And who said it was going to be six months before "we" get our vaccinations?
What's with all the "misinformation" being spread as fact?
In the interest in getting correct information in this thread, I must point out there was one death in the early AstraZeneca vaccine trial in a person in Brazil. They broke the blinding and the death was in the placebo group not in the active Covid vaccine group.
As others have pointed out, when you have nearly 100,000 people in studies there will be deaths because people die. As far as I can find, there have not yet been any reported deaths in the active vaccine arm of the ongoing studies. But there will be. And there will also be deaths in the placebo arm.
