Medical scientists began preparing for the generic type of CV (not just CV-19) 3 or 4 years ago. The China wet markets were a CV Pandemic waiting to happen. That is the REASON why they were able to get vaccines for COVID-19 faster than other disease vaccines. Then after some "pulling of teeth" with China, China gave the US and the world the new DNA print of CV-19. Then world-wide SCIENCE went into gear.

Hold onto your water. What happened to so many on this forum calling CV a "hoax". Suddenly it is not a hoax and everyone wants a cure IMMEDIATELY. In June it was a hoax....now it is an emergency. How shortsighted can we be?

I will go first in line.

I have always tried to be careful and considered and to seek the best professional opinions for our daughters congenital heart condition and related medical issues. I am somewhat of a picky person about medical care.

We three are satisfied that as soon as we get the go ahead signal from Dr. Joseph Rizzi, our GP here in The Villages, we will get the shot or shots.

Please do what your good sense tells you to do. But PLEASE do not be diverted by conspiracy theories or political Bovine emissions. They come in all forms and I AM TIRED OF IT.

This 1st CV vaccine was designed and produced in Germany by a company started by 2 Muslim men.

Yes, good post. It is standard protocol. Not at all POLITICAL!

The delay isn't political; it is the time necessary for the panelists to study the mountain of data and reach conclusions about safety and efficacy. Just stop with the stupid conspiracy theories, please.

Maybe Allah blessed those 2 guys, vaccine... what a gift to the world!

No. The Oxford vaccine is the Astra Zenica vaccine. It has a 60 or 70% efficacy.

Exactly correct, good post.

Yes, logical - good post!

Yes. A comma or other punctuation might be HELPFUL for that post. Thank you, Mr. Helpful.

That was extremely informative! And I believe that the Winchester 1894 was the rifle that won the West - very historic reference!

Right now, that is NOT the nearly universal conclusion of the World's Medical Scientists.

Get educated. The Winchester 1873 was the rifle which held the title of "Won the West". The west was "won" by 1894.

The 1894 model Winchester was acclaimed to be one of the most famous and best hunting rifles of all times.

Thanks, I appreciate getting educated.

They did take hundreds of millions to start stock piling the drug so once it is approved they can release it immediately.

Why does a person's religion need to be relevant to the subject? Does Muslim or Christian matter when discussing medicine?
So, you feel that a few hundred/thousand deaths is OK in exigent circumstances? Maybe they could just issue some more masks that are the "cure all?"
America is not held in "high esteem?" I haven't lived overseas for a few years, but I did live half my life overseas and do not agree. We are held in VERY HIGH esteem, even though there are many countries that are jealous of spoiled Americans that take our great nation of Freedom and Liberty for granted. All of the other nations emulate us in many different aspects, such as clothing, cultural music, motor vehicles and movies. But, I can understand how some would think different here in the modern and liberal world. We are constantly bombarded by the media and Hollywood by those that take advantage of all America's got to offer but turn around and disparage it every chance they get. Those that want power must make the minions feel like they NEED their leadership. I won't expound on that further because I do not wish to make this a political thread and have it removed. Some on here insist on making everything political in an attempt to shut it down.

I am all for being careful with medicines when they are created, BUT this one has been tested and tested again and again by many thousands of subjects. Whether the FDA has had sufficient time to review the documentation, I do not know. However, I am not the one that believes that the world is about to end without a miracle. I am not the one that is running amok yelling "the end is near, or the sky is falling." The UK is issuing the vaccine, period. Maybe the FDA is making it political, or maybe not. Hopefully, no one is making it political. All I know is that there are several well tested vaccines out there and there a lot of scared folks out there that need something now. Personally, I don't care if the vaccine comes out next year or the year after. I am not worried about myself. I have lived a good life and do not allow fear to rule my life.
Unlike a couple on here, I do not push the negative. Rather I enjoy the positive and feel that most others do also.

" and feel that most others do also"..........I can feel the NEED expressed here. The need to feel that they are among friends and "like-minded", "like-thinking", "good people". It feels all warm and comfortable when a person can parrot the same thoughts as their friends and co-workers. And all can, in concert, expel out the SAME propaganda. "Hate the Eurasians, love Big Brother" !!!!!!

What in the world are you talking about?

And again, three times as many posts as the next highest poster. Why do you consistently try to dominate every thread you post in?

He thinks quantity makes up for loss of quality.

And obviously it does not.

Generally the FDA takes 6-10 months to approve a drug or vaccine once they receive the clinical trial data from the pharma company. Approval for the coronavirus vaccine is taking place quite quickly by FDA norms. They'll get criticized whether they approve it too fast or too slow.

Hope they work on it efficiently. Two people are dying every minute. You can count the time they take in number of lives.

Why did you post then if you want your post removed??

So the UK short circuited the process and we can expect their vaccinated citizens to start dropping like flies according to you.

One never knows, now do one?

If it’s not safe they wouldn’t put it out there yet. Where’s the line, I want to be the 1st one in line!

That is clearly not what I said. I appreciate the honest give and take when done with facts. In this case, Great Britain did approve the vaccine very quickly. Other European nations have criticized Great Britain for their haste.

As noted in a previous post, Great Britain has quickly approved previous medicines that were later shown to have serious side effects. BTW, this is not a matter of British scientists vs US scientists, but rather the approval process.
