1. As early as the October surprise

Oh you can bet the im-potus will announce one

[LisaL]

4. He could announce a vaccine whether there is one or not.

No way they can test these vaccines fully by October. No way to say how long immunity is going to last.
And then of course many Trumpers don't even believe in vaccines to begin with.

[Merlot]

11. Not sure I'd believe in a vaccine promoted by the trumpft administration

Doesn't make me an anti-vaxer, just skeptical of any vaccine announced in October.

[not_the_one]

22. Why not? He announced that ANYONE WHO WANTED A COVID TEST, COULD GET ONE.

He will announce a LOT of shit in October.

IF it is bullshit, we need to have science/medical professionals lined up to refute it.

We can call it the HOAX Vaccine.

[SammyWinstonJack]

23. And we still won't vote for him.

[Demovictory9]

2. Excellent.

[LisaL]

3. It can't be fully tested by October.

The next step is to vaccinate many thousands of people and then to see if there is a statistical difference with them developing covid. How all of this can be done by October?

5. Lots and lots of "ifs." Don't count on it.

Despite still having much to prove, companies are gearing up manufacturing without knowing if their product will ever reach the market. By the end of the year, companies promise they can have hundreds of millions of doses. “We keep saying, ‘Are you sure?’ And they keep saying yes,” Fauci said. “That’s pretty impressive if they can do it.”

For instance, if everything goes right, a vaccine in testing now from Pfizer might be available as soon as October, Pfizer chairman and chief executive Albert Bourla said during the Milken Institute session. “If we are lucky, and the product works and we do not have significant bumps on our way to manufacturing,” he said, the company expects to be able to make 1 billion doses by early next year.

Pfizer released preliminary data on the safety of one of four vaccine candidates it is evaluating July 1 at medRxiv.org. In the small study of 45 people, no severe side effects were noted. Vaccination produced neutralizing antibodies at levels 1.8 to 2.8 times levels found in blood plasma from people who had recovered from COVID-19, researchers reported....

If manufacturers can deliver a vaccine as promised, there could be another big hurdle: There’s no guarantee people will line up for shots. About a quarter of Americans said in recent polls that they would “definitely” or “probably not” get a coronavirus vaccine if one were available. “That’s a pending public health crisis,” Pitts says.

8. +1

Seems pretty "iffy" to me.

As in the story has lots of ifs, maybe, and perhaps modifiers.

[SoonerPride]

6. I would be willing to bet it won't

Don't hold your breath.

I think the press and especially the TV media keeps feeding the public these hopeful stories to boost morale.

There is little hope for a quick fix and I wish they would stop peddling nonsense.

[samsingh]

7. but will it work or is this trump's Hail Mary?

[LisaL]

9. A lot of his supporters don't even believe in vaccines.

Or they thing covid vaccine is a plan to put microchip into them.

[samsingh]

10. that's a good point

[Fiendish Thingy]

12. But saying a vaccine is "available" doesn't really mean it is widely available

In the link you posted, the company that hopes its vaccine will be “available” by October, said the vaccine wouldn’t be mass produced until early 2021.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. Bingo. That's right up there with

everyone who wants a test can get tested.

[GeorgeGist]

13. China will say NO

To US.

[angrychair]

14. No. Way. In. Hell.

Am I taking a vaccine that comes out in October or that comes from any US based lab.

The trump administration isnt just cutting corners to speed things up, they've shredded safety guidelines completely.
Plus drug companies creating the vaccine have been given immunity from liability.

It might be safer to drink Clorox.

[lpbk2713]

15. I expect Trump will announce a miraculous vaccine around mid-October.

"Fabulous. Just fabulous."

Of course it may be some snake oil with kerosene as the main ingredient that
will do more harm than good but there won't be time to prove him wrong.

[BGBD]

16. they are going

to manufacture millions and millions of doses of their vaccine before it is occur of testing, essentially. If they get through testing and are approved the manufacturer in will be complete and they will just need to disperse it.


Of course there will be no information on the long term safety or effectiveness of it.

The Chinese have already given limited approval for a vaccine. They have approved it for use by the military.

[BSdetect]

17. What is a flu shot compared to a vaccine?

[still_one]

18. Johnson and Johnson and Astrazeneca have pledged that any vaccine they will make available at

cost.

I don't believe any other companies have made that pledge as of yet

[llashram]

19. I wonder how many

medical scientists, researchers and medical professionals are being pressured by trump and his administration goons like dr. carson to beat the election with some kind of announcement of a vaccine, of course truly untested correctly. And some might be helped, highly touted, others will further sicken and die, if not from the virus, the cure and not much about that will hit MSM.

These lying fascist will go to any extreme to beat Vice President Biden. Trump is taking the advice from Putin, it's alleged the Mein Kampf is on his bed stand and his people have studied how to destroy our still developing democracy with race-baiting their followers that white power is the only right power in this country. Violently shutting down protest against the fascists running this country at this time.


Lies, lies, lies spewed out continually from this potus. I saw a number 22thousand+ somewhere and I believe it. Lie long enough, in their book it becomes the truth.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. I, for one, am going to be slow to get a vaccine,

especially one that seems to have been rushed to market. I remember the Swine Flu vaccine fiasco all too well.

And even though I'm nominally in a high risk group because of my age (71), I don't have underlying health problems and it's easy for me to stay home most of the time. When I'm out I wear a mask. Meanwhile, once we do, if we do, get an effective vaccine, there are are a lot of those who are going to need it before me.

[NCjack]

24. Trump's victims are crying out from their graves, "he is a mass murderer.

Don't vote for him or any Republican, ever, for the rest of your lives. You owe us that."
