Is a coronavirus vaccine possible in 2020?

Pfizer says it could have results as soon as the end of October for its possible COVID vaccine. But health experts are concerned about avoiding any possible political interference in the process ahead of the 2020 election. ProPublica reporter Caroline Chen has studied the FDA process for approving vaccines and joins CBSN to explain what Americans should be on the lookout for.

Isn't it risky to rush a vaccine? My grandparents have some rough stories about early FLU shots.

A reporter is interviewing a reporter and calling this news? Has ethics gone out the window?

[rfi-cryptolab]

Don't care. I won't be taking one, ever.

America is

23 in education.
37 in healthcare.
34 in raising family index.
No high-speed train.
Highest number of homeless people.
Highest number of incarcerated people.
78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.

Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it's wallet for the rich.

Let's talk like adults, instead of name calling.

I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!

Let's make our country better together.

1 Thessalonians 5 : 21-23
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.


23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm not antivax in the slightest, but there is no way I'm signing up for something so rushed that hasn't gone through thorough testing and trials.

[davidye]

i hope it in 2021 cause i dont want to wake up at 6 and take bus to school

[spooklissity]

Short answer in my opinion is no. Why? Well because even though scientists spent half a year on it that doesn't help the fact that something could go wrong with it or might not even work.

He still need to take accountability for his proud boys statement.

[mattrivera]

I don't GIVA We getting a safe vaccine before 2022. Heck yes. I'll wait another year.

The Lord Jesus Christ is coming for his people.

He is almost done separating the wheat from the chaff.

He is almost done separating the goats from the sheep. He is gathering his flock.

Choose you this day whom you will serve. The end is nigh. The night is far spent...

PREPARE the WAY of the LORD your God

[ibraheemrao]

Wouldn't getting 70 percent of the population vaccinated not be that hard as it sounds because schools and workplaces can require it.

[preetammukherjee]

already in my country daily 1 lacs plus cases are happening.. already the death has crossed 99500.
now or never.. we need vaccine.. otherwise people like me who need to work in public dealing jobs will really have the risk.

[haroldhenderson]

Yes, after the FDA, CDC, review the data until Dec. 31st. Ship on Jan. 20th.

[AUWRECKU]

no u stooped it takes 5 years to fully get an actual cure

[ellag]

I wont get it but at least it will make people shut up and stop demanding we wear masks

[greybeard]

I’ll happily take a vaccine (I just got my flu shot like I do every year), but not this early. Takes like 4 years to produce a safe vaccine (and that’s the fastest ever). I don’t think rushing it is a good idea.

Heal the world. Make it a better place for you, and for me, and the entire human race.
