In terms of efficacy, availability, or distribution, part of me feels we’re being led by the nose at the behest of the market and 4th quarter earnings. It’s also no surprise they waited to sit on the news until immediately after Biden had clinched the election.

It's clear no one knows what's going on, and it just feels like more hot air. Something just doesn’t sit right.

I also don't see any escape from the reality that the only way we can cope long-term with viruses is implementing mandatory testing and a global public health database.

    They just announced today that the phizer vaccine is showing 95% efficacy in phase 3. Independent review in a few days.

    Sinopharm says 97% with theirs.

    I don't think they are lying, I think no one (news/public) is seriously talking about distribution.

      talking about distribution

      Naw, it'll be fine and easy and good. Capitalism is extremely good at distribution. Just look at food, housing, healthcare, knowledge in the form of education, etc. All perfectly distributed for the betterment of everybody.
