But, yea: I'll absolutely take this good news!!
and barring evidence of neg. outcomes, i'll be in line to take the vaccine
That's going to be pretty long line.I think we can trust how Pfizer is portraying this. I tend to trust Pfizer to begin with but I doubt Pfizer even has the data yet. Pfizer is relaying what they've been told by the independent group running the clinical trials.One thing does not add up for me. The CEO of Pfizer says that by summer of 2021 that anyone who wants a shot can get a shot. Unless he doesn't think many people will, I don't see how there will be enough vaccine for that unless he's also considering vaccines from other companies. Pfizer will be able to make 1.3 Billion does through 2021. That's 650 million people that can be vaccinated, 2 doses are required per person. That's Pfizer's production for the world. Even taking China out of equation, there are 6.4 billion people in the world. So Pfizer will make enough vaccine for 1 in 10 people. Right now, the US allocation from those 1.3 billion doses is 100 million. So the US will have enough Pfizer vaccine for 50 million people.There should be other vaccines though. The Moderna vaccine is very similar to the Pfizer vaccine. So if the Pfizer vaccine works then so should Moderna's. Hopefully there will be enough different vaccines from different companies that there will be enough to vaccinate everyone who wants it.
