They're saying 6. Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #5

Who is they? Biden? stopbush Jan 2021 #11

The group of right-wingers who are talking about this. Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #15

I'll bet he meant 6 weeks? In 6 months even w/o vaccine 100% masks and distancing help a lot. Pobeka Jan 2021 #3

I know why they're hanging their hat on "months" Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #9

I'm guessing he's mostly talking about people who have already been infected but Mike 03 Jan 2021 #4

Again, then we should start seeing results in a month, shouldn't we? Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #7

I'm thinking more like six to eight weeks. Mike 03 Jan 2021 #12

I think he needs to come out and clarify his statement. Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #16

Dear Goddess. How many people will be vaccinated in a month? We are seeing, according to niyad Jan 2021 #39

One of the Facebook posts mentioned 6 months. Baitball Blogger Jan 2021 #14

I suspect will will start to see results in a couple of months. marmar Jan 2021 #17

A couple of months means two months. Several months means three or more. stopbush Jan 2021 #24

I don't think most people adhere to the literal definition of several when speaking. marmar Jan 2021 #37
