That for Coronavirus has had to be designed from scratch. Not only does this take longer, but more testing is needed for safety before it can be generally released for use. The major part of the "delay" in releasing drugs is the safety testing, and this is a trade-off between the risks and the benefits. Since the benefits of an effective Coronavirus vaccine are huge, it is considered worthwhile to take a bigger risk that there might be more adverse effects to its use, rather than spending years reducing this risk (and losing the benefits). |

With a population of over 300 million in the USA, (over 21 million in FL) the vaccine coming in the next few weeks/months is a drop in the bucket, but a good start. Wear your mask & wash your hands in the meantime. |

People are dying everyday without covid 19. Remember thalidomide?

Keep in mind that for a long time the FDA has often been slower to approve new meds than most European countries including the UK. This is something I have noticed for decades. I don’t know if that is good or if it’s bad but it really isn’t a political statement of THIS time period. It’s some thing that’s been happening for a long time. Hope everyone stays safe. |

The number of lawsuits after thalidomide just showed these companies they better test and test and test or they could pay the price. |

The reasons for the delay in the U.S. has been extensively explained in both newspapers as well as TV. The delay won’t be anywhere near as long as asserted by this poster.
THIS POST IS POLITICAL AND SHOULD BE REMOVED!

I was told by someone that the reason the UK has the Pfizer vaccine first is that it was developed in cooperation with Oxford in England.

Let's separate the press releases from a company from the actual technical data coming out of the research and trials. The FDA has a system whereby independent scientists review the submitted data which is not a trivial matter. Taking a few weeks for this process to run its course to ensure a safe and effective vaccine seems prudent to me. Yes I know that people are dying. However, in the past, people have suffered greatly when the process has been short circuited.

I used to be a pharmaceutical sales rep. I can remember a drug, Oraflex, made by Eli Lilly. Approved in Britain before the US. had to be taken off the market less than a month after it was marketed. It had a host of side effects not seen until widespread use. Britain banned it first due the the side effects being seen. Seldane, an antihistamine only lasted about a year. there are many others. With the planned use in the entire population, I am glad they are taking every precaution in checking the findings.

I watched when people gathered here in a large group and wondered if infection would increase afterward and it appeared not to. I have had a million questions and tried to find the answers from science. I was very frustrated that there were so many to me foolish arguments and unfounded conspiracy figures. I have tried to separate what is really happening from what people are telling us is happening. I hope they get it here fast and refrigerate it carefully and that someone will invite us three to be vaccinated. Soon. That is what I want for Christmas.

Pfizer said their quick development of a vaccine had nothing to do with Warp Speed. That sounds logical...It’s all about the BILLIONS of dollars world-wide to be made from getting out a vaccine to be sold across our planet!!!!!
