Pfizer will get full approval. Nothing in the data shows it won't. So will others.

This idea that corporate America is going to mandate vaccinations to do business with them or for employment isn't going to be borne out in reality.

That leaves the rest you mentioned. Statistically insignificant with respect to who the unvaccinated population overall is going to be. I don't think people are thinking that part through.

Under a one and done vaccine the school system would be huge. I don't think the schools will have a mandate and at this point the vaccine is looking more like a flu type vaccine. We just don't know.

I'm not saying it isn't a big deal. Pfizer will begin manufacturing, distributing, and pricing the vaccine on their own. That will be the biggest change.

The country is heading back to normal. Some places, like where I live(high population center), we are just about back to normal. Nothing is going to stop it.

It's a process. LisaL May 2021 #1
