10. Those are within the margin of error

You’re literally talking about a handful of people in both trials, both are very encouraging. Would still like to see some “real” papers on the vaccines. One negative I’ve heard about Moderna’s vaccine is that the two doses are taken 4 weeks apart, I believe Pfizer’s interval is half that or less. It would be ideal if they could be scaled up quickly in parallel rather than one vs the other, that way Moderna’s vaccine could go out to the more rural areas that don’t have expensive refrigeration units while Pfizer’s could go out to urban areas.

By the way if Trump wants to take any “credit” for these vaccine results coming out so quickly it’s because the number of infections has skyrocketed the past few weeks, allowing the companies to get results back on their effectiveness much more quickly than anticipated.
