C.D.C. Tells States How to Prepare for Covid-19 Vaccine by Early November
Source: New York Times
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 countrys 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.

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.

Just sayin.

be a placebo or water she gets. She wont get the vaccine until its proven safe. Maybe she will get it while in prison.

(397 posts)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 dont 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 isnt really much of an issue anyway. He doesnt care who dies before, during, after, or even as a direct result of voting. He just wants to win
