CDC Tells States to Prepare for Vaccine by Early November

The CDC has notified public health officials in all 50 states and five large cities to prepare to distribute a coronavirus vaccine to health care workers and other high-risk groups “as soon as late October or early November,” the New York Times reports.

“The new CDC guidance is the latest sign of an accelerating race for a vaccine to greatly ease a pandemic that has killed more than 184,000 Americans.”

And you don't need to worry your little head about safety! If it's unsafe and ineffective, we'll just unapprove it! Just like we decided to unapprove hydroxychloroquine!"

Remember the Swine Flu.

As a critical care nurse I spent a lot of time taking care of Guillain-Barré Syndrome patients. Their causes were not vaccines but the swine flu vaccine caused quite a few of these cases. It may not be associated with a lot of cases but if taking a vaccine that has not been tested as much as it should might possibly cause this I will pass.

I pass helping Trump. We all know that it does not matter if a lot of people sicken and/or die from it, it will be his gift to us. Nobody can say he did not try to help us. Bull, not gonna do it.

I cannot believe they are going to give it to heath care workers. What if they don't want it? Good lord if there is anyone we need in larger numbers not smaller numbers it is health care workers.

early November. That timing should hold us through The whole flu season and may help not getting a killer double whammy of getting both viruses.

China bashing and trump's reelection are so much more important than a safe vaccine.

By the way, that new health care plan Trump promised to unveil to the nation in two weeks is now about five weeks overdue. The administration has a bit of a credibility problem.

The trump government cannot be trusted, and the rest of the world snickers at this news as we snickered at putin. Truly sad, because we could have led on this and instead we look like idiots and tens of thousands of people are dead.
