He added that the administration is already working with companies to equip and outfit manufacturing facilities and acquire raw materials. The U.S. government has given grants ranging from several hundred million dollars to over $1 billion to Johnson & Johnson, Moderna Inc, AstraZeneca Plc and Novovax Inc.

Clinical trials for therapeutics can produce results in a matter of weeks, making it possible to produce hundereds of thousands of doses by fall, the senior administration official said.

jonrohnson Vaccine for the sniffles? Hmm. Weird.

And it will not happen, get it.

JoelCRosenberg We don’t need it.

💀

How do we know this vaccine works? What? I feel like this article just skipped over the part where the vaccine is invented and tested for safety....

It won't work but Trump administration will pretend it does

Don't know why but I keep thinking about Thalidomide babies...

Whew. Now I can quit injecting disinfectant and remove this UV bulb from my a$$

Soooo many questions.

All the Democrats should lineup for the vaccine

Don’t we um need a vaccine first

Pump. Dump. Rinse. Repeat. Please stop this nonsense.

Let tRump & his family test it out first.

Is this the vaccine that may not be safe or effective?

Again everyone is so fucking spooked about the virus. That they ignore how rushed this vaccine is. The process to make a vaccine takes a minimum of 7 years.

It's going to be like those placebos in Contagion, isn't it?
