C.D.C. Tells States How to Prepare for Covid-19 Vaccine by Early November

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 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 C.D.C. 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. The documents were sent out on the same day that President Trump told the nation in his speech to the Republican National Convention that a vaccine might arrive before the end of the year.

Over the past week, both Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the country’s top infectious disease expert, and Dr. Stephen Hahn, who heads the Food and Drug Administration, have said in interviews with news organizations that a vaccine could be available for certain groups before clinical trials have been completed, if the data is overwhelmingly positive.

Public health experts agree that agencies at all levels of government should urgently prepare for what will eventually be a vast, complex effort to vaccinate hundreds of millions of Americans. But the possibility of a rollout in late October or early November has also heightened concerns that the Trump administration is seeking to rush the distribution of a vaccine — or simply to hype that one is possible — before Election Day on Nov. 3.

1. i'm not your fucking guinea pig

i talked to a co worker this morning and this subject came up.

even former CDC officials said if they were black they wouldn't take this unproven vaccine.

[Bigredhunk]

3. Yup

This

[bucolic_frolic]

2. It's a vaccine rumor mill for 5 days before the election, they'd use Jim Comey if he were available

Don't believe a word the Republicans say, you're getting played big time

[Bigredhunk]

4. And

This too.

[DeminPennswoods]

5. Just read that Fauci thinks there will be a vaccine

approved by the end of the calendar year. That's past Nov in case anyone wonders.

[Botany]

6. I have to fix the headline C.D.C.

C.D.C. Tells States How to Prepare for Covid-19 IF THERE IS A Vaccine by Early November

There will be no vaccine by early November .... we don't have one now and God only knows
how long it will take for real clinical trials.

BTW this is the same CDC that told scientists @ the University of Washington and Seattle's
Department of Health after they found the 1st case of C-19 to stop testing for it and not to
tell anybody that they found it too.

[End Of The Road]

7. I'll submit to a hasty vaccine.... at gunpoint. Nt

[davsand]

8. I'll sign up for it just as soon as I see Ivanka take one...And survive for a couple weeks after.

Once I see her take one I'll feel a lot better about even considering having it. He wont give a crap if any of his other kids has it--or his wife--but it must be safe for the princess or for him.

Just sayin.

14. It would

be a placebo or water she gets. She won’t get the vaccine until it’s proven safe. Maybe she will get it while in prison.

[yaesu]

9. an election rush job, I will not take any vaccine while tRump is in charge. nt

[bluestarone]

10. With these fucking people it wouldn't surprise me if

They forced this on kids, In order to attend school! Use Kids as their guinea pigs.

[Miguelito Loveless]

11. I would sooner share a needle with Keith Richards

than take a vaccine developed at Trump's behest.

[jeffreyi]

16. ++++1!

[Danmel]

20. That is so funny

[paleotn]

22. Ha!!!

But whatever Keith is on, it's the goddamn fountain of youth. He's immortal.

[Miguelito Loveless]

25. Apparently, "hair-o-in" keeps you alive and prevents baldness

[drray23]

26. on the other hand, you may end up with some of his dna

which of course will grant you immortality.

[LuckyLib]

12. Every agency in a Dumpf government has been compromised.

Sorry, don’t trust anything out of CDC, HHS, “Homeland Security” etc.

[Rebl2]

13. Big

mistake

[durablend]

15. "Heightened concerns....of a rush distribution"

Noooooooooooooo, can't be! They would never! Unpossible!

[bullwinkle428]

17. "I'LL RELEASE THE VACCINE AS SOON AS YOU RE-ELECT ME!"

[SergeStorms]

18. And who has politicized the CDC?

DONALD FUCKING TRUMP, that's who! Trump would never order them to put out a phony alert about a vaccine, would he?

When I read about an efficacious vaccine being available in a reputable medical journal, then I'll believe it.

[amcgrath]

19. In Canada

The government announced this week that they think they have a vaccine. They have contracted a number of manufacturers to produce it when it is ready. They have been contracted to make 79m doses (our population is 37m). The government also announced that they are hoping it will have passed trials and be ready to go by mid 2021.

But we don’t have a November election. There is every possibility that anything rolled out by the Trump campaign will be quite harmless. And there is every possibility that it will be useless. He only has to have something imminently available to claim that he has solved the crisis. Which he currently claims isn’t really much of an issue anyway. He doesn’t care who dies before, during, after, or even as a direct result of voting. He just wants to win

[roamer65]

23. I may try to get the Canadian one.

I would trust it more.

[paleotn]

21. "IF" he data is overwhelmingly positive...

That's one big ass "IF".

24. Some vaccine candidates increase your chances for getting AIDS

Some scientists also worry an Ad5-based vaccine could increase chances of contracting HIV.

27. Maybe states can set up big tents

outside of polling places. Cast your Ballot and get your Vaccination.
