Scientists Raise Questions About Moderna Vaccine In Market-Shaking Report
If you bothered to read the article in Forbes and the article in Stat News it's based on you would know Moderna has not published "trial results" yet, just a press release saying it looks promising.

The two experts they interviewed for those articles basically said we need all the data published before knowing if this is truly a breakthrough. Moderna says they will publish all the data when the study is completed.

Final quote from one of the experts:

“I would like to see the data to make my own interpretation of the data. But I think it is at least encouraging that we’ve seen immune responses with this RNA vaccine that we haven’t seen with previous RNA vaccines for other pathogens. Whether it’s going to be enough, we don’t know,” Durbin said.

PS I wonder if this had something to do with stock market dropping yesterday.

The Congressional Budget Office also released a bleak outlook on economic growth and unemployment, predicting a 38% drop in second-quarter GDP as 26 million Americans remain without a job.
