long term or do folks need more shots?

Thank you, realDonaldTrump! WarpSpeed PromisesMadePromisesKept

This vaccine doesnt require refrigeration!!!

Data released by the company? Oh I'm all over that! Not!

Can't wait. Moderna and Pfizer will save lives. Looking forward to 'normal' times again next summer.

This is based on a study of 90 people. This is not scientific and its irresponsible of these companies to be making such claims on such minimal data.

Of course it is 94.5% effective, because if it was 85% effective, everyone would defer to the Pfizer vaccine... How can we trust the pharmaceutical industry? They can find a vaccine in 8 months and still no cure for cancer or any stds...🤔

“Company data”? Sorry, hard pass. Wake me up when more than one independent organization corroborates that claim.

Go trump!

Covid-19 vaccines companies claiming the effectiveness of the vaccines should shows only the difference w.r.t immunity developed by direct infection. Because even in 60-90% of the cases Virus direct infection can create immunity (with minor sickness sometimes).

Wow that’s incredible

The smallpox vaccine was created around 1796 and it wasn't until 1950 that the disease was effectively eradicated around the world. This news leaves scepticism.

I will take my immune system that will be 99.6% effective against fighting Covid. Nice try...

Thank you President Trump

It's a miracle... And to think they only known about this virus a few month?! Hmmm. Imagine that.

Not taking any vaccine that hasn’t been studied for years

.

Great news! Let’s hang in there, help protect each other while keeping economic activity going as much as possible, and then get vaccinated when vaccines are ultimately approved and available.

The virus is 90% effective against the virus. 90% never have a single symptom and develop some level of immunity. About 7% have mild side effects of the virus.

The vaccine was created by a Turkish couple in Germany whose research company, Moderna, did not take US money for the research. Trump had nothing to do with this!.These two scientists were successful long before 2020.

Good Trump

No Aids, no real effective flu, no common cold vaccines but corona!!! We can beat that in less than a year.

Moderna = Modify RNA ...no thanks

That’s almost as high as the Covid survival rate

'The analysis was based on the first 95 to develop Covid-19 symptoms.' mmm, you'd think they allow for a few more to ensure the results are robust...

Great news validating Pfizer vaccine. It appears Russian vaccine Sputnik V 92% effective rate wasn’t just a tall claim🤔maybe our western scientists too easily cast skepticism.

Why does these effective rate reports from Pharmas release right before the Market opens ? 🤔

Patiently waiting for Russia to announce their vaccine is now 95.2% effective /S

All thanks to president Trump for the push to get a vaccine on time... MAGA2020

Now, can we get a vaccine to combat the Trump Virus?

IM NOT TAKING DIS SH*T

Those are Great news! But we need it fast! I dont have a clue on who's depending the speed of mass production of this vaccine, but just hurry up!

Is it 94.5% effective at preventing people from contracting COVID19? Or does it cure 94.5% of people who are already infected with the virus?

Maryam_Bilal another oneer

Anti vaxers last year: YOU WILL NEVER GIVE MY KID THAT MEASLES VACCINE! IT COULD HAVE SIDE AFFECTS!!!! Anti vaxers this year: GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY I WANT THE TOTALLY UNTESTED UNPROVEN COVID VACCINE!!!!!!!

Steedafied0906

What are the side effects that’s what I want to know

Another victory for realDonaldTrump the American people and the entire world. Strange how this positive information regarding two successful vaccines is prompltly released after the election. Coincidence or merely another statistical anomaly? FoxNews

😂😂😂😂😂

They announce something unproven and their stock increases. Hmmmmmm.

if they dont know how the Covid works ' or how it was made ' how do they know its effective against Covid & the different DNA Characteristics to over billions of different people .

False. Studies purporting to prove the vaccine’s efficacy aren’t even *examining* its effect on death rates, hospitalization rates, or transmissibility. They’re only looking at its effect on symptoms. Why wd anyone get such a vaccine? Learn more here:

Shame it’s extremely dangerous and untested. Won’t be getting it. Very bad

They gonna inject you with coronavirus

But let’s shut the country down and not get it first

This timing is oh so convenient

Donatog87 immichaelmoore

Oh yes, hope.

You really have to be stuck on stupid to even consider vax! Humans are thee worst animals ever 🤢🤮

Give it to billgates and his family and all of rich people with billions of dollars and politicians. We need to get rid of those. Oh all CNN workers too

billgates have shares in Moderna, the vaccine should be further investigated. covide19 fightcorruption

Moderna is a good stock

Thank you realDonaldTrump for making us safe again. And for preventing the deaths of millions of Americans in the time of crisis.

jaketapper elizcohencnn The electronic voting machines in my eye are no different than a Vegas slot machine programmed so the house (Deep State) always wins.

Thank you operation warp speed. Wouldn’t be possible without that.

Seriously I wouldn’t trust anything from warp speed. I’m sure Trump pressured all the way to the top. Trumpet would let EVERY AMERICAN DIE if it meant he won a second term. Don’t believe me... let it happen... lol. Thank GOD IM CANADIAN, we could use a bigger backyard

jaketapper elizcohencnn Let’s hope!

jaketapper elizcohencnn OperationWarpSpeed is a success.

elizcohencnn Nope. If Alex Azar is out pushing it as an accomplishment of the Trump program, I'm not even thinking of taking it.

jaketapper elizcohencnn Interesting what are the long term side effects? Oh they have no idea because they just started studying this less then 1 year ago? Interesting where do i sign up I would love to be a guinea pig

These are very scary times. Tooting vaccines that haven't really been tested that well and not knowing the long term effects of such vaccines. But fearful of acquiring the virus if not. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Like, it protecting you from covid but cause cancer?

thank you POTUS

5/95 people got the actual drug; 90 received a placebo. 4 me, moderna_tx has NOT completed a study large enough 2 PROVE the 94.5% inoculation rate it’s reporting. 10s of 1000s need 2b in a study w/fewer than half getting a placebo w/same results b4 I sign up 4 their vaccine.

juanar77 Liliana17027672

elizcohencnn Even with this stunning news, you guys are still locking down, I wonder if you’d had none. By the way, these guys deliberately declined coming out to announce these efforts which the Trump administration supported prior to the elections. You guys are Fake and ugly. MAGA

elizcohencnn I know how this is breaking news I’ve known about this for BEFORE ELECTION weeks. Perhaps if you listen to other news programs outside of America you would get the news

elizcohencnn This is awesome news! Sadly, we have 60+ days until someone who believes in science takes office. At the current rate and lack of response from governors like GovParsonMO we will have another 9M infected and lose another 65k friends & family.

elizcohencnn emcleans .

elizcohencnn somebody is selling his stock now

elizcohencnn Thanks trump

elizcohencnn 💀 oh ok how is trump vaccine going

elizcohencnn Waiting for this fuck-storm to begin... anti-maskers are most likely anti-vaxxers ... all with a death wish on themselves and on others

elizcohencnn And the stunningly low death rate of the coronavirus is .05% 🙄

elizcohencnn Yes...but have they said what the side effects are likely to be ?

elizcohencnn I have no upper teeth. I no longer have bone to hold the dentures. I find it difficult to chew food. I need an implants. Please help. Implant cost: 23 thousand dollars. You can make a donation to the account 5197964611 Lydia Sarmiento. Wells Fargo Bank. Please. Thank you.

elizcohencnn As we inject everyone with the virus, does that count to the daily cases count? I'm sure it does, anything is on the table to make a certain someone look bad

elizcohencnn Capeeesh gon and take it

elizcohencnn Don't get too over excited they won't ge out for another few months

elizcohencnn Good news for the world!

Lets see how many stocks are sold by Moderna executives today.

Thank you, Trump!

Wow! Well done!

How much stake has Trump got in the company?

Wonderful news

Great news

I’m all for a vaccine but I hesitate because it’s not been given years of time to see if it effective and for how long. If it was available tomorrow I would not get it.

94% effective 99% of the population don’t need it But 100% of Big Pharma will profit 🤔 Don’t be fooled. This is all part of BuildBackBetter And TheGreatReset

Fantastic news. Mask up, people! The end is in sight!

My immune system is 100% effective thanks.

Temperature constraints worrisome. How long after thawing and mixing in warm weather before vaccine becomes less effective. Talk at a V.A. is that could be administered outside, drive thru... Still, bring it on. Yeah

Lol...they are churning out vaccines like orange juice now😂

DaniNovarama Necesitamos actualización de tu hilo si no es mucho pedir 🙏🏻 Gracias!

Gloria a Dios y a nuestros grandes científicos

'These are obviously very exciting results,' Dr. Anthony Fauci said. 'It's just as good as it gets — 94.5% is truly outstanding.'

I hope it has really cool side effects.

Trump getting ready to take credit

The political landscape is foggy An article that simply lists the global political landscape

All thanks to TRUMP

More good news please(((

They will put anything they can because they know sheeple will fall for it.

Ooh thank God

This is all fraudulent! All these companies all the sudden have a almost perfect cure? Sounds more like a STOCK BOOST SCAM! I hope it’s real but doesn’t feel legit!

The first one isn't a US vaccine...it was developed in Germany. Try harder CNN.

This vaccine is a hoax.

Your immune system is effective 99.9% of the time against Covid so I’m good.

U dont need business peoole in Covid board. We dont have them...business and economist people dont understand science.. Leave Biden alone hes not done appointing people right now he is not accessing any transition paperwork stop critizing wont be a vaccine till 2021

Company says. What does independent research say?

This shit bout to be like I Am Legend

I’m not taking it until all the testing on prisoners is done.

Does no one here care about the long lasting side effects Anyone in my circles or customers tell me they are not getting it.. not enough evidence to support how it can effect long term.. use your head people!! Wait until its a proven vaccine

The second US vaccine? The first one was created by a German scientist for a German company that subcontracts for Pfizer. How is that American?

thank you very much for your work

are these claims peer reviewed or self published like the pfizer one?

It may be a mistake to release this information prematurely! Ppl are not understanding the time still involved before anyone from the general public will benefit from any vaccine. Ppl are throwing their hands up believing all is well, no need to continue precautions! Not good!

This is a Big blow to Pfizer. AlbertBourla what will you do?

There is a reason that these announcements are made on Monday morning. These companies are gaming the stock markets. A major correction, this would be the first US vaccine. Pfizer's is a German vaccine.

Isint the death rate currently without a vaccine less than 5%

I've seen many sci-fi movies where genetic changes to a cell as a cure to a virus causes side effects months later. I'm going to sit and wait to see what happens... not because I believe something will happen... but because I want to see if it does to others first.

TRUMP IS WORKING!!!!!!!
